    1 James toney
    2 Miguel cotto
    3 Floyd Mayweather jr
    4 Manny Pacquiao
    5 Ricky hatton

    What's harder? To be jt and jump all those high divisions? Or for pac to jump all those "low" weight classes? Also money has the best boxing resume and I'm a huge hatton fan. As well as cotto may be my favorite p4p fighter.

    I gotta say though, Everytime pac fought it was an "event" non stop memories. Whether at a house party running 3 TV's or at the bar with a bunch of buddies. What he did for the sport was special. It was/ is like the super bowl Everytime he fights. Whoever gets to be his opponent is equal to winning the sweepstakes aka hitting the jackpot win or loose. His ride to the top was climatic. I felt like he brought the viewers on for a ride.

    I used to be a huge Mike Tyson fan but he didn't do **** recently. Jt was more relevant.

    Hatton I just loved how he changed up the angles just to land or dig in better body shots. I felt ripped off when Floyd beat him, I was really rooting for hatton. I guess I'm a fan of that swarming style because I used to love watching baby bull diaz- aka. Mike Tyson without power.

    About 15 years ago, I told people that Mayweather is better than ali, 15 years later people are calling him the goat.

    Cotto, just for the checklist: bald head= me too. Tattoos= me too, big balls= me too. Mixture of culture s = me too. The peurto rocks have Spanish black and white in them. I have Chinese Mexican and white, so basically for personal reasons and the fact that he's a good fighter too.
