    I'm sorry but NO. Corrales has the Ws over Casamayor and Castillo. There's *nothing* on Bum-love-kin's resume that comes anywhere close..

    Corrales and Castillo didn't exactly turn the boxing world upside down either.

    Murray was the best 160 pounder in the world.

    The fact that Martin "The Destroyer" Murray is the best scalp on Bum-love-kin's resume speaks VOLUMES.

    Who in the hell is Martin Murray?

    Like I said, Corrales has Ws over Casamayor and Castillo. Bum-love-kin has done *nothing* even remotely close.

    I know that 160 lacks top level talent. But Murray was the best 160 pounder in the world.

    You must be one of those guys who thinks that Calzaghe's wins over Hopkins and Jones means he's better than them. Sometimes it does, sometimes it's a style match up, and sometimes it's just a matter of when you caught a fighter.

    Come on man, 16 title fights mean nothing considering the nature of the sport and all the ABC orgs today. Which one of Golovkins "title" defenses were held to the same prestige as Corrales or even Cotto himself?

    160 is arguably the weakest division in boxing. It's so weak in fact that it is ruled over by a *welterweight*.

    Parroting Martin Murray's name isn't helping your case at all. Murray is SHI'ITE...

    I agree that Murray is a weak top contender. But he was the top 160 pounder.

    Cotto hasn't fought at 160 before.

    Not even close. Canelo is nothing special, and Golovkin has done nothing of note.

    Cotto won't beat Golovkin, anyway (or even face him). But if he did, the aftermath chorus would be lead with cries of "overrated", "exposed", "never beat anyone", "hype job", etc, etc.

    Cotto is older, smaller, and has a much better resume than Golovkin. Exactly what argument could you make for Golovkin being better than Cotto if Cotto beats him decisively?

    Sorry my friend but Im not buying it. Cotto started his career at age 20 and has gone through 4 divisions. When Floyd was 20 he was still a feather weight. This means he's gone through 6 divisions. Pac was a flyweight at 20 meaning he has gone through 10 divisions. Cotto weight discrepancy during this time, 20lbs. Floyds, 28lbs. Pacs, 42lbs. Your theory doesnt hold up my man.
