How can you say that because who did Cotto beat at Welter other than Mosley and Judah who had both seen better days. He lost to Magarito albeit in suspicious circumstances and struggled to beat Clottey and he beat a few B-Level fighters (Quintana, Gomez, Jennings). So Cotto one of the best welters of the 00, no dont think so.
Dude so the hell what? So what if Hopkins had beaten nobodies and wasn't supposed to win. Does that change the fact that Tito wasn't a "great" fighter at middleweight? People were just simply wrong, Tito was overrated at middleweight and he didn't carry his power up with him. This isn't breaking news dude, I find it kinda frustrating that I'm arguing with you over this. Hopkins held every advantage in that fight....power, skill, speed, size, quickness, ring intelligence. How is it the best performance of the decade that he beat a man who "in reality" not "hindsight" he was supposed to beat?
Yeah a washed up Morales, a washed up De-La Hoya, Cotto had seen better days, two controversial fights against Marquez. His resume looks awesome when you think of it, does it ****, it doesnt look that good when you think about it . Who was Pacquiao fighting at the start of the 00s??, or yeah he was recovering from getting sparked in Sep 99.
Your childish bias comes to the fore as it inevitably would. Yes, Mayweather has a better resume than Pacquiao, Merry Christmas to you!! :dead
Its easy to say all of that now but it doesnt change the fact that Tito was considered the best fighter in the world by many at the time and was coming of one great performance after another and had just demolished Joppy in his last fight. Not only its one of the best performances of the decade its also one of the best performances of all time period.
You said I was biased to Hatton, now I am biased to Mayweather, make your mind up. I am just stating facts and Mayweather will back up these facts on March 13th.
How is Pac's peak with EM and JMM (2004-05???)) ???? That is stretching it by a wige margin. It is for EM and JMM but not for Pac. Pac NOW would beat those HoFers. Did you miss the last 3 years or something? You are overstating that achievement to clearly undercut Pac and overstating Floyd's win over Corrales. While Floyd's win over Corrales was impressive it was not totally shocking. Corrales was the favorite but the gap between them was no where near Pac vs MAB I when people did not even consider Pac a threat at all.
Ditch the Hopkins avatar please, you are doing the great man no credit with your shoddy biased posting.
What will we see? That you aren't a biased moron? Why, what's going to happen on that date, have you selected it from the calendar to make your first good post??
Fighter: Pac Fight: Cant decide. There has been some amazing trilogies and wars. KO: While Pacs KO of Hatton is more impressive, my favourite is Bute's body shot KO4 of Andrade. ****ing sick! Performance: Hopkins schooling Pavlik. Promotor: Dont really care.
Fighter : Manny Pacquiao Fight: Gatti - Ward 1 or Morales - Barrera 1 KO: ? Performance: Hopkins - Pavlik or Calzaghe-Lacy
