    A

    My favorite fight of his is against Zab Judah 'The atmosphere was amazing in that fight, I don't think I have seen a american crowd so immersed in a fight since then etc'.

      i wish i could see his little face when he reads that, but these rankings are pretty silly. margarito and broner are both B level? how is that possible? margarito beat an undefeated cotto and sergio martinez and has twice as many top 10 wins as broner. doesnt really add up so these grades are more like who do fanboys like more and most people seem to like paulie and he's still a C lol, that means his career really did suck mah balls


      And Marg had Floyd shook, so Floyd ducked him.

      Then Manny pulverized Marg.

        B or B-.

        It's a shame that Mr.Plaster ruined him.

          That crowd was crazy one of the best I ever seen.

              So Pauli Malignaggi is a C+ fighter and Miguel Cotto is a B fighter?

              Frank Bruno and Miguel Cotto the same level?

              Makes no sense.

                I'd vote A- if it was there

                B+ seems harsh but I wouldn't exactly say he was quite an A

                  Voted A I think he's closer to an A than a B+

                    Cotto was a fun fighter to watch.
                    He gets a strong B fighting at 140 pounds.
                    Miguel lost a bit moving up to welter.
                    And was one of the weakest fighters to be MW Champ.

                      This is a bit hard, rated him B+

                      I dont think he would have been as big in other eras. He had a weak jaw at 140, then as a welter he was undoubtly the best welter for a brief moment but imagine him 10 years earlier in the DLH, trinidad, mosley, forrest, vargas, quartey era. he wouldnt have been ranked nearly as high. In fact an older mosley held his own and some say won their fight.

                      he would do pretty well in todays era, spence would prob decision him in a well matched fight.
