    I hear you.....and I feel what your saying. I don't support his choices all the time but then again I'm not the one fighting in the ring. If PBF can manipulate boxing fans, media and well known organizations into co-signing his #1 status at WW then more power to him. Obviously we all have eyes and can see the skill set this man possesses; he has accomplished much and fought many all while staying undefeated in the process. I can't argue his seat amoungst the other champs but I can argue his status at WW....Cotto's win over Mosely should be worth more than any win PBF has at WW and that's the simple truth no one can deny that and if they do then so be it.....it has no legitimacy in my book. While I still lean towards PBF in a battle vs Cotto I will support Cotto and I will wish PBF good health as well since he has been one of favorite fighters in recent history. Strange that I'm a fan of both....but it is what it is.:yep ....though I do have a soft spot for Cotto being that we share the same culture.

    It just means Cotto knows two languages and knows where the money is at.....so he has one up on Floyd, and two up on Floyds pops and Uncle Roger as he can speak both English and Spanish while Floyds relatives lack the ability to speak English and maybe a little spanish. ;) :lol:

    Reg are u missing Philly so much that you still pee in the bed thinking about them?;)

    For excitement, I pick Pavlik. Three dramatic KO's. For most talented fighter, Mayweather. I dont include Cotto as even the third best fighter of the year.

    blah blah blah.

    A 36 year old Shane is more dangerous than any Frauds opponant in years.

    :patsch


    Shane is done. He's been done.


    Only reason he put up a good fight against Cotto is because Cotto sucks ass not because Shane is still good.

    Still want me to show you were you made ridiculous posts Eze?:patsch

    It's funny how you probably think you're so knowledgeable yet will say Cotto sucks. I'd say "GOODBYE CRED", but you didn't have any to begin with.

    Name a credible opponent Cotto has beaten..


    Judah.. Judahs done, hasen't won in two years and doesn't fight for 12 rounds. Perfect set up for Cotto


    Shane? 36 years old.


    Oh I know, Malignaggi! The p4p best.. Cotto beat him, so he must be great!

    Lance, did you say, Floyd fighting Hatton was fine? But he should of fought someone else or you wanted him to fight Hatton?

    I say Pavlik.
    Mayweather is close, victory over Hatton is good but Hatton was highly overrated.
    Cotto just beat a washed up Judah and an old Mosely.

    Cotto deserves to be fighter of the year. no one fought the level of competition he faced.
    Urkal ranked #10 in the Ring ratings at WW
    Judah ranked #5 in the Ring ratings
    Mosley is ranked #3

    who else fought competition this tough during the year???? NO ONE!!!

    Pavlik fought Zertuche who is not even in the top 10 maybe top 20...
    Miranda who was way overrated and i dont know where he was ranked maybe top 3
    Taylor who was the champ. Only credible opponent he fought.

    Mayweather didnt even fight anyone in his weight class so when people say he is the best WW its hard to agree when he hasnt faced a WW this year.

    ITs clear Cotto is the Fighter of the year.
