    **** yeah he's overrated. The guy has never won a title that wasn't vacant. He's a really flawed and fighter but yet his fans think he's the second coming of Duran. Losing to a limited guiy like Margo is another example.

    No. he has some flaws, So does 110% of ALL people.
    His in-ring mentality has changed a bit post Margarito I'll admit....
    (But still better than most)

    No, there is a lot of talk now about the Clottey fight being a robbery and most picking Pacquiao to beat him which they would never have done a year ago. If anything he is becoming slightly underrated but he was overrated. He definitely doesn't seem to be the same since the Margarito fight though which is worrying. I don't see him beating Pac, Mosley or Mayweather but possibly Margarito now he has had that beat down by the hands of Shane.

    Complete definition of a strawman argument...

    Make up some bull**** that no one even said, just to shoot it down.

    And anytime you call someone's favorite fighter into question, they always take the ***** move and bring up Floyd and his fans.

    Besides... Who the **** was talking about Floyd?

    No **** PBF haters always manage to bring up PBF in topics that have absolutely nothing to do with him.

    There is no doubt that he is a different fighter. Seems like the Margarito fight has damaged his mental state. He now fights backwards. The old cotto use to go the body more often and was a lot more aggressive.

    I always thought he was overrated. All his titles have been won while vacant. His resume is jammed packed with prospects and B level fighters.

    His three biggest fights go like this:

    Contreversial- Mosley
    KO-Margarito
    Contreversial-Clottey

    I don't think so, although clearly he is a flawed fighter.
