It's better than Cottos, it's not garbage and certainly isn't the best out there.....why isn't there some kind of middle ground? It's good but it could and should be so much better. He's going to have to make it a little better and fight some top WW if he really wants the great legacy he seems to think he already has. The choice is his but as a fan I'm not overly impressed with his choice of opposition and it's disappointing because he is a great boxer.

if floyd beats jmm and mosley, that should be enough.

mosley-de la hoya
judah-judah
corley-corley
sosa-sosa
quintana-bladomir
clottey-corrales
urkal-mitchel
mayweather took only four fighters with 0
cotto took six with 0 in their record
and also please tell me you are not thinking that having a 0 means anything? Maussa and Pinto do not remind me of murderer's row. I would take Mayweather's two serious undefeated fighters (Hatton and Chico) against the 5 Cotto had (Maussa, Pinto, Malignaggi, Torres and Quintana) anyday

Originally posted by hookoutofhell View Posti think its important to look not just at who he has faced but how well has he done, hoe he has performed and the way that he has dominated the rest of the opposotion. for alot of fans the resume is all about being able to log onto boxrec, scroll through the list and see how many names they can recognize.
that might be how the casual fans identify a good fighter but alot of hardcore boxing fans know that foyd is a damn good fighter.
his resume is very good, but what is even more impressive is how floyd has dominated virtually every fighter he has faced (in his weight class), with the exception of castillo but even then floyd showed what he is all about in the rematch
anyone cotto and Mosley can fight b and c level fighters who might have belts and look great and dominate
the two differences are
1. they would knock most of them out and
2. they choose to take on most challengers where Floyd picks fighters that suit his shoulder roll pot shot style
If a fighter is so dominant he will evetually hit his opponent so hard that he will KO them and floyd just cant
I know what the excuse is brittle hands blah blah blah
