More impressive resume Mayweather or Cotto?

Question

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a lot of belts and a undefeated record. HE has belts in 5 different weight classes, and has alot of huge money making fights. Some of the most significant fights in his career are:KO 10 Dieggo Corrales, Close decisoins over Castillo, UD Judah, SD DE la hoya, 10th round KO, however none of those fighters beat a guy in their prime. Miguel Cotto is undefeated and 2 weight class champ, key wins over: Undefeateds-Ricardo Torres KO 7, Paul Malinaggi UD, Carlos Quintana(New welterweight champ) KO 5, also UD Mosley, TKO 11 Judah. I think cotto fought alot of great guys and he dosent get credited for. Mayweather fought alot of guys in different weight classes but nobody of the caliber of Mosley, de la hoya and hatton, who did they beat thats good in their primes?No1 so choose better resume Miguel Cotto or Floyd MAyweather?

Answer 1

I like the way Woody put it. Mayweather beat judah before Cotto did, so that would put judah past his prime. Mosley was past his prime. Your have to ask yourself, who did the people Cotto fight vs who did the people Mayweather fought? Only Mosley and Judah fought top guy's in there days. Judah, Catillo, Gatti, De la Hoya, Corley, Baldomir and Hatton fought top guy's in there days. Take a look at Quintana, torres Malinaggi record. Your going to say, "who are those guy's they fought?". A bunch of no name guy's. Quintana has 26 fights, Malinaggi has 25 fights and Torres is the only one that has 33 fights out of the 3. Mayweather has been fighting longer than Cotto. Dont give me this Torres was good. Cotto had Torres in the corner and Cotto got caught with wild punches.Quintana was only good because he fougt no name guy's and met Cotto his only lost. Tito was beating good guy's, until he stepped up with the big boys and got put on his butt and out class. Its always out with the old and in with the new. Dont ack like you dont no. It happen to a lot of good fighters. If Mayweather keep fighting, it could happen to him to.

Answer 2

Floyd has the better resume.  However his resume will mean nothing without the name "Cotto" on it.  Who REALLY wants to see a rematch with De La Hoya?  THe first fight was boring, more of an event than a "FIGHT".  

COTTO

Its becoming more difficult to keep Cotto quiet as he chooses to do his talking with his fists.  When you are as impressive as Mayweather, and there is another who is more of a threat than any of your previous opponents, your credentials will mean nothing unless you FACE that opponent.  

COTTO

Can you Imagine if Sugar Ray Leonard tried to avoid Roberto Duran after defeating Benitez?   Then there was Hearns who was an even BIGGER threat ONLY because Leonard had gotten past Duran.  

COTTO

Mayweather can fight Oscar and his entire Family.  It STILL will not matter as long as Cotto continues to win and look better doing it.

"COTTO!"

Mayweather vs Cotto:  ITs the  ONLY fight that matters.

The outcry will become Louder and LOUDER until it happens.

Answer 3

I was reading the comments here and I suddenly had a vision of Oscar de la Hoya holding a press conference and saying:

"I don't see a need for another fight with Floyd Mayweather. Therefore, for the good of the sport I love, I am announcing my retirement, effective immediately.  My retirement should clear the way for Floyd Mayweather to give boxing fans the fight they deserve and really want to see:  Floyd Mayweather defending his title against Miguel Cotto."

I think Galactus hit the nail on the head when he said Mayweather versus Cotto is "the ONLY fight that matters."  The only problem I have with his comments is that I CANNOT imagine Sugar Ray Leonard trying to avoid Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns or anyone else.  

As a practical matter, Floyd's legacy is already on the line.  He cannot claim to be the best P4P fighter in the world, even  of all time, while he is ducking the biggest threat to his self-proclaimed greatness right now.

Free Tips: Resume / CV Advice From Our Writing Experts -Learn How to Write a Winning Resume

Tip 1: First Impressions - Catch Your Future Employer's Eye

The first impression created by your resume or CV is immeasurably important and may ultimately mean the difference between having your document thoroughly perused by a potential employer or simply tossed into a nearby wastebasket. Most resumes or CV’s receive only a quick, cursory glance initially. Research has shown that most recipients of resumes or CV’s make rapid decisions regarding the potential value of a resume or CV within the first 30 seconds of examining it. Therefore, the initial 30-second impression your own document creates is vitally important to you and your future career aspirations. But how exactly should you go about achieving that eye-catching and powerful first impression?

Tip 2: Formatting - Create the Winning "Look”

The social-network is fatal factor for your work present and future, the social-network is the your connections in the society, it can be your parent,friend,classmate,colleagues etc.Good scoial-network can improve your efficiecy, not only on the work itself but also good for your entire future career path.(job-hunting, recruit, professional personal development,life and work advice etc.http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkxtRgMVHQL...

