    Aunque el mundo en general parece pensar que Floyd Mayweather, Jr. es el mejor boxeador ‘libra por libra’ de la actualidad, hay una figura de alto relieve que no piensa igual.
    “Para mí, sin lugar a dudas, Miguel Cotto es el mejor peleador del mundo en estos momentos”, dijo ayer el legendario entrenador y manejador Emanuel Steward.
    “¿Qué debe estar por encima de Mayweather? Claro que sí”, continuó, desde su residencia en Detroit, el fundador del igualmente legendario gimnasio Kronk, de la llamada ‘ciudad motorizada’.

    ‘‘Mayweather también ha peleado en esos pesos, pero no con los mejores”.
    Emanuel Steward
    “Admito que soy un fanático suyo y que he visto muchas de sus peleas”, dijo Steward, miembro del Salón de la Fama del Boxeo Internacional y comentarista de HBO, entre otras cosas.
    “Pero lo que más me gusta de él es que ha peleado con todo el mundo: cuando era campeón junior welter, peleó con los mejores junior welters del momento, y ahora, como campeón welter, ha peleado también con los mejores de ese peso”, continuó.
    “Mayweather también ha peleado en esos pesos, pero no con los mejores”, dijo. “Nunca quiso pelear con Shane Mosley, por ejemplo, mientras que, en las 147 libras, Miguel ya le ha ganado a Mosley y a Zab Judah”.
    “Y en las 140”, continuó disertando, “le ganó a Paul Malignaggi, quien es un excelente boxeador y es campeón mundial hoy en día... a Ricardo Torres, que también es campeón”.

    : I consider Miguel Cotto the best p4p fighter, witrhout a doubt. When Cotto was at 140, he fought the best...Mayweather was there too, but didn't fight the best. He never wanted to fight Mosley. Miguel at 147 beat Mosley and Judah...at 140 he fought Malignaggi, who's an excellent boxer and current world Champion...Ricardo Torres who is also a current world Champ.:yep

    Come on Floyd boys...let's hear it.

    yup but he not ...

    He didn't fight floyd at 140 because he was not ready .. so how can that make him p4p??

    beside stewart is kissing allot of Arum ass lately, its funny that he does not put his own fighter in the mix.

    How can he be the P4p best? Arum turned him Floyd down. And Hatton stated he wasn't ready for Floyd yet.


    Cotto is not the #1 P4P fighter.

    Manny hates Floyd, so no surprise there.

    I agree - Manny tends to down play whatever Mayweather does.

    He doesn't call him a Great Fighter - becuase he doesn't throw a lot of combination - so Manny considers him a Very Good Fighter. But when asked who's better than Mayweather at this point right now - he has no answer.

    Manny is a Great Trainer and entitled to his opinion - but nothing he says is written in stone. If it was - Taylor would still be Undefeated.

    the question was, wasn't margo more proven?

    also didn't he offer more money?

    Floyd was the one claiming that he didn't want Cotto because he was too green...now he won't even mention Cotto's name without clinching his ass cheeks.

    He offered a WBogus Title and No PPV revenue compared to Baldomir 8 Mil + PPV Rev.



    to Young.

    He did call Cotto too green after he was turned down.

    I'm not the one who compared Gianluca Branco to Floyd Mayweather.

    Cotto doesn't deserve to be called the best pound for pound fighter in the world, but he deserves to be top 4 or 5.

    9 times. But he hadn't lost in 8 years and 19 fights unlike Margo who lost to Santos.

    Not even close, he's got great power, nice pressure, but skillz wise, still has a way to go. Put him in with DLH or Floyd, he gets embarrassed
