    Ranking the Welter Division

    Since everyone seems to be caring so much for this division... let's review it as a whole and stop posting some much nonsense and speculations. Let's be fair to all of them. Forget who is your boy and just straight up rank them.


    WELTERWEIGHTS

    TOP
    FLOYD MAYWEATHER 38-0 (24)
    MIGUEL COTTO 31-0 (25)
    PAUL WILLIAMS 33-0 (24)
    KERMIT CINTRON 28-1 (26)

    Contenders
    SHANE MOSLEY 44-5 (37)
    ANTONIO MARGARITO 34-5 (24)
    ZAB JUDAH 35-5 (25)

    Pretenders
    RICKY HATTON 43-0 (31)
    LUIS COLLAZO 27-3 (13)
    CARLOS QUINTANA 23-1, 18 KOs
    JOSHUA CLOTTEY 32-2 (19)
    JACKSON BONSU 26-1 (23)
    OKTAY URKAL 38-4 (12)


    That's how I see the Big Picture. THAT'S MY RANKING. I believe Floyd and Cotto are the best two, so for obvious reasons I will love to see the best 2 fight each other. Both have beed brought up "protected" and not until recently that both have decided to take bigger challenges. But after Cotto beating Quintana, Judah, and Mosley... he got an edge. To predict a winner between Cotto and Mayweather Jr., you can't just say; "______ is going to kill _______". Not posible. Both are the best and the cream of the Division.

    Cintron and Williams got what it takes to give us what could be one of the best fights of 2008. Both could upset Floyd and Cotto any given Saturday. Their height, and styles (speed vs. power) can matchup well agaisnt Cotto and Floyd. Just mix the four of them and get the best welterweight, period.

    Mosley, Margarito and Judah should be out of the picture. Their recent loses says a lot. Judah got outboxed by Floyd and then got his ass kicked by Cotto. Mosley just lost to Cotto. Margarito was ducked by Floyd and Cotto, period. Margarito humiliated Cintron, but then again, he was schooled by Williams. So these three are the ones who need to fight each other and wait to see what happens after the ones in the top unify the weight.

    Hatton is over rated and will lose to any of the ones above him. Mayweather chose to fight him cause it is as a sure bet can be. Collazo, also had his chance to glory but lost KEY FIGHTS. Quintana was doing well until he faced Cotto. Clottey, Bonsu and Urkal round up whatever is left out there.


    As you may see, I don't include Oscar De La Hoya since he is just like a rotten apple that should retire from active boxing and concentrate on wife and promotions. With such a fine woman, I would be expending more time at home...

    Margarito should be ranked over Cintron even if Kermit has a belt.

        On the 2nd of february you will understand why I rank Kermit Cintron higher than Margarito. The experience gained by Kermit since Emmanuel started managing him is the BIG DIFFERENCE. This is the fight I can't wait for. This is a real anil bitting long wait. Forget Hatton-Mayweather. Cintron-Williams is what boxing should be about. Unify the tittles!!!

          I'm up and down with Cintron. On one hand I see this big Welterweight getting better under Steward's tutelage, who could possibly be a knockout machine. On the other hand, he lacks quickness, and I question his will. I want to see him over come adversity first.

          He says he spars with Andy Lee all the time, so he should be prepared for the rangy southpaw.

                Andy Lee is not Paul Williams and he aint quick like Williams. Cintron will be in for a long night.

                    i think collazo and hatton should be above urkal and judah,even if he's a junior welter.
