    Wich would mean, with currently 1250 active MW's; 1250/2 = 625, and with not not counting himself of course that at least would be the # of the MW's that would beat him if that statement is actually true. :think

    So I would say that's a slight exaggeration.

    I do however believe that most of the currently top 15 MW's would beat him, and that like in some other divisions the current champion ≠ the best at the weight

    You're a smartass Robney but essentially that's what I was gonna post. :good

    Cotto would beat the large majority of MWs but (despite there being a lot of guesswork involved) I think he'd probably end up being somewhere at the mid-to-low top ten range if we saw regular competitive fights at the top end.

    Indeed. Where else? I've got pretty esoteric interests but naming yourself after a fictional character from a forgotten novel would be just weird if it hadn't also been a nom de guerre of one of the 20th centuries most lethal and influential figures.

    Now, however, you know too much. I have a special suite waiting for you at the Lubyanka.

    Love your name Comrade:good, I'm obsessed with the Bolsheviks and the Russian Revolution myself.

    I know where to find you, your dacha in Kuntsevo or maybe your summerhome in Sochi.

    Lavrenti is on his way to your house as we speak.

    Oh. If you're a reader you've probably already caught 'court of the red Tsar', but for fiction Thomas Harrises 'Archangel' (in parts) and 'The Holy Thief' by William Ryan (apparently there's more in the series but I ain't read them yet) are fantastic at evoking the feel of the time.

    Isn't he too busy diddling little kids?
    I'm a Trotskyite even more reason to take me to a gulag.

    cotto himself knows he would lose to the top middleweights which is embarrassing because the middleweight division is pretty weak with the exception of ggg.

    You're in big trouble bud... Beria's gonna be knocking any second.

    Funny thing is I was brought up to despise the Trots, though I even questioned that at the time - now it seems that Stalins takeover (and it's consequences) did so much damage it's gonna be hard to repair.

    Still, we work with we've got. I'm more an inactivist that an activist these days - just ask my kids - but still.:good

    Beria was a diddler or at the very least a ****** by all accounts. I'm sorry if you misjudged my tone however. Supposed to be a joke.

    I'm more of a political junkie, made it a point to understand every intricacy and difference between every branch of Soviet Marxism and its breakaway variants in Italy and Germany, and I love reading personal history of all the different Bolsheviks, I've always been intrigued by the triangle between Lenin, Krupskaya, and Armand. I wish I could have lived in the time but I'm sure I'd regret it if I did, too much of a radical, Stalin wouldn't have approved. But the older I get the less activist I get, like you.

    Yeah I knew it was a joke:D no offense taken. I don't care.

    i dont imagine Cotto getting caught with the same sort of punches Lee did, Cotto's has a lot better defense than Lee.

    S'all good.:good Fascinated with the whole political situation as well, but my interests lie more towards the military matters, esp the Civil war and the GPW, I'm also something of a Germanophile also, but it's hard to extricate the political from the military (as may have been mentioned in the past:roll:) when looking at 20th C Euro statemongering.

    Anyways BTB(oxing).
