    Stevenson has clearly beat more top guys in his weight than Cotto has at 160. And I think most of us are in agreement that GGG would beat Cotto hands down. Martinez was dealing with injuries and age, and I felt he was ducking GGG as well.

    The only reason why Cotto has the Lineal title, is because Martinez didn't fight GGG like he should have. GGG is the rightful Champion of the 160 pound division as far as I am concerned. Sanctioning bodies be damned.

    Neither. They both followed the rules. Both are as deserving as any lineal champ.

    Cotto, as much as I hate Stevenson... Still a legit h2h force at his weight class, unlike Cotto.

    Martinez had strung together signature wins over both Chavez Jr and Martin Murray, 2 of the top 5 MWs in the world when they fought.

    Dawson was blasted out by a non puncher in Ward in his previous fight, and has shown since that he can't even beat journeymen like Karpency.

    While Superbiitch has some decent quality wins over Bellew and Cloud since becoming champ, which is more than Cotto has even thought about, he's also had a contract to fight Kovalev and DUCKED it.

    Whereas at least Cotto isnt hiding behind a promoter for the expres purpose of ducking and admits he'll toss the belt in the bin before getting starched by GGG.

    Superbiitch continues to lie to himself that he's something he's not.:hi:

    I voted equal since neither are legitimate champions.:nono

    How are they not legitimate champions when they beat the reigning champions?

    Depends. If Cotto ducks GGG then he's the pick.
