    Technically he's not all that and beatable, but at featherweight his strength, speed and power are dangerous and he's a dangerous fighter at feather and super feather,

    above 126 and 130 he's extremely overrated, he'd get his ass beat badly by Williams, Whitaker & Duran and I can't see him being even competive with the elite of 147, who's the highest all time, ranked welterweight you'd give him a chance with.

    totally agree its the 'tommy hearns is the best light-middleweight of all time' even though he had only 5 lightmiddle fights.:lol:

    where as norris and mccallum sort of drifted to relative obscurity

    Nothing effective about hopping around the ring and flicking out weak jabs well out of range.The Laporte fight was just an embarrassing performance.

    yeah I agree with this

    and sean, Attell has a resume I have to rate, I don't rate greatness on h2h as much as resume, I rate ability on h2h though

    and I agree with Flea Man on Pacquiao's h2h ability, he's a monster if the style match up is favourable for him, if it's not, then he's not all that in the grand scheme of things h2h imo

    I don't think he all that either (I think he's overrated overall) but at 126 he's a dangerous fighter and I think his performance against Barrera shows this, he did totally dominate him.
     
  7. I'm inclined to believe that the Cotto performance was more impressive.

    I couldn't sleep afterwards, was absolutely stunned.

    Absolutely:yep

    I was there at the MGM running my usual pissed up know-all expert gob off to all in ear shot around me that this is a step too far & it's gonna be Cotto all day & all night & gave it plenty off winks & all knowing nodding of me head at the end of the 2nd round:yep

    Then BANG down goes Cotto:yikes spent next 9 rounds avoiding eye contact:oops::oops:
