    Camacho was a badass, and I loved his flair and showmanship, and unlike Cotto he never got stopped .:deal

    This all coming from someone who recently tried to pump up Richard Williams and Adrian Stone as "good wins" for Sergio Martinez.

    Not hate necessarily, scrutinizing a potential HOF is fair IMO.

    Marquez win over Pacquaio and Barrera are wayy better than any of Cottos wins,And yea Cotto did better against Mayweather than Marquez but Marquez was coming up 2 weight divisions and in another note Marquez didn't get KTFO like Cotto did against Pacquiao.

    Marquez's wins over Pacquiao and Barrera were faded versions.

    You don't hear Cotto fans going OMG he beat Mosley because we recognize the stage of Mosley's career.

    JMM is ATG and I rate him higher than Cotto but he's not THAT much greater than Cotto.

    JMM is the most overrated fighter on these boards.

    He lost to Chris John and that hurts.

    He is a Quitter. Don't care about him or his catchweight fights.

    Marquez John was a hard fight to score. Could have gone either way.

    Bottom line is Marquez didn't do enough to beat chris freaking John.

    If Cotto lost to Chris John caliber fighter at his peak you guys would be eviscerating him.
