It isn't great either though..... His top 10 in order...... Tszyu Castillo - the manner of it puts it at #2 Tackie - ditto for #3 Phillips - would be higher but he was hurt in the 4th and VP was 39 Collazo - #5 because it was close Urango - could go higher depending on JU's future achievements Malignaggi - I knew Hatton would stop him, Paulie overrated Maussa - not great, splattered Harris though Magee - underrated ironchinned southpaw Krivalopov - took Tszyu the distance I believe
I think his record is pretty good. I prefer Cotto's though, and they fought in the same divisions at the same times.
Malignaggi is common. Inside the distance wins against Tszyu and Castillo are clearly superior to Judah and a contentious-ish points win over Mosley, imo. Have Quintana or Torres really done anything to be better wins than any of Tackie, Urango or Collazo? Hatton's loss was against a far superior fighter than Cotto's loss, in addition.
I think Cottos resume is overall just as good, its close, but Hatton has the best win being Tzsyu.. that was career defining win.. Something I think Cotto has yet to get.
-Paul Malignaggi -Juan Lazcano -Jose Luis Castillo -Juan Urango -Luis Collazo (at 147) -Carlos Maussa -Kostya Tszyu -Vince Phillips -Ben Tackie It's not bad, but it isn't so good. However, you won't see much difference if you compare it to Aaron Pryor's resume: -Antonio Cervantez -Gaetan Hart -Lennox Blackmore -Dujuan Johnson -Miguel Montilla -Alexis Arguello x2 (Arguello was a natural 130 fighter) -Sang Hyun Kim -Gary Hinton
I disagree. The Shane win is on the same level as the Tszyu win, and may actually be a bit better. Beating Judah is definately better than beating a shot Castillo Quintana has beat Williams and Julio. That's better than anything Tackie, Urango, or Collazo have ever done. Torres is about on the level of Urango.
Tszyu = Mosley Castillo < Judah Tackie > Malignaggi Phillips > Quintana Collazo > Torres I'd say...... Until last week I'd have ranked Tszyu ahead of Mosley, but with Mosley beating Margo, it enhances his standing at the time he fought Cotto - taking into account later achievements and all that. Judah > Castillo because Zab later was competitive with Clottey, whilst JLC has done nothing since..... Tackie had taken Tszyu the distance not too long before he faced Hatton and was comprehensively outboxed. Malignaggi put on his best display and was destroyed, but still.... Tackie the better win I'd say. Phillips > Quintana.... but not by much. This could change if Carlos gets a few more good wins. Stood Williams on his head, but was pulped in the rematch. Collazo is better than Torres, who is an overrated banger.
