    No bad list..and BTW, I never included Tito on any top 100 ATG list I ever made....and It pissed me off when people make that stupid comment...cause my love for My Country will not skewed my understanding of the greats ATG's..that goes for Tito and Cotto is not even there yet...as of Benitez he should be on your nect 10 as well as Bob Foster, where's Aaron Pryor or Sweat Pea, Pascual Perez, Tony Zale...Berney Ross, McClarrien....Carlos Ortiz....those are the things always **** me off when someone claims to know and ATG list without knowing all the subjects...or having the knowledge to sorted out....

    I am not saying he isn't, all I am saying that at this point he is solid top 100 ATG...that's it maybe top 75 ATG at best

    Scar, how can you call the fighters that Cotto fought as a welterweight tomato cans, but yet acknowledge floyd's fights as if they are more impressive. the FACTS are that Cotto's best victories at 140 and 147 are much more impressive that FLoyd's at 140 and 147.

    People cant sit here and say that FLoyd will destroy Cotto b/c of the Hatton fight. Hatton is a very limited offensive fighter. Cotto is multi-dimensional. The time is now for Cotto. He does not need to fight Williams, Kermit, or Margarito. He deserves to fight Floyd more than DLH, Hatton, Zab, and Baldomir deserved. DLH had lost quite a few fights prior to their fight. Zab Judah had lost to terrible journeyman. Baldomir was just a terrible fighter. Hatton is just another overrated english fighter.

    I'd put Mayweather above Gomez, Hopkins, Napoles, Sanchez, Arguello and Marciano.

    I'd also put Canzoneri above Floyd.

    Floyd would be Top30 in my list. If he beats Cotto, Top15.