Tip 3: Organization - Include a Brief Summary of Your Qualifications

It's often a good idea to include a brief summary of your qualifications and objectives right at the top of the first page of your resume or CV, as this gives the reader an immediate understanding of both your “value” as a potential employee and the nature of the work you are seeking.

Ensure that each section of your resume or CV is clearly visible to the eye, and that sufficient “white space” precedes or follows each title. Assist your reader to navigate your text by supplying clear visual clues, such as bolding, underlining, and highlighting wherever appropriate. The use of bullets often helps make text more accessible and readily understood. However, always be scrupulously careful that you remain consistent with your use of bolding, underlining, or bullets. Any inconsistent use will imbue your document with a non-professional, “home-grown” appearance. Be careful to maintain consistent margins and spacing throughout your entire document. You may be surprised how easy it is to make small but glaring errors regarding the consistency of margins and spacing. Be especially attentive to your page-break formatting. Experiment with final formatting so that you begin your second page with a heading, while at the same time ensuring that your first page does not appear incomplete or “empty” in any way. Experimenting or reworking final formatting is essential to the overall appearance of a winning resume.

Remember, too, that employers expect the length of a resume or CV to reflect the level of the position being sought by an applicant, and that lengthy, wordy documents do not impress potential employers.

Tip 4: Chronological Details - Organize Your Information

Clearly label each and every section. Place your most positive or persuasive information in earlier sections of your resume or CV. This will more likely attract the reader's attention and ensure that he or she will continue reading your document.

Always list your most recent work experience at the beginning of your resume or CV, and then work backwards chronologically as you list your remaining work experience. No employer is very interested in lengthy work history that dates back more than ten years, or in early post-high school employment that has little or no bearing on your current career aspirations.

However, do include early experiences, awards, or affiliations that in some way connect to your current application. Otherwise, keep your information relatively current, as current or recent information is of most interest to a potential employer. Be sure in all cases to place the greatest emphasis on recent work experiences.

Tip 5: Hard Data - List Your Accomplishments and Your Strengths

1. List your accomplishments and strengths clearly and concisely. Remember: avoid wordiness. List each of your career accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. Wherever you are able, provide “hard data”, such as dates, numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts. Hard data supports your claims and impresses employers. When you are describing your accomplishments, use concise, powerful, and vivid language.

2. List all the responsibilities that you assumed in your more significant employment roles. Do not confuse responsibilities with accomplishments. Be specific about each.

3. Clearly state your career objective - preferably at the top of the first page of your resume or CV. A statement of a career objective often precedes a brief summary of qualifications. Both pieces of information customarily appear at the top of the first page of a two-page resume or CV. If your stated career goal is an obvious change of course, briefly follow with a concise list of previous work experiences that would feasibly support such an obvious change.

4. Ensure that the information you include in your resume or CV is pertinent to the position you are seeking. This means that you must consider each piece of information that you choose to include, and that the selected content is truly relevant to the specifics of the career you are seeking. Include awards or affiliations that are pertinent to the position you are seeking.

Tip 6: Personal Details - Avoid Mentioning Private Details

Avoid mentioning personal details about your life, interests, or relationships. These details are rarely pertinent to an individual's professional career choice. Do not mention your ethnic background, as this might invite unfair discrimination and ultimately work against you. Do not include personal information about your gender, height, or weight. Again, this information might invite unwarranted discriminatory evaluations. Do not include information regarding your marital status, unless this information would benefit your application. Do not mention religious, political, or other affiliations.

Never lie or include misleading information. Lies and misleading content will inevitably create problems for you later. Do not overly exaggerate your accomplishments or the extent of your responsibilities. Be truthful but positive in the way your present yourself.



Tip 7: Customization - Avoid Using a “One Size Fits All” Résumé

Never be lazy and take short cuts when preparing a resume or CV. Avoid using a “one size fits all” resume or CV that you repeatedly use for numerous job applications. Update and rework your resume or CV for each position that you apply for. Never assume that your existing resume or CV will prove appropriate for each job you seek, even where those positions are relatively similar in nature. Take the time to rework your resume or CV so that it clearly and accurately reflects the specifics of the position you are seeking. Tell each employer exactly what you have to offer him or her. Target each company or organization that you are seeking employment with, and reword each and every resume or CV that you submit in order to attract the attention of each unique employer. The extra effort will pay off eventually.

Tip 8: Language - Employ a Fluid Writing Style

1. Make sure that your content is fluid and sequential. Do not present information in a non-sequential or illogical way. Have information flow in a meaningful and interconnected way.

2. Do not present information in lengthy paragraphs. Do not use complete sentences: instead use note form and bullets where appropriate. List information under clearly identified headings.

3. Use strong, powerful, vivid descriptors and highly active verbs. Avoid excessive, wordy, or “flowery” descriptors.

4. Use abbreviations that are common to resumes or CV’s, such as K for one thousand, M for one million, and MM for one hundred million. Avoid abbreviations that are not readily recognizable, or initially introduce such abbreviations with the full titles that they represent.

