If he beat Collazo silly, why didnt he stick around and give him the rematch?
BTW I see you are right.

Here is Ricky beating Luis silly with his face.

BTW. I want to see Collazo come and try to get his belt back.
He wont last 12 rounds with Cotto.
The Cotto that fought just then has a chance to defeat every fighter at 147 and 154! haha
That Cotto was baaadd-*ssss, that night. 8)
I think Cotto is the most experienced young fighter in "fighting" right now.
Ehh, maybe one of the most. ;D
But when I say that, I mean he's been in a REAL FIGHT more than any titlist perhaps. I'm talking about a fight were either can win, a real fight, and Cotto took that pressure and won every time. One example was when Richardo Torres for a moment made that fight into "Who knows who's gonna win this now!" match. It is very difficult to be in a circumstance where one microsecond, your almost ready to face the canvas in front of millions... and you can live in those circumstances and fight intelligently in them. And during all this Cotto has his game face, with full compure. 8) Simply one in a million.

The BIG difference is that Tzyu was hit by Hatton and Quintana was hit by Cotto.Quote:

You can do better than that surely. Do you not have a picture of Eamon Magee thumping Hatton to the floor?
You dissapoint me.
It was a joke Lyle ;D
It's kind of irony that most people thought Collazo was a nobody before Hatton and after Hatton 'lost' suddenly Collazo is a master boxer ::**Quote:

Cotto did what Hatton failed to do against better opposition and with style.
Plus Cotto is only 5 ft 7 roughly the same size as Hatton, it was first fight at the weight and he won the title.
Billy Graham, said in defense of Hatton, 'Its unheard of for a fighter to move up a division and fight for and win a world title in their first fight at the new weight. Obviously he had never heard of Hopkins, Jones and overlooked Mayweather.........well now Cotto has joined them.
Cotto earns his spot in the to 10 p4p at the expense of Hatton.
I'd agree Cotto deserves the top 10 p4p position.Quote:

How exactly? Cotto shouldnt replace anyone on any pound for pound list. If he is on anyones list now he should have been on it to begin with. He looked good beating Quintana but is beating Quintana worthy of a leap up any list P4P or otherwise? I say no. Cotto proved what he has done so many times. He is too much for any second tier opponant. When he beats Margarito then we can talk P4P.Quote:
