    Rank the current 147 pound champs

    Recently, all these champions have fought. Now that that they have showed who they are in the welterweight division, how do you rank them? Sure, Mayweather has to be #1 but the rest is up for debate. Here are mine.

    1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. - WBC champion
    2. Miguel Cotto - WBA champion
    3. Antonio Margarito - WBO champion
    4. Kermit Cintron - IBF champion

    Besides this ranking, who do you think matches well with the others and if you had to pick just two of them to make a fight who would you choose? What's the welterweight fight you want to see the most?

    I have to choose Cotto vs. Margarito, but if Margarito relinquishes his belt, the fight will lose the unification factor that Margarito has wanted for years. Ideas?

      Margarito over Cotto and Cintron.
      Cintron over Cotto.
      Mayweather probably over all three.

      Cotto has so much skil but I just don't think he could survive vs Cintron and Margarito. If he KOs them first...I have a lot of doubt about Cotto. I just feel like it's a matter of time despite his skills until he gets dropped. He has the ability to beat perhaps all 3 other champs though.

        1-Floyd
        2-Margarito
        3-Cotto
        4-Cintron

        Floyd beat the #1 guy, Margarito has been there for years, Cintron has beat some solid guys and only lost to Margarito, and Cotto has only 1 win. Cotto's win was good but we still dont know how good Quintana is considering Julio looks like garbage right now.

        The fight I would like to see the most is Cotto vs Cintron. A PR fight and 2 young power guys who have questionable chins. I like Cotto but right now I still say that he gets KO by all 3 guys.

        With that being said, Cotto is so good that it wouldnt shock me at all if he stopped both Cintron & Margarito

          1.PBFloyd
          2.Cotto
          3.Margy
          4.Cintron

          Cotto vs. Margy would be a good one... Both hit and get hit too much for me to pick a winner... Nevermind... Cotto...

              Mosley?

              Erm.

              Vargas is one of the most shot name fighters out there right now, and Mosley struggled with him a good bit in the 1st fight. I guess Mosley is top 5 but not ahead of Margarito or Floyd. He hasn't done much of anything there for a while.

                  Maybe; but I still think Mosley could beat Margarito....and I don't have him ahead of Floyd. Mayweather is the Champ.

                    It's really tough to place Mosley properly because he hasn't fought any serious competition at 147 in forever. For all I know, he may not be even a top 5 fighter at welterweight at this point. He already ducked Cintron for his February date, so I don't think even Mosley himself feels he's a high caliber fighter anymore...
