    Martinez win over Pav made him undisputed Champion at 160lb..His win over Pwill was great as well,not to mention Pwill was a guy who could not buy a fight..Voted the most avoided fighter,Martinez fought him twice and left no doubt about it the 2end time around..Cintron was a draw,it also was the only time I seen a fighter get KO'd and then fight to a draw...

    Pwill KO'd Quintana and beat Marga's..Say what ya will about Chavez,but dude is freakishly big and durable...I count this as a very good win for Martinez..Once again,Martinez is more accomplished then Cotto..This can't be argued tbh..

      So Quintana is equivalent to a young Vargas? Um, okaaaay....


      why the hell not? was Vargas some world beater ? no he wasnt.... i think we're talking about a different Fernando Vargas.... i know boxing fans like to rewrite history but vargas wasnt a great fighter.

        Quartey was more than holding his own with elite comp in that weight-range (147-154), should have had a clear win over Hoya. you don't know about Winky Wright?

              what you neglect to mention, though, is that those wins are vastly more creditable than any W Quintana (or the great majority of fighters) will ever put on his record. and he had them by age 22. he stepped up and fought Tito at that age, gave a skillful and courageous display (outboxing him over the middle portion of the fight after recovering from being dropped twice in the early going), but was ultimately overwhelmed and out-experienced, sustaining a beating from which he emerged not quite the same fighter. even then, he was still able to give some very hard nights' work to De La Hoya and Mosley. we never even saw Vargas' prime, because he was savaged by Tito before he reached prime age years, and yet he still has much better work on his rez than Quintana does.

              Vargas was a completely different class of fighter to Quintana, a much more creditable scalp, and only a novice fan could fail to perceive that.

                You can't argue facts..Martinez is the undisputed MW Champion of the world..Without question he is more accomplished then Cotto..Only a fool would think other wise..

                I don't believe in triangle theories,which is was I brought out the facts..Which are Martinez is the top dog of his div..As was Hatton..Which makes both man more accomplished(well for Hatton at 140lb)then Cotto..Who only beat one Champion for a belt..The great Yuri Foreman..Come son..

                  all that guy debates with is numbers and stats, which are often misleading.

                  for the record, better 'accomplishments' aside, i think you can make a strong case for Cotto having the superior body of work over Martinez. who has the better individual win or better standout wins is more arguable - indeed, i may lean toward Martinez on close analysis. ultimately, i don't think Martinez is significantly above Cotto in legacy terms, if at all. we'll see what they each do next.

                    this is the thing about 'accomplishments'.

                    if guy A is #1 in a weak divisional era, does that mean he has a better body of work or is truly greater than guy B who fought in a notably stronger era for that division and was a close #2 (behind a chief rival who ranked among the truly elite of the time)? guy A may have been more accomplished in a purely superficial, titular sense, but was his run as substantial as guy B's?

                      a novice fan....

                      im sorry but even in his biggest wins quartey and wright were close....

                      all im saying is quintanas resume of WINS is equal to vargas....

                      we can argue all day about all the fights vargas lost... it doesnt change the fact those were his two biggest wins....

                      and i think beating two young undefeated fighters in williams and julio is at least equivalent.
