    Why do you have Hamed in with an otherwise all contemporary group of fighters?

    Surprised to see that a lot of people seem to think Vazquez is the better fighter based on his two wins over Marquez but IMO Marquez should be rated higher than Izzy!

    Vasquez
    Marquez
    Hamed- Cotto hard to seperate these 2
    Hatton
    Calderon is the better fighter than Hatton but no power and no competition, He needs another top fighter to face.

    Who gives a **** about his power and Hatton hasn't really faced quality opposition either...and he lost twice already. Calderon is still undefeated.

    Cotto is clearly the better of the two. He's been in 2 divisions beaten far better names and fighters than Hamed and up until the possibly dirty loss to Margo, no one thought he'd lose to anyone. Hamed just stepped up from B/C level comp to the first true contender/elite and got embarassed BAD!

    for christ sake hamed was the lord of featherweights at one stage

    holding all 4 titles unofficially if the wba wasnt taken off from the guy he was fighting

    he was the undisputed champ, in fact the first man to hold all 4 titles in featherweight

    he has achieved more than hatton or cotto but his hate on these boards wont get him the recognition he deserves

    You're ranking Cotto and Calderon based on possible future achievements, ranking Hatton on the basis of fights he lost by KO and have a woeful lack of knowledge about Hamed's career. Laughable.
