Fair enough. You're entitled to your opinion, although I would find it very hard to argue his name past any of those, never mind top 5.

That's just ridiculous and doesn't make any sense. Firstly you can't compare Jones' HW title achievement to this, two totally different things.
Secondly, Pacquiao
did make Cotto (already a larger WW that has had trouble with his weight in the past), come down in weight to fight for a title that
should've been contested at 147. Would it have made the difference in the fight? Even as a Cotto fan, I'm not sure it would've. An incompetent corner and a beating from Margacheato a year prior, were the icing on the cake. Still, the extra weight would've made it more competitive and definitely wouldn't have hurt his chances.
