    These were great competitor and boxers at 130, but they were not elite fighters, non of them...they were good , very good but not elite, and you only make your journey to ATG status thru elite fighters..sure you will need he really good ones also, buy the orad is paved thru elite fighters and beating and sometimes by just having great fights, and not necesarly on the outcome, but a great figh among elitist fighters...and IMO PBF is there but marginally and need to assert himself to cement that legacy

    I think the era he fought in at 130 was a very good one , true they wernt elite , but Ithink it would take a ATG to come out on top of that pile without a defeat and beat them all .

    I totally agree. Cotto is much greater task than both DLH and Hatton combined. This would be a true challange. I'm putting my money on Cotto.

    That's right your can't defend your irrational pick. I and others told you PBF would beat Hatton but your stubborn ass wouldn't listen.:-(

    My reason for choosing Hatton, Baldomir or even ODLH over PBF are far beyond your comprehension...I hae stated my reasons...go find them ...read them...and come back....

    But no PBF is not a top 25 ATG, at this point he is a solid top 50 to 75 ATG.....not bad but he needs Cotto to clear all doubts

    Let me be honest with you, Mayweather doesn't need Cotto at all. Cotto is NOTHING, skill-wise and everything else. What has Cotto done?, the only major victory on his resume is Shane and many thought he lost that. You hype this guy up like he's some insane machine, put him in there with a decent puncher and a replay of the Torres fight(a man fighting in short notice and first time out of his country) will happen, hell even worse might happen. If fighting and crushing bums is impressive to you then that you're own personal opinion and no one gives a ****. Cotto would get decisioned so bad that midway through the fight you'll have over 10 different fighters you want Mayweather to beat so he would enter "ATG Status" in your meaningless worthless unprofessional(and never will be) book. Stick to drum-rolling please. :good

    Scar, glad you came out of your hole...to critizes Cotto merit, you hatred and hugging agenda is clear...

    If you think that Cotto is a chump will bring nothing to the table , then why Cotto was the first name Maywether mentioned on the interview....it is a fact they need each other...Now if the great SCAR says it aint so...by all means...then it is a fact...

    Chump go back to your hole....:hi:
