Has Any Fighter In Recent Memory Fought As Many Quality Fighters In A Row Than JMM ?

[killersheep]

JMM's last 8 fights.

Victor Polo
Chris John
Terdsak Jandaeng
Jimrex Jaca
MAB
Rocky Juarez
Manny Pacquaio
Joel Casamayor

And now Juan Diaz from the top of my head, i can't think of a fighter. Who has fought that kind of level of opposition in a row. That truly is quite a list.

Bernard Hopkins

last 8 fights
Kelly Pavlik
Joe Calzaghe
Winky Wright
Antonio Tarver
Jermain Taylor
Jermain Taylor
Howard Eastman
ODLH

I totally forgot about Bernard Hopkins i don't know why, but he's for certain up there so is Winky Wright.

JMM definately has a great resume too.

Cotto has a good list

HHhhhhmmmmm I wish I could say I agree. Sure, Judah and Mosley are big names but, I would be more convinced if they were on their primes. I would have rather see Cotto face Mosley back when Mosley beat ODLH. When he had that speed, KO punch, fast legs, etc. Same thing with Judah. All the other guys in his list, well, what do you think about them?

He's had Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Ricardo Torres, Paulie, Urkal. Its not the best, but it was decent.

I think Ricardo Torres has dynamite in his fists and is dangerous against anyone, Quintana is a really good boxer who showed it against P. Williams their first fight. Margarito is obviously MArgarito. Judah isn't the best fighter ever, but he looked a lot better against Clottey than he did against Cotto which is saying something about how good Cotto is. ALl in all your right he shouldn't be up there, but he has foughten some good guys.

Sure. We can say Cotto's opponents have been "decent" but not really up there on the list. Something that doesn't convince me that much about past opponents is who they also faced in their careers. Let's say that Jennings had a KO punch and all but if we looked at his resume, who has he fought really? Yeah, those kind of things don't really impress me from Cotto's resume compared to others that have been mentioned in this thread and others. But as for style and all, sure, Cotto has it . Let's see how he does against the long list of top guys on their prime. Hopefully he'll do just fine and not be like Fernando Vargas who sadly lost against big names in their primes.

And I agree with you Chino

[CutMeMick]

How recent?

Holy fought some badass names consecutively.
Buster Douglas, Foreman, Cooper, Holmes, Bowe, Stewart, Bowe, Moorer, Mercer, Bowe, Czyz, Tyson, Tyson, Moorer, Bean, Lennox, Lennox, Ruiz, Ruiz, Ruiz, Rahman, Byrd, Toney.

In that order I reaaaaaaly doubt any boxer will have that many top fighters with the exception of a couple.

[Taeth]

Except for OScar De La Hoya, I think you would be hard pressed, but Dela Hoya except for at the very begining of his career has fought solid opponents every single time.

Even back in SRR days they didn't fight that many really good guys in a row, but they fought more bums inbetween. If you look at those guys records against the really talented opposition it measures up pretty comparably to nowadays.

And I agree with you Chino
