    Welterweight Tournament to Conclude in 2007?

    the welterweight division is cleaning itself up thanks to Top Rank and Bob Arum. It looks like up next, WBA Champ Cotto will defend against his mandatory Otkay Urkal hopefully in the early Spring; meanwhile, WBO Champ Margarito is going to defend against Paul Williams, also hopefully in the spring. The winners (I'm assuming Cotto wins his fight) should meet up on Cotto's annual fight date in June before the Puerto Rican Parade. I tend to think Welterweight comes down to Cotto vs. Williams. I guess the winner can whoop Cintron's ass lol.

    Of course, Mosley, if fighting at 147 could spoil ALL their plans. I say have Mosley fight Cintron in the spring to add to the rest of those fights. That way Mosley could face the best of that bunch. If this plays out, I could see Mosley taking over 147. Either way, we should get some good fights in the next half year and perhaps unification.

    I think Clottey would have beat Margarito had it not been for the hand. He was beating him easily up to that point.

      I agree. Clottey looked pretty good, and Margarito looked even worse than I thought he was. It was almost laughable to watch Margarito try to pose as an elite fighter the first half of that fight. He just threw his shots insanely wide and got mad that Clottey wouldn't stand and trade more. Typical Mexican "warrior" if you ask me.

        I don't know about Mosely messing with Cotto. He can handle anybody but Miguel.

          At this stage of his career, Mosley would have trouble with Cotto. I'm not saying he couldn't beat him; but he'd sure earn some lumps along the way if he did. Cotto looked damn good the other night.

            Hopefully we will have an undisputed WW champ by the end of 07...

              Whew. If Mosely beats Cotto at THIS stage, he'd earn more than a few lumps. He'd earn a huge amount more acclaim for doing that.

                And Mosley said that he would like to face someone like Cotto if the Trinidad fight can't be made...

                  i also see it coming down to a cotto/williams showdown. i knew williams was good but after i seen how good he was defensively on pbf undercard i just know he's something special. being that long with those dodging skills thats crazy.

                    Agreed completely.
