If Cotto beats Pacquiao does he ranked above Mayweather?

[CHOWWOKKA]

Pretty laughable assertion.

Cotto, Castillo & Corrales all have about comparably even resumes as it stands right now.

It can be argued that both Castillo & Corrales have greater resumes than Cotto. There's nobody on Cotto's resume outside of Mosley, that are even close to being as good as either Castillo or Corrales.




That's a damn good question.

10 years into his career, and in his 3rd weight class. He still to this day hasn't beaten a divisional lineal champion or a fighter that was regarded as #1 in their division. Floyd's done it 4 times. Both Castillo & Corrales have done it at least once. Cotto... we're still waiting for him to beat just a top 5 rated fighter at Junior Middleweight.

Cotto never even beat a top 5 ranked fighter @ Junior Welterweight

Boom Headshot!

[acidity]

My goodness. Corrales and Castillo ALONE. Especially the fashion in which beat beat Chico. Cotto, as much as I love him, has never beaten an elite fighter like that.

Floyd's WW resume is underrated too. You're just completely dismissing Floyd's career for no apparent reason.

How did chico become an elite fighter???

You didn't say; "Mosley at Lightweight is one of the best I have ever seen" ?

You didn't say that in your post?

yeah one of the best. He was devastating. The arguement is ****e..Youcant win against *****'s or *******s. Im f***ing sick of this site. No one can top Floyd or Manny ever.. Floyd has ducked many a boxer ans Manny has weight drained a few. THATS FACTS RIGHT THERE. but no doubt a ***** or ******* will make a fact up that says otherwise. Cotto hasnt duckedanyone so far although even being a Cotto fan i will say he has distanced himself from a fight with Martinez.. *****'sand *******s are actually wasting the sport i love.

Well, no not really.

Mike Tyson cleaned out his Divison.

Holyfield might disagree with you.

[acidity]

If cotto beats pacquiao, floyd would be ranked number 1. Cotto could be pushed up to number 2 or 3. IMO

[Doctor_Tenma]

Holyfield might disagree with you.

Didn't you say 80s?

Should Cotto re-match Pacquiao and win, he would rank above Mayweather in the top fighters of his generation.

Cotto would have beating every fighter he has ever faced and he would have faced a higher standards of than Mayweather. Cotto may have lost two fights but those fights would be avenged

Apart from Mosley, who was in much better condition when he fought Cotto, Miguel has done better against common opponents as well.

Miguel has never avoided any challenge, doesn't take vacations and always willing to test himself.

Should Cotto win the rematch, if it happens, will Miguel Cotto rank higher than Floyd Mayweather in the top fighters of his generations


Poll coming

This is the same ole peasant 3rd world math that continues on these boards.

Mayweather is rated above Pacquiao.

That is a FACT.

The only top 3 fighter that Pacquiao has fought in 5 years is Juan Manuel Marquez. That too is a FACT.

So how does a guy who has not faced a top 3 fighter outside of Marquez even get a #3 ranking?

Considering that none of the men that Pacquiao has fought since 2008 excluding Marquez have been ranked than 4th!

Cotto could kill Pacquiao in the ring and his rank should be no higher than 4th.

You get what you deserve, and one only deserves to be the man by beating the man.

Say what you want about Floyd but the man fights the #1 & #2 contenders.

Pacquiao absolutely does not. The men he fights were at one time top contenders, but NEVER has any man aside from Marquez been at the top when Manny faces them in the last 5 years.

Now if you rank boxers according to how much you like them or how much they look like your uncle, then that's a different story.

But I'm assuming that we are talking about who fights the highest ranked fighters and who fights in catchweights to seem like they are taking on tougher challenges than they really are.

So now you're back to saying he is one of the best?

When I just questioned you're post about him being 'one of the best' you replied with "I said BEAST not best'. So which one is it?

Are you saying he's a beast or he's the best?

What the **** are you rambling on about? I have barely even mentioned Mayweather or Pacquaio in this thread?

But I have talked plenty about Jose Luis Castillo.

I guess that makes me a '*****' or a '*******'


Shane Mosley was devastating because he literally fought bums at Lightweight. Would you like to breakdown why Shane Mosley is one of the best Lightweight's? Please, show me the greatnesss.

You talk about people wasting the 'sport you love' then in the same breath disrespect the sport by having the audacity to call Shane Mosley one of the best Lightweight's ever.

You know what I hate? Sheer ****ing ignorance.

We have a buffoons polluting this thread with such ****ing ignorance and ******ity and have the guile to say Shane Mosley was one of the best fighters of all time in one of the most historically deep divisons of all time.

Simply put; Anyone who has there's ******, ignorant opinion needs to;

1. Study the History of the sport
2. Has no right to down talk to any other Boxing fan.

Your not following the call of the question

And Floyd is an all time great? Based on what...his loud mouth tendencies? Surely it wouldn't be his resume.

He's beaten two HoF fighters, one more than Cotto. And one of them was required to jump two weight classes. The other one he beat, Cotto beat a better version than him. But he did get a lineal title off of Baldomir once

What 2 HOF'ers did Floyd beat and what HOF'er did Cotto beat?

In the blue are you insinuating JMM? So Floyd got JMM as a HOF'er and who else? And, who does Cotto have?