5. Do not use the first person voice (such as “I” or “me”), as this appears unprofessional and unsophisticated.

6. Make sure that every word you use is effective and telling. Never include repetition as a filler. Be succinct and assiduously brief, but at the same time use descriptors and verbs that are powerful and action-oriented.

7. If possible, avoid changing your verb tense. Staying consistently with either the present or past tense gives your work greater fluency and more consistency.

8. Use an active rather than a passive voice. Most spelling and grammar checkers will alert you to an inappropriate use of the passive voice.

9. Employ positive, “power” language. Avoid negative terminology.

10 Stay consistent and remain focused on your overall theme. Keep all your writing and each of your statements pertinent to your application. Make sure that every word you choose is meaningful and effective.

11. Ensure that there are absolutely no typing, spelling, or grammatical errors in your finished document. Such errors are guaranteed to place your resume or CV in the reject pile. Use a spelling and grammar checker as part of a word-processing system. Ask a friend or a family member to proof read your work. Proof read your own work on later or successive days.

Answer 5

I agree,  Mosley is better then Oscar and Floyd has fought smaller guys.  Cotto would have whooped up on Diego and Hatton also.  I would say Floyd needs to fight better guys,  but they should really just fight each other already.  The only reason this fight ain;t happened yet is because Cotto does'nt have a big enough name yet.  If you follow boxing thern you know who he is but if you are just an occasional fan then you don;t know Cotto,  once they build him up a little more then this fight will happen.

Answer 6

mayweather last best opponent was castillo. after that he beat  a bunch of old,non prime,c level and smaller opponents in the last 3 years.

cotto is fighting prime,undefeated,game and real welterweight contenders. his moving up and mayweatehr is just figthing for money not to improve his legacy.

Answer 7

I think to date, Cotto's most impressive win is over Shane Mosley, a guy Mayweather ducked about as shamelessly as he is currently ducking Cotto.  Floyd's major wins with the exception of DeLa Hoya came at weights lower than 147.

I give Cotto the edge.

Answer 8

Well, just going by name without hesitation I'd say Floyd Mayweather has the better resume. He has wins over Oscar De La Hoya, Zab Judah, Arturo Gatti, Ricky Hatton, Sharmba Mitchell, Diego Corrales, and Jose Luis Castillo (twice). All those names are very well recognized in the sport to diehard and even some casual fans. For the diehard fans, you could add Carlos Baldomir, Jesus Chavez and DeMarcus Corley to the list. That's ten good names right there.

When it comes to Miguel Cotto, he hold victories over Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Carlos Quintana, Paul Malignaggi, Ricardo Torres and DeMarcus Corley. That's no where near as many names as Mayweather.

Now here what I do like about Miguel Cotto's resume, which may be his only defense to give him the better resume; starting with his match against Carlos Maussa, he has fought fourteen opponents with a combine record of 409-31, with five of those opponents being undefeated at the time of fight. Mayweather in his last fourteen has fought opponents with a combine record of 527-45, with Hatton being the only undefeated fighter. You would have to go back fifteen fights to find the last undefeated fighter before Hatton, which was Diego Corrales. Sure the combine wins for Mayweather's opponents is much higher, but many would question the age-factor and whether those opponent were safely choosen perhaps due to them possibly being past their prime, like De La Hoya, Mitchell and Gatti. Most, if not all, of Cotto's last fourteen were pretty much in their prime, which could make one say that he went out and fought the best opponents available or willing to fight him.

In the end though, I still think Mayweather has the better resume. Regardless of whether his opponents were still in their prime or not, Mayweather did what he was suppose to do against these guys, which was win. If the megastars he fought were supposedly past their prime, then he did what was expected. If he had lost to someone who was labeled past their prime, then it would simply make him look bad.

Answer 9

Miguel Cotto beat Ricardo Torres Undefeated and a very powerful puncher at the weight class at the time Paul Malinaggi was undefeated and and yes destroyed Carlos Quintana which is a very good difficult leftie that beat Paul Williams recently and new champion. Thats without counting the fights with Zab Judah and Shane Mosley that were very great fights like every Cotto fight where he dismantles the other guy and has plan A plan B plan C for every fight . I have seen almost every fight and by watching the fights you can see who is more impressive and represents what boxing should be in both heart skill and profesionalism.  Floyd had problems with Jose Luis Castillo and won a desicion that could have gone castillo's side. He beat a smaller overrated Ricky Hatton and just had a UD with judah which brought him lots of trouble in first 6 rounds. MIGUEL COTTO better resume....

Answer 10

floyd in my opinion i think cottos good and i think he is starting to get the credit he deserves now but mayweather is a living legend and he beat most of his opponents at there peak whereas although still very good i dont think mosley or judah were at there peak when cotto beat them
