Only reason I wanted to see the fight was so Cotto had a chance to get revenge.
In terms of legacy it does nothing what so ever for him.

4. Barrera
5. Marquez
6. Cotto
7. Calzaghe
8. Wright
9. Mosley
10. Wladimir Klitschko
Now that's just based on what these guys did from 2000 to 2009. Now that one of Cotto's losses is basically null and void, he's only lost to the guy I rated 2nd in fighter of the decade. Career-wise, I think he's accomplished more than Calzaghe, Wright and Wlad. You don't have to agree though.

Originally posted by thoughtsss View PostIt's funny how Marquez was top 10 pfp when he fought Floyd and then after Floyd dominated him Marquez only drops 1 or 2 spots in top 10 and then when he loses to Pac he's still top 10 pfp, they even got him listed at #3 after the pac fight over Sergio and Nonito, but after Cotto loses they take him off there top 10 pfp lists quick. He's only had 2 losses one being non legit and another being to the #1 dude so I think Cotto should belong in top 10 pfp. IMO the Pac fight was not legit do to catchweight so I think Cotto does deserve to get a chance to avenge his loss to Pac. That fighter of the decade list looks pretty good to me.

Originally posted by DiegoFuego View PostCareer-wise, I think Morales is better than both Barrera and Marquez. But that was just of the last decade. And between 2000 and 2009, Morales lost 6 fights (though I always thought the Diaz loss was BS). Same reason Roy Jones or Oscar De La Hoya isn't on that list. Great careers, but they didn't do their best work in the latter half of the 2000s.
His 2 best wisn are between 00-05 with Pacquaio and Barrera.
Wins over Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, Guty Espadas Jr, Paulie Ayala etc.
I'd say without any question that his resume from 00-05 utterly trumps his resume from 97-99.
And his resume from 00-05 certainly smashes Cotto's entire career out the water.
