Which Was a Better Win: Cotto over Mosley or Mayweather over De La Hoya?

I think the fact that PBF went up in weight to win is very impressive, but I think Shane although older than DLH is a more live body.

 

despite the stipulations in the odh pbf fight i still gave pbf a better chance in beating odh then cotto beating mosley, so for me id say cotto !

 

Shane was the better fighter at the time in my opinion, but I voted for Mayweather's win because he moved up to 154 after starting at 130. That's impressive, especially considering he did beat a good champion.

 

floyd.. cause he really like a light weight... i may be wrong but wouldnt that be like cotto fighting a super middle weight or something

 

Oscar satrted at 130 as well. Just a bit earlier.

Both were good wins for the respective victors, but both were sufficiently close that the outcomes might very well have been different if the two losers had been at prime.

 

Great 3rd choice in the poll.

I voted Floyd over Oscar. I just think, in time and with history, that win will be seen as bigger (plus all the other reasons stated above).

 

Cotto's win over Mosley.

 

Would most people agree that a prime Floyd has a better chance against a prime Oscar than a prime Cotto has against a prime Mosely?

 

Yes.

At 147, I would pick Oscar over Floyd by a slim margin at prime (52/53-48/47) . Fight could go either way.


At 140 or 147, Prime Mosley over prime Cotto, 75-25.

 

close, but at this stage mosley is a more dangerous opponent

 

True, but I think De La Hoya was more used to the weight and really more comfortable at 154 than Mayweather.

 

I agree.

However, Mayweather was not at 154, but 148 for their fight.

 

Eugenia Williams was right!

 

About what ?

The Lewis - Holy fight,
