    He's one of the few real boxers left in this sport.

    So he's in the top 20 greatest boxers of the last 23 years of the sport, but is also the most overrated fighter since then as well?

    Maybe you're overestimating how highly he is generally rated.

    Maybe. It depends on if you rate him above the likes of the Cotto level guys. Cotto beats everyone on Crawfords resume.

    Your right man because if Cotto didn't go through the top guys one after another & preserved himself like Crawford unwittingly did then it could have been a different story for him as well, the biggest issue was Crawford's low level competition around him in his time which hampered him.

    I lost all respect for Cotto after he jumped on the band wagon claiming Margarito used plaster against him, after the supposed Loaded gloves BS. He shook hands after the fight & accepted the defeat. I was at the fight, saw his hands taped too, I never saw anything amiss. Suddenly Cotto had an excuse,he thought, for his defeat.
    He still refused a rematch until he knew Margarito's eye was permanently damaged in the Pacquaio fight. If you remember Cotto's team demanded their doctor examine Margarito's eye supposedly to ensure he was fit to fight ROFL. Tony had to break training & fly across country to let the doctor examine him because the fight was already signed & sealed by then. Cotto's supposed excuse jumped up & bit him though didn't it, Quitto Cotto STILL got the heck beat out of him because he STILL couldn't beat a Margarito that only had one good eye from round 2 & was fading fast & ready to quit AGAIN!!!!! That is why that fight was stopped when Cotto slumped into his corner while Tony stood beating his chest yelling " C'mon lets fight". Fight was stopped to save Cotto the embarrassment of quitting AGAIN!!! & everyone in that arena KNEW that, From that day his name to me was Quitto Cotto. I know Tony was never going to quit.

    Quite ironic coming from a Flo mo. Then again, you probably think it's perfectly normal for a fighter to inform the NSAC of an ' Illegal home IV drip" three weeks AFTER the event took place. And for a guy who's always in shape to claim he needed 750 ML (Which is a LOT!) of saline for 'severe dehydration'. :lol:

    Hell, I would not be surprised if you believed Floyd actually NEVER hit any women in his life. Floyd fanatics aren't the sharpest knives in the kitchen that's for sure.
