Who did better or worst in the last 5 years, Cotto, Pac, JMM, Floyd?

Listing the legit wins each had over Top 10 fighters, it has to be this order.
Pacquiao: Marquez, D. Diaz, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Marquez (could have been a loss though), and what should have been a W over Bradley.
Mayweather: Marquez (not a good win at first but an even older JMM arguably beat Manny at the same weight), Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto.
Marquez: Casamayor, J. Diaz, Katsidis, and what could have been a W over Manny in a close fight.
Cotto: Clottey (could have been a loss, it was a real close fight) and Foreman.
Pacquaio was the most active in good fights, though he wasted time with Margarito and Mosley, and the Oscar at 147 win doesn't count as a legit good win in my book.
Mayweather could have easily been #1 but he was too inactive with his layoffs and than jail time. Still though, his wins over Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto were all good wins when he beat them, and looking back now the Marquez win was a dominant solid win too.
Marquez had some solid wins over Casamayor, J. Diaz, and Katsidis. And he arguably beat Manny, but officially he lost what was a close fight. His wins weren't better than Floyd's at all.
Cotto was clearly the bottom. Had we been going back to 07' when Cotto beat Mosley, it would have made it closer. His only solid or legit good wins were Clottey and Foreman.Last edited by 4Corners; 12-04-2012, 10:25 PM.Comment

Cotto second worst

Marquez second best

Floyd Mayweather
comes out of retirement and gives Marquez the ass whooping of a lifetime(something Pacquiao can't do)
beats up Mosley( same mosley that Pacquiao ran away from/knocked out Margarito)
beat up ortiz(you know ortiz, a welterweight champion, something Pacquiao hasn't been in the ring with in 5 years?)
went up in weight and beat up Cotto(without a catchweight, something Pacquiao is afraid of doing)

Financially Floyd. Fights 4 times... Becomes highest paid athlete.. Sounds good to me.
In all seriousness...
Jmm...in the public eye.
Cotto...every loss is attributed to the wrappings in his fans eyes.
And a tie between Floyd and Pac for last.
Floyd's most exciting fights have been against his wife and 50.
Pac becomes fighter of the decade with arguably 5 losses...fighting shot fighters. The same shot fighters that have Floyd on the bottom of the list...AND he is getting ripped off by Arum. This is all while being thought of as the lesser fighter (is the underdog) of the two big names.
Honestly as much as I hate Floyd I'd rather be him or JMM of the 4. I'd hate to be Cotto the most followed by Pac. Pac is at least loved by his peeps...unlike Floyd.
LOL... so trueComment
