Who's the BEST Welterweight in the World?

It's pretty much a toss up between Tony and Cotto right now, Cotto having the slight edge because of his better "resume", but once Tony beats Cotto on the 26th he should be crowned the best Welterweight in the world. if cotto boxes , he'll win a decision. if cotto tries to go toe to toe , he'll get worn down and tko'd in the later rounds. i think cotto will get drawn into slugging it out , hence why i pick marg to win.

Cotto should attack his body ALOT good. i hope cotto goes to the body a lot too. that means he's on the inside and not boxing. i hope miguel goes with your gameplan.

cottos superior boxing skill and mobility will negate margaritos chin and power yes it would , if he uses it. cotto's gameplan is to box but i guarantee you at some point all the boxing will go out the window. he'll get popped and will try to retaliate and it'll turn into a toe to toe affair. it's one thing for him to box another boxer or pop shot a less skilled fighter but when some guy challenges him , he'll push back. it's in his nature and it'll cost him a L in this fight.

Marg isnt a welterweight either Cotto should attack his body ALOT

Why does everyone act like they forgot that Paul Williams beat Margarito? Margarito has to beat Paul Williams before he can even think about being the best welter in the world. whoever wins on th 26th is the best welterweight. paul williams is not a welterweight. williams-calzaghe in 2009!!!!!!

Past- Sugar Ray Lenoard...Dude was sweet IMO... a blend of speed power and charisma! Present- Cotto( because Mayweather is so-called retired)....He's doing his thing at WW and he's making a mark on the division IMO All time- Sugar Ray Robinson same list i have. i think cotto will lose to marg but i think cotto is the better fighter.

Williams, Clottey, Cintron.. Williams, is jst a fuckin freak, and has always been at this weight, marg HAS fought at a higher weight and just like hatton did when he moved up said "fuck this these guys are a bit to big and to hard" Clottey is a very good fighter and would prob beat marg :D Cintron- is a bum, always has been, been sayin it when people where screamin for him to fight marg the first time... the guy can hit big deal, its a 1 punch knock out punch he has. The guy has a pretty good chin, a shit defence and walks in straight lines

Floyd is the best WW in the world. Why does everyone act like they forgot that Paul Williams beat Margarito? Margarito has to beat Paul Williams before he can even think about being the best welter in the world.

Floyd is the best WW in the world. can you at least wait for him to come out of retirement? right now he's in the WW division of RETIRED boxers. you know......where leonard , robinson , hearns , napoles , whitaker , etc is? he'd be just a tuneup in that division.

hit me with all 3. Past- Sugar Ray Lenoard...Dude was sweet IMO... a blend of speed power and charisma! Present- Cotto( because Mayweather is so-called retired)....He's doing his thing at WW and he's making a mark on the division IMO All time- Sugar Ray Robinson

If marg knocks cotto out, i'll change ma name to MargBeatsFloyd lol Marg is just one o they guys, who should be a weight above and is picking on these smaller fighters, then he's gonna fight cotto, who hopefully will keep his chin down, doesnt get hit goin back in a straight line like usual and we will have cotto as number 1

plain and basic common sense. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92667&page=1 you have no regard for human life.

Past, Present or All time?? hit me with all 3.

why does every cotto guy talk about margarito being punished with body shots? do you realize that antonio is mexican? last i heard mexicans know a thing or two about bodypunching. i'm sure all the mexican sparring partners he's had probably was taught how to punch to the body. call it a wild guess. do you guys realize that cotto's gameplan should be to box from the outside? to dig to the body cotto has to get on the inside and go toe to toe with antonio. guess what margarito wants? you support cotto but talk about the body shots his gonna punish antonio with. if cotto goes with your gameplan he's gonna lose.

Past, Present or All time??

Let see how Margo react after a couple of Cotto's body shot, and when Cotto start frustrating Margarito's intention. how would marg react to a couple cotto body shots? an uppercut. what is this some kind of puerto rican quiz or something? let's see how many body shots cotto throws after eating a few uppercuts......

What Margarito is......is one tough , big natural welterweight who can take a punch and will keep going forward........ Cotto will get his first L. Let see how Margo react after a couple of Cotto's body shot, and when Cotto start frustrating Margarito's intention.

don't worry reed...... ricky will come back to 147 when manny ko's his ass and takes his 140 lineal title. no need to leave #1 spot open for the man from manchester...... lol that isnt for ricky LOL

Cotto hasn't lost to anyone on that list, or anyone at all. was cotto's zab , urkal , gomez wins better than marg's cintron win? mosley was a good win but he's 35-36 and hardly the same shane that beat oscar the 1st time. marg has a few wins as good as the shane win.
