    No he was beaten by a fighter who was not in my p4p rankings and so is no longer p4p in my opinion! people are basing there decision on popularity.
     
  2. Yeah, Cotto at least is willing to challange himself.

    He's a difficult one to rank, i think he is still one of the top 3 or4 most talented fighters

    He is probably the most complete active fighter as well, in the 1st 6 rounds against tony he was great, fantastic jab, handspeed and accuracy with his punches, lovely body attacks and putting his combos together

    However he was beat well by margarito however i really couldn't see anyone else beating him around 47, margo chin and workrate are unreal and no other welterweight i believe would have beat the cotto margo faced. Tony was just a terrible stylistic match up

    Taking all into account it would have cotto about 9 i think, he can come back and go a lot higher, he has the talent to

    Of course he would, but Hatton is a 140 pounder, not a 147 pounder, and this is a P4P list.

    Because 75% of the users on ESB are latinos. Has nothing to do with anything else.

    Kessler was ranked about 10 before meeting Calzaghe. Cotto was ranked about #6 before meeting Margarito.

    Kessler in these latinos eyes should be dropped to #14 or so while Cotto should (it seems) remains unscratched from loosing to someone who is far from top 10 and probably not top 20. How does that make sense that losing a closeish fight abroad to the p4p no. 2 should lower a fighters ranking while losing to a mucher lower ranked brawler does nothing?

    Only reason is: Kessler is not latino nor American.

    Cotto could probably loose the next 10 fights in a row and these guys will close their eyes and still come up with all kinds of excuses as to why he should still be no 5 p4p.

    i feel in a few years we all here will be saying cotto should have stayed at 140 (ie. judah) i can't see cotto beating williams, clottey, margo, cintron etc. just based on size.

    Wrong... it has to do with the fact that you and many others believe in that ****. Why do you care about the P4P ranking if in reality means nothing?
