If we take out Floyd, JMM and Pac out the picture, who holds the welter throne?

Keith Thurman. Marquez & Brad not real WW

Victor Ortiz.

Keith one time Thurman Gotta say that I agree. Keith is a big, solid, young welterweight with a lot of skill.

Bradley. When the end of the day rolls around and the sun has set behind the endless sand dunes, the Desert Storm will take no prisoners and when the sun rises the next morning, only Timothy will remain.

Timothy Bradley or Robert Guerrero. guerrero as an option is a f0cken joke ..

on paper, bradley is the man at ww without them 3 guys ....even alexander is number 2.. maidana @ # 3..........

Timothy Bradley or Robert Guerrero.

Joshua the beast Clottey

Lucas after Garcia vacates aka ducks at 140.

Guerrero gets a lot of credit at WW for beating Aydin and Berto :lol1: Guerrero has heart, stamina, average speed and power. He doesn't beat Cotto at 147 if he makes the weight comfortably. I'd take Guerrero at 147 over any version of Austin Trout at 154.

Right now Bradley has the strongest claim since he holds a win over Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight title and a solid win over Alexander at 140.Marquez and Pacquiao have no legal claim to any version of the world welterweight title and of course Mayweather is the real champ at 147.I voted for Matthysse because if he wanted to fight at 147 I think he could beat anyone on that list of fighters you put up to vote for.

I don't think Cotto can beat Guerrero at 147. Cotto almost was ko'd a few times at 140. Guerrero gets a lot of credit at WW for beating Aydin and Berto :lol1: Guerrero has heart, stamina, average speed and power. He doesn't beat Cotto at 147 if he makes the weight comfortably.

If Cotto could make it, he'd beat all of the listed fighters. He still says though that making 147 drains him and since that rules him out. Out of the options, Lucas "The Machine" Matthysse.

Broner of course.

Victor Ortiz

Yep i choose clottey! The same clottey that went to war w cotto. Clottey is a big strong WW whom was looking good up til pacq. No one on this list has the ability to overwhelm him like paqc did. Imo

Cotto if he trained hard n got to 147 he'd be the best there I don't think Cotto can beat Guerrero at 147. Cotto almost was ko'd a few times at 140.

Floyd gets no credit because he dodged to many good fights! Simple as that. Deal with it Flowmos Don't be mad at Floyd because Antonio Margarito's boxing career has been WIPED OUT b/c of his usage of ILLEGAL hand wraps. I bet the haters wanted Floyd to fight him with the illegal wraps. LOL! You guys are pathetic.

Keith one time Thurman Yeah, thats my dude,,, super exciting, not sure how far he will go, but def one to watch.... I would say bradley would be #1 if no jmm manny or floyd.. but honestly the division would be wide open and i could see there being no dominant champ, Cotto could beat all these guys if he ever trained hard and made 147,, Im sick of seeing him with love handles...
