    the Canelo win will probably get better with time as Canelo collects more names on his resume, same as Cotto is now an even better win for Floyd with his winning titles in 4 divisions

    I disagree with Hatton, he has good wins on his resume like Tszyu (albeit an ageing version), Corrales and Paulie, but in his 2 fights against the very best he was totally outclassed

    the Marquez wins are all good too, even if they were controversial

    What the hell are you talking about all was said was that Mayweather/Trouts win over Cotto looks better and compared his two most high profile fights. Mayweather didn't fight Martinez although if he fights Cotto next or Cotto-Alvarez happens and he fights the winner at say 158/9 How much credit would he receive the only reason Mayweather's name should even be brought up is a potential rematch. Honestly in a historical sense Mayweather-Cotto II for the Undisputed MW Title is better than a Mayweather-Martinez just based on the fact that ones features two HOFers maybe two ATG's and the other doesn't I root for Martinez over Cotto all day but Martinez was just a good dominate champ for his time Cotto is a HOF all time type fighter like it or not. Cotto would have been the best name on Martinez resume he's not on Mayweather's

    Head to head Mayweather started at SFW Cotto at JWW in the three common divisions Mayweather is more accomplished at WW/JMW and Cotto at JWW. In Mayweather's 4th division he beat the last two Undisputed Champs, and 3 top 3/4 rated reigning Champs so Cotto just beat the Undisputed MW Champ lets see what he does next I think Cotto ends up losing to Mayweather or Alvarez next if/when he beats Lara so let him have his moment for now

    I think Hatton was a good win, many don't but I think it was decent

    It's not as good as Floyd's win over Hatton but Hatton was the king of 140, never dropped, never beaten, just came off a ko win over Paulie.

    And the style he did it was phenomenal, just utterly destroyed him in 2.
