    Im so tired of these posters thinking that every boxer has to fight every single-handed fighter.Even after prime they demand.Yesterday they complain about a non 10 top fighter,today he's fighting the arguably the best P4P.

      I'm sorry, but who has Canelo fought that is even better than a shot Mayorga or faded Margarito? Those two guys would still steamroll through Canelo's resume.

      Cotto is based of his introductory win at 154 and past performance. Its a fair ranking. Nobody there is truly established themselves as the best of the best. The only one there that deserves maybe an honorable mention is...nope, only Molina deserves an honorable mention.

      Margarito is still better than everyone there and I'd still favor him except against Lara and of course Cotto.

      In other news, everyone give the OP a cookie for stating the obvious because really...who cares

          Also they're are both incredibley slow and easy to hit.

          I think Cotto will be overwhelmed by the difference when he fights Mayweather compared to his last two fights.
          well cotto has fought faster fighters before...he damn near beat everyone relevant at ww

          who in the top 10 right now should cotto have fought? kirkland was in prison, angulo couldnt get a visa, lara wasnt top 10 he was an up and comer, molina was considered a journeyman, rodriguez was considered a journeyman, dzinziruk was horribly inactive, vanes was a joke and is a joke now

          both mayorga and margarito were marketable...from a business point of view these fights made sense

          cotto never ducked anyone...he certainly isnt going to start now

            Don't worry bro...these cats are just ingrained with a moron gene

            These are the same dudes that said that Margarito was going to make him take a knee again and also said that Yuri was too big and too fast for Cotto coming off of a beatdown by Pac at a higher weight. The knee going out is a complimentary excuse, but they forget that prior to all that, Cotto's superior footwork, angles, jab and timing was too much for Foreman, whether he had two legs or four legs.

            Now its the stage where you just dismiss everything. Just point and laugh bro

              Well since we're being honest, the last time Margarito was worth anything was the night Mosley throttled him into oblivion.
