    JLC was better.
    Chico was better.
    OLDH was better.
    Genaro Hernandez was better.
    Chavez was comparable.
    Carlos Hernandez was comparable.
    JMM is better p4p, but not at the weight.

    Crushing people with loaded gloves, which is why I don't hold that loss against a one dimensional, not particularly quick brawler like Margo against Cotto.

    Actually MAB is my favorite active fighter by far, I just liked Chico personally. Met him a few times.

    Go ahead and make a poll, let's see what the board thinks of your brilliant assumption.

    No cotto is not, Castillio and coralles where better skilled faced better opposition and accomplished more in their careers then did cotto..

    Nobody's comparing PBF and Pac, the question here is Cotto.

    All off topic. Now its down to skill. So DLH wasn't more skilled than cotto?

    Floyd fought two primed fighters that had a chance that's it why didn't he fight cotto? Why didn't he fight Margo ? Why didn't he fight Shane?

    Whether they had a chance against PBF or not is beside the point. The point is that they were all greater fighters than Cotto at the weight PBF fought them at, with the exception of JMM who can't fight a lick at 145.

    Buddy..just cause a majority in life favors a certain position, it doesn't necessarily mean it's what makes the most sense !! If you look throughout history, the majority opinions have done jack **** for humanity...

    I don't need 90% of the board to agree with me to realize that Cotto is a better boxer than Castillo and Corrales !!!

    It doesn't mean Chico and Castillo aren't good...it's just that Cotto is more talented overall !!

    A left hook that's it :) Oscar could have fought cotto the day he fought Floyd he didn't want the fight because of bob but he knows he wouldn't have won... Oscar was rich and old prime Oscar yes but not the Oscar Floyd faced no
