    Cotto and Spinks are pretty different.

    Well you have to agree that their level of opposition is very close.

    I'd say Spinks, who did clean up a great 175 division (beating 2 or 3 ATG's in that divison) and going up to heavyweight to beat a 48-0 world champ who is IMO a top 5 heavyweight of all time. He may have been on the slide, but he still went on to achieve quite a bit. If Cotto destroys Manny that will look good, but I think he also has to beat PBF to be on Spink's level (although its close).

    Yeh it is close, but when it is all said and done Mayweather has more names on that resume currently.

    More names doesn't necessarily mean better.

    Entire Career - Floyd.
    140 and 147 - Cotto.
    Basically Floyd's early work gives him the edge.
