Bilbo I don't know how you say Cotto got badly beaten by Margarito. The first 6 rounds he took Margarito to school.
ALL of those guys have better resumes than Calzaghe's IMO bar Calderon.

So being knocked out and having your corner throw in the towel isn't being badly beaten?
After the fight Bunce, Watt and Spencer Oliver all said they thing Cotto may now be totally ruined by such a brutal loss yet you don't think it was even a beating
So wins over Munoz and Arce are better than Kessler, Hopkins, Lacy and Eubank?
Your hate is blinding you lefty.
Since when did you take any notice of Steve Bunce?
And forget them 3 "Experts". Cotto looked fabulous in the first 6 rounds. After the 6 rounds his nose and cuts combined with Margarito's relentless pressure caught up to him. No shame in losing to Margarito.
And yes I would rather have Jose Navarro, Jorge Arce and Alex Munoz on my resume.
Rather than an overhyped, one-dimesnional Jeff Lacy, Mikkel Kessler, a 43yr old grandad Nard Hopkins and a shot Chris Eubank.
"...went 12 rounds with Ali, and never took a backwards step."
[quote=hfahrenheit;624576][quote=leftylee;623837]You make it seem he was totally out of his depth. He completely dominated the first half of the fight.
And if your going by Cotto's facial injuries by any chance to believe he was "Brutally stopped" does that mean Paul Malignaggi was brutally beaten because did you see his face after Cotto ?
It was hardly brutal.
[quote=leftylee;624627][quote=hfahrenheit;624576]Personally, I'd be going by the fact he was willed into submission. Cotto took three knees. I think, may be wrong, but he even told his corner he didn't want to fight any longer. Paulie lasted the whole twelve rounds and judges had him winning a handful too. Of course, he was solidly dominated by Cotto.
I guess it depends on how you define "badly beaten." However, either way you cut it, Cotto was mauled by Margarito. You need to watch that fight again. Fast forward to the part when he kneels to Margarito...THREE times. Margarito made his face look unrecognizable. Cotto's boxing acumen was futile in the face of Margarito.
Calzaghe has a good resume, but as someone mentioned, you are comparing his resume to guys who are 10 years younger. Just the fact you are making the comparison should be indicative of something.
