Who is the BEST Welterweight in the World?

So if Cotto is the best WW according to NSB, I don't understand why he is down on the best 3:1 against Pacquiao.

cotto mosley floyd

1) mosley 2) cotto pbf is unranked because he beat up a LW

Mosley, Cotto, Mayweather.

Lets look at all the things that happened between these 3 since nov 2007 and then tell me who is the best WW.

Is Mayweather even a WW i tought he was a 144 pounder, oops I meant 146 pounder. Cotto is number 1, bitches.

Ummm, Cotto beat Mosley twice??? Yeah, i saw that too.. I must have missed the 2nd fight! Dam!! :rolleyes:

Kinda difficult to answer....................... cotto beat mosley (twice) cotto quit to marg then mosley dominated marg floyd wont fight a true WW I will have to say cotto, cuz marg vs. mosley wasnt the usual marg. had nothing to do w/ plaster, IMHO marg looked drugged or mest up before the first round of the mosley fight. Ummm, Cotto beat Mosley twice???

1 mosley 2 cotto 3 mayweather

1 mosley 2 cotto 3 mayweather

Cotto/Mosley then PBF. It's not good to rank PBF at the moment. Marquez is not a WW prior to that bout. And far off from being a top 10 WW. When PBF left, he is the number 1 WW. Now, just no. Based on activity alone, Clottey,IMO, is above him. But if you are talking about "best skills", then Pbf takes it far and above them.

1.Mosley 2.Cotto 3.Mayweather . He hasn't proven shit at WW yet. You beat two guys moving up to fight you, big whoop.

Cotto is the best welterweight in the world. Mosley might be the "lineal" champion at welterweight at the moment, but Cotto beat him. He also beat Judah, QUintana, Urkal, Gomez, Clottey and Jennings. He only lost to Margarito at welterweight. Cotto's fought the best welters out there and only lost to one. Floyd shouldn't even be in this poll because he hasn't fought a real welter in years. Hatton at 147? Child please. Get the fvck out of here with that shit. It's Cotto as the poll has clearly indicated.

>cotto >mosley theyre both on a tie for me.

"Best" is kind of a subjective word there. If we're taking skills, then I'd say Floyd. If we're talking actual fights as a WW, then it's a different story. On one hand Mosley beat the man who beat the man, but then again Cotto became the man because Floyd retired. Or we could say that Cotto-Marg created the man, and then Mosley beat the man. Either way that leaves Mosley as the man. If we argue that Floyd left WW to fight Oscar so he's discounted, then we have to argue that Shane left WW as well - he fought at 154 for a while. So neither gets as much credibility as a WW, at least over the past 3 years. Only Cotto has joined WW and stayed there consistently, so one could argue that he's the best at actually "being" a WW rather than weight jumping. Ahh technicalities.

Miguel Cotto Shane Mosely Joshua Clottey Antonio Margarito Andre Berto Floyd Mayweather Jr.

based on the numbers of contenders beaten in the welter division I would say cotto Then shane and then floyd this is not a p4p ranking but a ranking of the best welterweight and i just happened to base that on the body of work done in the welterweight division.

Your just talking like a bitch...if you cannot recognize that Mayweather and Mosley are it your foolish. Cotto and Pac are 2nd tier based on there skills and performances. Mosley and Mayweather the best fighters from every aspect period. Damn, you're stupid. I'll agree with you and say Cotto IS 2nd tier, which is crap, but I'll agree. He still beat Mosley you asshat, so what does that make Mosley?

Your just talking like a bitch...if you cannot recognize that Mayweather and Mosley are it your foolish. Cotto and Pac are 2nd tier based on there skills and performances. Mosley and Mayweather the best fighters from every aspect period. If Mosley is so much better than Cotto, then why did he LOSE to him? Who has Floyd beat AT WW, to make him the best there? Hatton and Marquez?:loser:

Cotto for what he has done more recently in the div. But the best fighter of them 3 is floyd and if they all fight eachother floyd would beat them other 2
