Margarito now #6....

You see guys this is the problem of the myth rating. No argument that can satisfy everybody. It's too vague. In boxing risk is everything. Sometimes we are not convince when somebody who is not rated beat a p4p rated fighter. We sometimes look at it as a 1 off or fluke. But still a win is a win. Remember fighters are professionals so its not right to say he didn't train hard or any stupid reason when they lost. The winner deserve what he achieved. What is there to fight for if we consider the loser still above the winner when it comes to ratings just because he is more skilled and been there for a long time. Again you have to risk what you have to prove you deserve to be in the myth list. Actually all arguments regarding myth p4p ratings are 99% correct it's just that its hard to compare each fighters achievements coz they are not fighting at the same division and theres still a 1% doubt. Just take a look at Calzaghe's and Pacman's achievements, both are considered p4p top fighters but who is the best? If we use the criteria longetivity, skill, technique, quality of opponents and winnings/losses, it will not solve anything on who is the best.

Well, he did just pull off the biggest win of his career, a bigger win than anything Williams has ever done.

Then you got margarito 1, williams 2, cotto 3 in the WW rankings, yet williams is not in the p4p? he is a better WW that cotto goinmg by their ww rankings but not better p4p?

This is a separate argument. I see your logic, but I don't see how Cotto being above Williams has anything to do with Margarito not being deserving of #6 PFP.


Or maybe Cotto got tired because Margarito was nailing him with quality body shots and uppercuts....

cotto will get fucked up against any fighter who can take his punches and fight right to the end.

---

So Cotto loses one fight, now he'll lose to anyone who can take his punches?? Wow, not true at all. Margarito fought a great fight, give him credit.

Shane tired after 3 rounds so don't throw him in the mix.

No he didn't. He came on strong in the late rounds against Cotto. You're just discounting Mosley because Mosley completely disproves your point about Cotto not being able to beat anyone who can take his punches. Mosley took Cotto's punches and Cotto still beat him.

toni hitting him with good shots would add to him getting tired. but look at most of his tough fights that have gone 12 or far he has tired bad.

Paulie slowed him down and kept a pretty close fight with him, i;m sure it wasnt his hard shots that slowed him down.

Mosley was fucked after a few rounds, yes he enevr gave up and "came ons trong" a lot of that down to Cotto once againt getting tired and allowing shane to come on, when guys tire they become an easier target, lack the same punching power and the movement becomes limited, you know this as much as anyone. all of that has been happeing to Cotto lately and in most of his tough long distance fights.


there for i see no reason to pick Cotto over any tough fighter who can fight 12 hard rounds and has a very sterdy chin.

As for Cotto being toni's best win, so what? thats doesnt matter shit lol everytime someone has a career best win they get a p4p stop just outside the top5? sorry failing to see your logic here...

The remark about the williams cotto thing was more aimed at game to back his statement up about the ring being bullshit at times in their ratings.
