    I would give Manny credit for the Cotto win only if it was at 147, to bad it wasn't.

      Mosley and Duran were light weights before beating Leonard and DLH respectively, and that's more impressive than anything Manny has done at WW. What's your point? The size thing is BS.

        Thanks to his great wins he became fighter of the decade. I'm glad you're just a poster.

              Mosley had to move up and he is impressive IDK about Duran I am no historian but pointing to a couple of the best ever doesn't diminish what another one of the best fighters ever is doing. If the size thing was such BS more fighters would be moving up scales and dominating but they are not.

Manny should be held to a higher standard, I mean we are talking about the fighter of the decade right?
                Oscar's condition wasn't Pacquiao's fault, and it doesn't change that Oscar tried to cherry pick a lightweight. It isn't a great win because of Oscar's condition, but it's still a good win because of where Pacquiao came from and what he did.

                Arguing against Cotto being anything other than a very good win is ridiculous. Just stop.

                Pacquiao completely dismantled Clottey. Clottey was not a great welterweight, but he never got beat up like that. Only a great fighter like Pacquiao or Mayweather could make Clottey look that bad.

                I see you have an agenda, but come on.

                  hindsight....yes...

                  it is easy to say something anything after the fight...

                  like the loser was old, shot, drained, on iv, etc., etc...

                  no longer taking into account that the loser was the favorite, or still highly rated...

                    cotto and clottey have to be either both good wins or not. they fought to basically a draw. and clottey fought margarito tougher than cotto did. clottey is boring but he's no bum.

                      Oscar was a dead man walking, did you see the Forbes fight? What makes Cotto better than a good win? Cotto was damaged after the Margarito fight. What did Cotto do after the Margarito fight at WW to be considered such a great win? Beating Jennings for a vacant belt, arguably losing to Clottey? That's a weak ass argument. Everybody should know by now that I can't stand Manny, but I'm calling his WW run the way I see it.
