Well of course he beats Moselys place. Mosely should not be in top 30 never mind 4. Was Cotto impressive? Nope.

Apparently the good sh*t! If you don't have Mosley in your top 30, you don't watch boxing.

You don't have Cotto in your top 10?
I'd be interested to see your top 10:-\

That sounds like a little bit of sore grapes from you, because he beat the guy you predicted would win. I mean what do you expect ? i think we all knew Miguel Cotto wasn't going to be in for an easy ride.
He won a very close decision as most people expected it would be close. I mean Shane Mosley's victory over the cheater Antonio Margarito, isn't that special now we know what Antonio Margarito is.
And Miguel Cotto has a victory over Shane Mosley, aswell as a better resume than Shane Mosley in the last few years. So he does deserve to replace Shane Mosley.
Miguel Cotto had a cut eye very earlier on and he could of took advantage of that, by quitting the fight and going to the scorecards. Which he would of won.
But instead he fought on with a very bad cut and gutted out a win, over a very tough opponent i'd say that is an impressive victory.
Not a bit of sourgraping... It's my honest opinion and most people here stated the same opinion...;)
Yes I pick Clottey to win even if he was a heavy underdog... Honestly, I'm more satisfied with Clottey's performance... He made it a very tough fight for Cotto and many people had Clottey the winner in their scorecards... IMO Clottey "soften" Cotto more...
I have no problems with Cotto winning officially... It's a close fight that could go either way but I felt Clottey won... There's no shame with my pick since Clottey gave a hell of a fight... Not like some boxers who goes to the fight acting like a total dumbsh!t and ended up laid out flat on the canvass... That's one case where you felt ashamed and dumb for picking such boxers...

You're more than welcome to check it, its on the first page of the P4P thread. I currently have him at 14, no higher because I felt he lost last night & there are fighters whose skill levels I rate higher than him & others whose performances have impressed me more over the past year
Re: Where do you see Cotto now in P4P list?
I still have Cotto in #5. But one more brilliant performance fight by PWill before Nov 14 might change that.

Who does Cotto have on his resume thats better than Mosley has ICB?
Mosley had Vargas, Mayorga, Collazo, Margarito, Cotto.
Cotto had Urkal, Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Clottey ... it really isn't that much more impressive.
Hi Taeth , IMO the important here is that they all that you been mentioning was a Great Champions.................:cool:
Though , except Mosley still as a Champion yet..............

It's OK being KO'ed cold as long as you're fighting smart... KO'ed cold is one possible outcome of a boxing fight... Fighting dumb is unacceptable, I'll feel bad if the boxer I'm supporting is fighting dumb...

I'm not sure what you are trying to say there, but both Mosley and Cotto have had great competition of late, I don't see the point in trying to compare who has foughten whom because they both have foughten top notch guys lately, and both have for the majority looked good against that tough opposition. I just thought Cotto would use his superior power to make a large impression against CLottey, but his defense wasn't as good as I thought it would be, and I honestly think if Clottey had thrown more he would have won, but it just doesn't make sense to me because when COtto backed up him up, Miguel was so effective, like when he fought Mosely, but once again he doesn't fold mentally, but he gives up on pressure when he can't put a guy away, and I don't understand it. Cotto is so effective when he stands his ground, and he doesn't quite have the defensive skills or mobility to move properly against elite pressure fighters.

I really agree in this , what you been saying , but that kind of cut couldnt let him to take the risk to stand his ground , certainly i thought that when he began , he would going fight with that strategy , but had to change to another plan with lateral movement , but i agree in someway , he needs to improve little more his defensive with that kind of fighters..........
Re: Where do you see Cotto now in P4P list?
I was one of those people that expected Cotto to win but in a better scenario. First of all, this opponent hurt him with a head butt and he fought on. I expected Cotto to box circles around him but he bled profusely and Clottey, I take nothing away from him made it an ugly fight and he was physical. Cotto landed the more telling punches and stole a round with a left hook. In the mythical P4P which doesn't mean a thing, you have a fighter that came back from a terrible defeat, possibly because of those illegally wrapped hands. He swallowed the blood and hung in there because when adversity strikes, the best or the worst comes out of you and guess what, I am a Mosley fan and Mosley started at a lower weight to get championships in higher divisions facing bigger men than him had the misfortune of meeting a fighter with a will to win just like him. I take away credit from neither of these warriors.
Re: Where do you see Cotto now in P4P list?
I think he should be just ahead of Shane. Coot is still unbetaen imo ;)
