Cotto's mandatory is Otkay Urkal, who's last 2 opponents at welter were a combined 3-13...... How the hell is he a mandatory?? I suspect you don't get as upset about that one, simply because Cotto doesn't stand to lose. Could be wrong.





No your wrong......I say the same thing about Austin getting a shot at Klitschko....Urkal...I also thought Cotto should not have gotten an immediate title shot at 147....What about the guys who have already been there working hard?...IMO just because you were champion in the division below...and you move up.....The best they should get is 10th ranking.....Right is right.....





Fair enough, I don't really agree with you in terms of a champ moving up though, imo if a fight can be arranged beforehand where one champion moves up to fight another, that's all well and good... Of course it's all a matter of the situation and who is involved.. I mean can you object to Mayweather moving up and "getting a shot" and Oscar's WBC belt(that he won from Mayorga who won it vacantly from Pichirillo) ?











Actually I do but you have to pick and choose your battles you know what I mean?...Yeah I know it's Mayweather who is P4P and how everything came about but I look at it this way.....Even if you get a guy with a 20-15 record......He lost his first 15 in a row for what ever reason...The he reinvents himself works hard and is on a 20 straight win streak...He has worked his ass off to be ranked...He has fought and beat thefighters ranked 10-3 and he is now third...This guy has worked his ass off to get a shot at a title.....He is 34 or so and doesnt have much time left in the game...now all of a sudden he is pushed aside for this guy from some other weight class who just came there for the first time......This guy gets screwed......Why....Because no one wants to see this guy fight...and the money is by getting the other guy who just got there a shot.....EG. A guy like Baldomir was pushed aside for years and turns out he was a legit guy.....I know the rtecord is an exaggeration but it is the idea of it Iam trying to get across....Fair is Fair...But like I said this is boxing
