To be fair Majesty i think a lot of people before the fight, didn't think Hatton was elite Welterweight. His fight with Collazo did suggest that.
That didn't stop them from picking Hatton to beat Floyd.
Personally and to be fair I think half the reason people picked Ricky in that fight(aside from his fans and etc) was for the sole reason to see Mayweather get beat and then when he loses all these excuses come up. See where my frustration heads from? No one wants to admit when they are wrong and just say "Dang I thought Hatton would win, Floyd's done good" But they turn it into "I would have been right if THIS didnt happen and etc" know what I mean?

Clottey is high risk low reward fight, ditto with Magarito, Williams would be great test for Cotto but Cotto's team will never risk that fight. Cintron well i don't think Cotto would get a lot of credit for beating Cintron, he did look bad in his last fight and he hasn't beaten any names worth mentioning.
And Mayweather gets hated on for exactly those kinds of reasons yet Cotto is safe?

The two best names on Cotto's resume are Shane Mosley and Zab Judah.
I would say Cotto's Welterweight resume maybe slightly better than Mayweather's resume at Welterweight.
Cotto's Wins At Welterweight.
Carlos Quintana
Shane Mosley
Zab Judah
Oktay Urkal
Mayweather's Wins At Welterweight
Carlos Baldomir
Zab Judah
Ricky Hatton
Sharmba Mitchell
I think Cotto has better Welterweight resume than Mayweather but it depends on how you look at it.
yes it depends how you look at it. You can say Quintana was green, Urkal was someone Harris stopped at junior welterweight and you already saw what I said about Judah and Mosley. So its true depending on how you see it.

It is unfair Majesty but when your P4P number 1, people expect you to have super fights in every single fight and beat every opponent easily. It is unfair but thats the way it goes in boxing.
Yeah but that rating shouldnt be so that all the other fighters have to take shots at them. Whatever happened to fighters proving their worth and earning their spots? What happened to them creating their own legacies instead of trying to get big off the one big name that is the p4p king when there are other people out there? get what I mean?

I thought most people gave Mayweather all the credit in the world, except for a few people. A lot of people praised Mayweather for his victory over Oscar De La Hoya.
These "Mayweather haters and etc" that I been addressing were talking about how "if oscar did this or that or this" then he would have won. Its just the whole mentality they they never want to admit when they are wrong and give props, its always "I WOULD have been right if Oscar used a jab and etc" see what I mean?

Oscar De La Hoya wasn't at his peak but Mayweather, still deserves all the credit in the world for moving up to a weight class he has never fought at before and out boxing Oscar De La Hoya and making him land only 21 percent of his punches is incredible. Ignore ignorant fans Majesty anybody who knows anything about boxing knows that was incredible victory even if Oscar De La Hoya wasn't in his peak.
I try to, but its hard when they make like 10 posts a day about the same thing. So I made this to address them and see what they have to say, if they even respond at all. But thanks for the support there.

Cotto has had a lot of haters as well Majesty, people have called him chinny, Robotic etc.
yeah but thats a different kind of hate.
Mayweather doesn't get the majority percent of the hate because of his style(like the hate Cotto gets) the majority of the Mayweather hate has to do with the "Why wont he fight this" crowd, and thats the kind of hate Cotto seems to have been immune to or jumped over about. So its different kinds of hate there, know what I mean?
