    That Miguel's fearlessness is, IMO, directly related to where he stands on the earning scale.
    In many ways I see him like a modern Gatti (rip).

      Clottey, Margarito, Mosley>>>>>>>>>>Foreman, Mayorga, & Margarito. Same time frame.
      Were talking about Manny Pacquiao who was on top off boxing at the time. #1 P4P king and fighter of the decade Manny Pacquiao for that matter. Your talking about Cotto who wasn't on top of boxing and not even in top 10 P4P coming off of his second beating. Good comparison though.

        That doesnt really make any sense. If he is fearless, he is fearless.

        Sounds like you are trying to inject another, unrelated point/agenda about the sport.

          No, I am not. you are looking way to into my post. I disagree with "If he is fearless, he is fearless."

          There are a lot of fighters who will fight anybody but they don't always get the chance because of their ability to draw. Miguel gets the chance and it contributes to his reputation as fearless.

          Thats why I referenced Gatti. Guys like floyd and ODH will call on gatti, but Gatti can call on an Ivan robinson or a Mickey Ward. If you get my point.

            Why dont you just say it straight: you think he does it all for money and isnt fearless.

              Because thats not what I think. If I did, I'd post it.

              If you disagree with the points I made thats fine.

                      Way to skip the catch weight.

                      You're right about that. So Margarito beating Clottey way before should get more credit though right? Same with Martinez?
