Could There Be Be Any Better Fight Made In The Sport Than...........

I'm not so sure that Cotto is ready yet. There's a case to be made that he lost to Mosley. I felt he won or it was a draw, but not everyone saw it that way. What would Miguel do so damn differnt from all the others? Yeah, he is bigger, and has more power than Hatton, but guess what? He's not as fast. He can't close the distance like Hatton can. He does have a better jab than Hatton though.

If that's the case, there's a case to be made that DLH beat floyd. floyd got a split while Cotto won unanimous against a better and more active fighter.

BTW, I don't think DLH beat floyd at all. I just had to make that point because you have guys that love or hate a fighter so much that they don't see fights with clear vision.

If that's the case, there's a case to be made that DLH beat floyd. floyd got a split while Cotto won unanimous against a better and more active fighter.


Oh come on thats not comparable, Mayweather easily beat Oscar De La Hoya, plus the punch stats were a landslide for Mayweather.

Cotto vs Mosley is very debatable i had Mosley vs Cotto a draw, Mosley come on very strong in the later rounds, punch stats had them landing the same amount of punches it was very close fight.

That's your opinion and your entitled to it but the fact remains that Cotto beat a guy who beat DLH twice and was far more active and sharp on fight night than Oscar as evidenced by DLH fighting way out of character and wailing away like we've never seen him do.

Those are facts and not opinions.

Just because Cotto beat a guy (Mosley) that beat De La Hoya who lost to Mayweather does not mean Cotto can take Mayweather any easier than the next guy. There is no proof to linear match-ups being factors to determine fights.

For example: With that logic that means Morales is better than Barrera because he beat Junior Jones OR Barrera is better than Morales because he won the trilogy so Morales wouldn't be able to beat Pacquiao OR Roberto Duran is better than Tommy Hearns because Duran beat Leonard.

But what happened was Morales lost the trilogy against Barrera even thought he beat Junior Jones, Morales beat Pacquiao even though he lost to Barrera who lost to Pacquiao, and Duran beat Leonard who beat Hearns but Duran sure didn't beat Hearns.
Hope that was clear to understand.

I completely understand. What I'm saying is that: why is it a big deal that floyd beat DLH on not that big a deal that Cotto beat Shane? And again, Shane was still very active while DLH had one fight in about three years and it was against a guy with zero defence.

The only difference is that floyd has a big mouth and Cotto does not. floyd makes his wins sound bigger than they are and people believe it. Cotto does all his talking with his fists.
