    Foreman, Mayorga, Margarito, Mayweather Jr.

    To be honest I'm not impressed by his run at 154 and I don't think his standing as the previous #1 at 154 was justified nor are his offers for rematches with Pacquiao and Mayweather.

    From a financial stand point these might be worthwhile fights, but he will get beat up in the process. If he he still wants to show he is the best I'd like to see him rise up the ranks again and take on some hungry lions. If he is fighting for money take the rematches. If he comfortable with his legacy he can retire and probably get into the hall of fame.

    I love how now no one is impressed with foreman but before they fought foreman was Te undefeated boxer that was going to put the nail in cotto's coffin

    this is the same foreman that pac wanted no part of because they felt he was too big. cotto stops him...impressive. he was undefeated.

    cotto has paid his dues. he can fight whomever he chooses. i like his chances against anyone and i'm not upset if he chases the money. i thoroughly enjoyed the mayweather fight and would love to see that rematch in msg. i seriously doubt pac fights him at anything over 150 because he knows he has no chance against a well trained totally hydrated cotto.

    He has paid his dues. I would love to see him try to clean out the division. But at this point he is just looking for those last big paydays, he deserve it.

    :lol:

    thanks for the laugh.

    apparently u missed canelo get rocked and struggle with jose cotto who doesn't have half the skill or power miguel does.

    canelo needs to focus on getting by josesito who i believe has a great chance of beating him.

    Cotto's top ranking is based on his resume at 147, in a nut shell. His win over Foreman was good, but nothing to brag about.

    Nope I saw that fight years back, he has improved vastly since, and will spark Miguel Cotto, Alls Miguel has to do is ask for the fight...

    He is focused on Lopez but come on man he doesnt have a great chance of winning this fight, he is too small and gets hit too much.

    Canelo will stop lopez in 8 or 9 rounds crazy thing here I think Lopez would go longer with Canelo than Cotto would

    His run at 154 hasn't been very amazing, but I think his standing was based off of his 147 efforts.

    People talk about Shot Mosley, people talk about Jose Miguel Cotto blah blah blah what everybody ignores, Canelo knocked Baldimor the **** out face first coma toast!!!!
    Who else has done that? Forrest landed big big bombs and they seemed to just tickel Carlos, Floyd didnt even want to try to knock him out... Canelo destroyed his ass... you have Judah, Gatti, Mayweather, and Forrest all have tried, and Canelo was the only one

    that kind of power, he had Mosley wanting to quit in round six, not that its a surprise Shane wanted out of the Pacquiao fight as well... but it says something about this kids power

    canelo is still the same fighter but has improved his defense some. he still fights in spots. he still throws them wide ass shots u can see coming from the parking lot. he'll pay dearly when he tries to go to the body on cotto. he's not really a pressure fighter and doesn't really force a pace so i cannot see him giving cotto any problems. cotto is too smart a fighter for the pup and he also has too much left.

    baldomir was damn near 40 when that fight happened. dude fought like once a year for 2 or 3 yrs previous. it's not really a big deal either because baldomir has always been very easy to hit. dude blocks punches with his face.

    he made floyd look vulnerable. when was the last time someone made floyd look like shite? he had floyd in serious trouble in round 8. if it wasnt for 10 ounces, floyd would have been sprawled out on the canvas.
