    So yourr telling me every single one of the 45 were cherry picks lol. When he fights these guys everyone wants it canelo prime example. I had friends claiming he would defo duck him.. once he'd signed to fight it was 'it'l be easy anyways canelos slow' give the guy his probs, fought more world champs and current/future HOF's than most. How can that be overrated :S

    I'm not hating. After Floyd reached a certain level, he became extremely risk averse. Not all 45 fights obviously, but he went out of his way to protect his 0 after he gained status. He even admits to cherrypicking. It came directly from his mouth. Did you not watch his videos?

    Joe Calzaghe, Beat a whole bunch of nobodies and a hype job in Lacy. Add in a couple of 40+ Guys. Played it safe in Wales the whole time. Joe was happy fighting non threatning opponents his whole career. Good certainly.

    I'll see your Joe Calzaghe and raise you a Wladimir Klitschko. Two of the worse practitioners of boxing that the world has ever known.

    De La Hoya greatest win is edging Undefeated Ike Quartey

    Prime Ike Quartey Jab would have thumbed any Current Welter out of the ring except Thurman...His jab is possibly GOAT...It was a close win, but DLH was the only man to beat Prime Quartey

    Trinidad fight was nice, but his fear of a championship rds slugfest...cost him everything...Had he beat Tito by going all out he could have retired back then as a Top 25 ATG

    Failure to confront Tito aggressive push in the last 4 rds demoralized DLH...I suspect the Cocaine addiction started after the Tito loss...mainly cause he wished he could have went back in time and fought the last 4 rds in the same manner SRR would have done...

    wether u think he went out of his way to protect his so called 0, that doesnt mean hes overrated though :patsch:patsch

    how can the best boxer the last 20 years be overrated?? doesnt make any sense bro, like I said stop the hating. hes rated as he should be. p4p #1 and has been in the p4p converstation since he won his first title in 1998

    Cotto. The guy is a glorified gatekeeper yet everyone says he's a shoe-in for the HOF.

    Cotto only 2 Loses prior to facing Mayweather (his hardest fight in recent times):

    • Manny Pacquiao TKO12
    • Antonio Margarito TKO11

    Meaning he lost to the 2 fighters that sent Mayweather into Retirement...before Mayweather decisioned him in a spirited effort...indicative of class proximity...despite the gruelling wars Cotto was coming from

    Cotto had to deal with 2 aggressive non stop war machines over 23 rounds, prior to facing Mayweather...The same 2 monsters Mayweather ducked, so have some respect :mad:

    If Cotto beats Lineal Middleweight Martinez, he is more than just HOF :yep

    And he LOST hard! Cotto's best win is old man Mosley who proved Margarito was a bum. FACT!

    Well, Mayweather is back, #1P4P, #1PPV, 45-0. Why is Pacquiao #1 only when Floyd isn't around?
