Are you accusing me of not being objective? Well...... I never!!


Seriously, tho... I'm not THAT bad. There's worse.
That being said, I still look at Hatton's list of opponents (from Tszyu onward) and Cotto's list dating back to Abdullaev, and I have a hard time saying (even objectively) that they're the same. Cotto's list is better, and it's not even close.

Ok, forget my argument that Hatton wasn't world-class. That struck a nerve, and everyone is pretty unanimous in disagreeing with me. But Cotto is still higher on the all-time list, and would've torn Hatton a new one at 147.

'Nough said.
