    Ill say 1st that ok the Margo fight was bull**** and that was a manufactured title..but the Cotto fight was legit and all the rest of his titles he beat a champion for them
    The Cotto was win was 90% legit to me just because he had already fought at 147 and he outweighed him as far as I can remember..Cotto wasn't able to put on the weight he usually would after the weigh in and had a sunken in stomach but...... He fought with the perfect gameplan. Countering Cotto jab with the left and circling to the right was genius.

    And why do people never mention that Pac basically skipped 135,140? His only fight at 135 was D.Diaz and his only fight at 140 was Hatton who was coming back down from 147

    His accomplishments are tremendous but in my eyes he's a 5 weight World Champion and thats what matters.

      I like manny and I respect most of what he did but I was never a fan of people fighting for vacant titles

          Hatton was LINEAL at 140 that is as legit as it gets..and 135 Diaz wasn't the most skilled champion but he was in fact a legit title holder..and Cotto was 146 the fight against Clottey and was just 1 pound lighter for this fight..Cotto lost to a better fighter plain and simple

            Not only was Marg not the champ, he didn't even have a single win at jr. middleweight. That can't even be considered a paper title.

            Btw Manny's lightweight championship is iffy, too. It's as paper as it gets.

                    Probably not, I only count seven though. Margs doesnt count. Im glad no one is bashing Pac or Floyd in this thread. Pretty classy guys, finally! Pac was my second favorite fighter, and still is in my top 5. I dont consider him washed up either.
