Who has the better resume, Mayweather or Cotto???

[Kagami Taiga]

So I am to understand Mayweather's prime was 130- 135. I agree with that.

No doubt.

But yeah 30 years old at 147 and a top of their game, um ok.

Nah, he just retired.

sure, he retired. and for the last year and a half, cotto should have done the same thing. hes fought trash. i really dont see ppls arguments in favor of cotto being this great fighter. hes a megastar a cash cow just like floyd and his career had a very simliar patter, the difference being floyd kept winning, and cotto lost his biggest fights and lost a step as well. if that makes him better, because he got his ass beat then cong****.

[onechance87]

Cant believe this yall voting for cotto.Even oscar delahoya got a
better resume then cotto

floyd didn't get tuned up by a blown up featherweight.

floyd didn't go life and death with joshua clottey.

floyd didn't quit to a tough but limited brawler.

Easy to do that when you never attempted to fight them.

Thanks for the softball homey!

He is, and so is Mayweather's comp.

the guys that mayweather fought that people complain about are the best fights of cotto's career with the exception of marg.


cotto would go life and death with guys that if they fought floyd we would complain was a "cherry pick"


cotto is a good fighter and good guy. he is also very entertaining.

but he just isn't anything more than that. his skills , resume , legacy , etc. is overrated.

he's just a good fighter. people try to make him more than that and he's not.

So Mayweather was smarter than Cotto for not taking the risks?

Maybe

floyd is trying to fight pac now.

pac's team is ducking , dodging , parrying the fight like they were pernell whitaker.

if by resume , you're just counting who they fought.....

oscar got a better resume than floyd too.

I don't think Cotto is great. I think it's good he took the risks.

Floyd could have done the same and come out a lot better.

[daggum]

mayweathers run from 130 to 135 is easily more of a murderers row that cottos whole career. get cotto's d*ck outta your mouth.

i don't agree with that. look at the welterweight rankings for 2008.

1. margarito -fought
2. cotto -can't fight himself
3. mosley -fought
4. clottey -fought
5. pac -fought
6. quintana -fought
7. judah -fought
8. collazo -didnt fight
9. berto -didnt fight
10. hlatschwayo -didnt fight

compare that to floyd's resume at 130 for 2000



1. Diego Corrales -fought
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr. - cant fight himself
3. Joel Casamayor -didnt fight
4. Acelino Freitas -didnt fight
5. Steve Forbes -didnt fight
6. Jong-Kwon Baek -didnt fight
7. Lakva Sim -didnt fight
8. Jesus Chavez -fought
9. Yong Soo Choi -didnt fight
10 Roberto Garcia -didnt fight


cotto fought every relevant welter except floyd who wouldn't fight him and williams who no one wanted to fight. floyd's never cleaned out or even tried to clean out a division. cotto's record paid the price for fighting everyone while floyd cherry picked from division to division the easiest possible come forward opponents, corrales, castillo, gatti, baldomir etc...he never fought guys like casamayor, johnston, ksyzu, cotto, pac.
