    They aren't even the best at their respective weight classes!

    Neither is top 10 in my eyes.

    first time i've heard someone try to use "p4P" and "fact" to prove a point...but you might want to try explaining why you think this.

    if you're not willing to back up what you want to say and put yourself on the line then you're only going to come across as unobjective.

    It's amazing how people are so soon to shove their heads back up Cotto's ass. A few months ago the Tijuana Windmill beat his head off and showed that he was a vulnerable fighter. You can point to the hand-wrap fiasco as an excuse for that loss, but there's no real evidence for it, and Cotto was getting pounded on with or without plaster. Yet Pavlik loses to B-Hop and suddenly he's a bloated-up tomoto-can. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of the double standards on here. Remember, Cotto only scraped past Mosley, and that was the pre-re-invigoration Mosley. Cotto still has a lot to prove, and I wouldn't let him in range of the top 5 until he does.

    good post.
    people are too quick to praise and critisie far too often but a lot of it has to do with childish fan preferences.

    if some people stop trying to get imaginary rep points over others because "my boi beat your boi" then the board would be a better place.

    Pavlik ain't no tomato can...
    he took a calculated risk in fighting the bigger B-Hop and came unstuck.
    No big deal - at his own weight, he's still a force to be reckoned with, and still in the world's current top 10 p4p IMO.
    Cotto beat Mosley - end of story.
    Margarito - another cheat - beat cotto, it's true.
    But the suspicion will always be there that he could have had a 'horseshoe' in his glove that night, and to my mind, the 'L' on Cotto's record should be altered to 'ND.'

    I'm working on the assumption Floyd's no longer active.

    P4P - JMM, Pacquiao and Hopkins for starters.

    Ricky Hatton edges Cotto H2H and P4P IMO as well.

    Do me a favour!:rofl
    The Hitman don't move up in weight no more - it's too dangerous for him at this stage of his career.
    He struggled once against a man who can't break the skin on custard, no way would he go in against a man naturally 8lbs heavier than him, (and hits like it, too!)NO F***IN' WAY!:nono
