Money May: I will dethrone the 154 lb. king

Cotto is the best 154champion out there so if floyd beats him he will be beating the best 154.

:hat

 

i know fmj will beat cotto via ud but i dont think hes the best@154..

 

Cotto the top dawg at 154 for the next 20 days. After 21 days, Floyd will be the new top dawg at 54.

 

Floyd is taking a fight against a known commodity that he knows people will watch. Against Ortiz, he was banking on the fact that that is the sort of fight that makes boxing fans. If you show someone that fight, they might be tempted to keep watching the sport. Ortiz looked great, so naturally if you feature him in a 24/7 it'll bring more eyes that way.

Cotto is NOT the 154 lb king, he's just the most well known. It's also a fight fans have wanted for a while. So regardless of his actual chances, people will watch. They'll know Cotto from the Pacquiao fight, they'll know him from the Margarito fights, and they'll buy the fight to finally get what they've waited 4-5 years for.

 

So who is then

:hat

 

OMF, you almost made me **** my pants

 

there isn't one because it's a muddled division without top fighters fighting each other. Cotto has fought Foreman for his debut, Mayorga(who loses to every good fighter he's faced), and Margarito who coincidentally couldn't hurt Miguel in the rematch, whether it was from bigger gloves, legit wraps, whatever. Cotto is the most well known, he's the commodity. That's it. He left the WW division and has been matched without much risk. I'm not hating on him at all, I'm just saying that he's not the top 154 lber.

 

that's the problem with pac and floyd fans they have so much bias and hate towards eachother that they cant come to terms say something that will give props to the other one.. if he agrees that cotto is the best then floyd would be beating the best and he cant come to terms with that... by his reasoning there isnt a top fighter in any division because they havent all fought eachother

:hat

 

Molina, Lara, P-Will, and Kirkland have better claims than Cotto IMHO.

 

Well, like I said. The Jr MWs haven't been fighting each other. So if you took a list of the top 10 and put them all up against Cotto, do you think he would beat all of them? He'd be fighting undersized against pretty much all of them. May-Cotto is essentially 2 WWs fighting above the class.

 

yea, ok. Put Cotto head to head against every top 10 Jr MW and tell me he could beat them all.:-(

 

It is for defining the king of that division. Just like Mayweather is king of 147. He would beat the Manny that's in the division. He would beat any top 10 ranked guy IMO. the top guy is concievably favored to beat any other top 10 guy and Cotto could not beat every top 10 guy. I think Alvarez stands a pretty good chance of beating Cotto with his size. I think Lara would be an issue for Cotto. There is no defined person. I get why people are sitting Cotto in number 1 because he's at least fought and he's looked good but for his competition? People **** all over Margarito when Pac fought him not only for the 150 catchweight but also because he never beat anyone at 154 of note. So why does Cotto get a pass? because it's a WW rematch that happens at 154?
