After that considering the weight climb to fight Pavlik , he did well. A few brits and other euros, and moving up again to fight a puncher at 168. He has an decent record.

I guess the question is, how could it have been better? What were the things that he could have done but didnt to make it better. Avenge the margarito loss (after he was decimated by pac and shane)? fought cotto closer to his prime before the injuries at 154 (while cotto was being drubbed by pac, floyd, and trout)? Taken on a bloated hopkins at a catch weight? GGG? WardHow many of those were viable money making options at the time where he could make them happen.

- I think cotto earlier could have been done. would it sell probably not as much.
- Margarito and Cintron Matches probably would havent sold and been credit-less wins
- GGG? Ward? possible but the weight disparity and the risk for the amount of money migh have been low. He could have tried though. and may have if he beat cotto. who knows?
- I think matches against trout, canelo and cotto may have bolstered his record a little.
