"Miguel Cotto, 30-0, knocked out Zab Judah in the 11th round. Since Mayweather often plays the I-knocked-this-guy-out-faster-than-you game with upcoming opponents, it is worth noting that Judah lasted the distance against him.
Ricky Hatton, 43-0, knocked out Jose Luis Castillo with a fourth-round body shot. Mayweather won two rugged decisions over Castillo.
Finally, Paul Williams, 33-0, scored a dominant unanimous decision Saturday over fearsome Antonio Margarito. Mayweather never fought Margarito, though he turned down $8 million to do so. But a different common opponent, Sharmba Mitchell, was knocked out in six rounds by Mayweather, and by Williams in four.
Add to that group Shane Mosley and, reportedly, Oscar De La Hoya -- Larry Merchant said on Saturday's HBO telecast that De La Hoya intends to finish his career at welterweight -- and the division's star power rivals that of the early 1980s, when Leonard and Thomas Hearns ruled.
But that assumes Mayweather, who has ample excuses to ignore it all, participates. "
