With the recent retirement of Morales, Barrera, and now JMM along with Bradley, the only old blood and guts warriors left standing now is Pacquiao and Cotto. Hopefully they retire after their next fight. They both deserve to go out with their health still intact.
Cotto will retire after Heiland I'm sure. Kamegai was supposed to be his last fight but I'm hearing from people he's now also wanting to fight Heiland. It was the weakest era in boxing history, in hindsight. Only 3 Top 50 ATG's from that era: Pac, Floyd and Hopkins (whatever era he's from).
Wait….is this actually a real rumour? How can I defend Cotto from that beastly Serge character and his cronies calling him "The Gammy Knee Assassin" if he goes after Heiland now? Say it ain't so Miguel?
Pac=38, Cotto=36 Time to let the new stars shine. Rigo, Ward, and Gonzalez have had to live in the shadows long enough.

Don't you dare disrespect Donnie Nietes, Steve Cunningham, Arthur Abraham, and Orlando Salido like that ever again. James Toney, Roy Jones Jr, and Guillermo Jones also would like an apology. Crazy to think Adonis Stevenson is older than Pac.
LOL There's only one guy you can make a case for being king of the 2010's and for some reason he doesn't seem to even be on your list. Hatred and denial are each powerful. Together, they are unhealthy.
