Thread: Did Cotto get shafted?

RING Ratings Update: Does Mayweather deserve his RING rankings?

I don't want this to turn into a "hatefest." I just want to know what people think. Does Floyd really pass Cotto in the welterweight rankings for beating Marquez? I personally think, in the weightclass, Cotto has done more and should be ranked ahead of Floyd.

no

No. It seems activity counts for nothing when you are flavour of the month.

Mayweather is a better fighter than Cotto, I think it should affect the p4p status of him for sure, but IMO divisional rankings should be based on competition, or else the p4p king would jump to the top of any new weightclass they entered, one thing however that I give Mayweather credit for is that he has been the linear welterweight champion before and Cotto hasn't. Mayweather undefeated as a welterweight, Cotto isn't.

Cotto got the shaft for sure in the divisional rankings, he has been more active at Welter... I bet my bottom dollar he dosent give a crap either, he shows up to fight and where the cards fall after that, so be it

I think everybody knows how I feel about the subject.

I think the same thing too. Cotto just fights.

We all know how you feel about Cotto's shaft LOL!

Cotto should be ahead of Floyd in the welterweight rankings. How they still have Plasterito still ranked is stupid.

Why do alot of Mayweather fans and Mayweather himself say "we all know he's better than this guy" or "we all know he'll beat this guy" but when Mosley or Margarito gets in his face, challenges him like a man he seems to avoid the confrontation?

Exactly how much of The Ring does Oscar and GPB own now ??Call me a skeptic.Its all becoming a name affair.Cotto has earned his spot with activity and recent opposition.Floyd should get in line.

both would be ideal. but winner of pac-cotto.

Not to change the subject but, Celestino Caballero P4P? I spent a while on here (well not that long) saying he was better than people were giving him credit for but P4P top ten? Nah.

Thing is if PAC beats Cotto, Mayweather is in another lose/lose situation in facing PAC. Either he loses to a smaller man OR he beats yet another smaller man. If he fights Mosley and he wins, he has beat an over the hill Mosley. The only fights that Mayweather gets credit for are Cotto IF he beats PAC or Paul Williams IF he can still make 147.
