Shame on Ring Mag and Shame on the WBC!

[JT Rock]

How is Ricky Hatton not a weltwerweight?

He was former welterweight champion of the world.

By the way who are all these true welters that Cotto has faced?

He beat Quintana who was a welter admittedly, to win a VACANT belt vacated by the previous welterweight champ Ricky Hatton.

Then he beat Oktay Urkal who spent his entire career at LIGHT welter

Then he beat Zab Judah who I think was a welter, but Floyd FOUGHT HIM ALSO

Then he fought Shane Mosely who came DOWN from 154 lbs

So Cotto by your own estimation has fought 2 welterweights.


Floyd has fought Judah and Baldomir which makes two also.

Floyd has fought 4 times at 147 lbs facing two welters, Cotto has fought 4 times at welter also, again fighting only two welters.

Furthermore his next fight is against Alphonso Gomez who has campaigned mostly at 154 recently.

Hope this helps

Oh cmon Bilbo your using reasoning and facts... That dosent work with this bunch

according to them Cotto has a 18inch cack, walks on water, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, is more powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet

Floyd will be the champ until he retires or looses. Bottom line. In the old days, guys like Bradock, Dempsey, and Johnson would defend the title once a year, so there is nothing new with floyd.
