Done trashing Margarito's career; let's reevaluate Cotto's

The only way I'd want a rematch with Pacquiao is if Pacquiao loses to Floyd. Or, like I said, if Pacquiao is proven to be on the juice in the future (not saying he is, so relax. Just hypothetically speaking).

I wouldn't even put him infront of Winky Wright who I would argue isn't a future HOF'er.
I wouldn't put him above Shane either, no way.
Let alone the ATG's of the last decade like Mayweather, Pacquaio, Hopkins, Morales, Barrera, Marquez etc.

In terms of skills he's pretty much always been the same.
So any infighting or be able to handle pressure (from a legit opponent) he's just never going to attain.
I'm suprised a lot of people would like to see Cotto rematch Pacquaio. That's a fight I definitely don't want to see again.
The outcome will be the same.

When I did my top 10 fighters of the decade in 2010, I believe it went something like:
1. Mayweather
2. Pacquiao
3. Hopkins
4. Barrera
5. Marquez
6. Cotto
7. Calzaghe
8. Wright
9. Mosley
10. Wladimir Klitschko
Now that's just based on what these guys did from 2000 to 2009. Now that one of Cotto's losses is basically null and void, he's only lost to the guy I rated 2nd in fighter of the decade. Career-wise, I think he's accomplished more than Calzaghe, Wright and Wlad. You don't have to agree though.
