    Who is the greatest "B" level fighter of all time?

    We know the type. Those fighters that weren't able to make it to the very top of the sport. The kind that practically lose every big fight they ever had against top tier P4P talent. Who do you think it is? My vote goes to Cotto. When he fought elite P4P talent in big fights (Pac) and (May), he lost. His biggest win came against Shane Mosley and that fight was close. Who do you think the best "B" level fighter is of all time?

            That's a very good choice. He's had some very good career wins and he has had close fights with good fighters. He was never seen as a potential "HOF" as a prospect but he was seen as a fighter who would give anyone hell. Orlando Salido reminds a lot of him minus the dirty **** Salido does.

              I can see both of these too but you have to ask yourself were these guys on the cusp of being elite or an "A" level fighter? Maybe Froch but I can't really see Gatti(RIP)

                cotto and froch are good choices for the modern era. They'll beat almost anybody other than the very best (and trout lol)

                  My heart says Gatti, and it's overruling my mind on this one.

                  Also, I wouldn't call Froch B-level. He's above that.

                    Cotto and Froch are not B level fighters. B level fighters are the likes of Broner, Swift, or alexander.
