Ok, so how do you compare the careers between these fighters?

1. Judah-Spinks
2. De La Hoya-Mosley
3. Cotto-Vargas
4. Hamed-Hatton

Judah-Spinks
Both fighters were undisputed welter weight champions, and both split fights 1-1 between each other, though that has been Judah's only key career win. Spinks at least still has a decent win against Mayorga which is already better than anything else Zab has done. He has picked up a few more decent wins along the way.
Judah had the more potential, and more upside to him, but didn't live up to it. At this stage, I think Spinks has had the better career.

Spinks. I thought he actually beat Taylor.

DLH. Hoya fought the higher opposition and sdespite the losses i thought had a more meomorable career than Mosley.

Vargas. Probably the toughest one for me. Both came up short in their biggest tests but I'm going to shade it for Vargas due to that win over the much avoided Winkty Wright. I could honestly go either way though. Cotto did get by Mosley so....................

Hamed. hatton has the bigger name as a scalp but I thought Hamed was just more dominant over guys when he was at his peak. hamed's power was insane and he iced guys that had never been KO'ed before with one shot sometimes seemingly going backwards. I might actually go and YouTube the Kevin Kelley fight right now, thanks for reminding me Fitz!

Meh, that win is in the same exact vein as Cotto's win over Clottey. I have to say that Cotto has had the better career between the two.

NO Winky is waaaay better than Clottey.

Winky IS a lot better than Clottey, but shit, man, Cotto easily had the better career of the two. He's fought the way tougher competition of the two, and never got caught cheating either.

I couldn't agree there as far as Cotto having fought tougher competition. But I do agree Winky is WAY better than Clottey.

Vargas fought DLH, Mosley, Mayorga, Tito, Quartey, Winky. Fukc me, that is way harder than Pac, Mosley, Margarito, Mayorga, Clottey, Zab etc.
It is hard to judge because Cotto did more in his career, more titles, more divisions, more wins. But he didn't fight as good competition.

DLH V Mosley, that is a tough one to split also. I think both men lost quite a large portion of their primes, DLH when he left Alcazar and became a fairy hitting, philly shell fighter as opposed to a hard hitting, stand-up boxer puncher. Mosley on the other hand became obsessed with his power and lost everything that made him successful as far as speed and punch output. Give me DLH by a whisker given I thought he beat Tito and Mosley in the rematch but I also thought Mosley edged Cotto.

Spinks and Judah both decent, although at least Spinks had a win over Mayorga, Judah wouldn't beat anyone similar to that. Spinks. Sduck did make me reconsider now after reading his post, Judah did beat Spinks in better fashion than he himself lost to Spinks. I just think that Spinks, despite not fighting as good competition, would have done bettter against that competition if he did face them, whilst Judah would have most definately beeen knocked out by Mayorga.

Hamed and Hatton Both dominated until they stepped up against all-time greats, but I would say a win over an old Tszyu is still better than anything Hamed ever did! Hatton.
