    Cotto & Margarito (the real champs)

    In my opinion Cotto and Marg are the best Welter at this time Mayweather should be #3 ('cause of his skills). Please someone explain me how you could rank Floyd at #1 when he hasn't fought any top 10 WW (except for Judah).

    Here are the top 10 WW (from rompeboca post)

    ESPN top ten;

    1. Floyd Mayweather
    2. Miguel Cotto
    3. Antonio Margarito- Cotto's next victim (July 26)
    4. Shane Mosley- loss to Cotto
    5. Carlos Quintana- got stop by Cotto in just 5 rounds!
    6. Paul Williams loss To Quintana
    7. Zab Judah- Cotto TKO him!
    8. Joshua Clottey - loos to Tony
    9. Kermit Cintron- got KO twiced Tony
    10. Collazo- loss to Mosley


    Cotto VS MArgarito is the real fight for the Welterweight throne

      espn should get Floyd out of that list given the fact that the last true WW that he fought was a dude with 9 losses (Baldomir) back in 2006

        I agree with you but what I mean is that this two are the top WW and they are going at it so this is the real fight in the WW division (not DLH-May II)

          True. Any person with eyes and a brain can see that. Oh and Mayweather performance was horrible that night against Baldomir.

            Just because someone says Cotto/Margarito is for the #1 spot doesn't mean that it is. I agree that there is some confusion as to who is the best welterweight because floyd has fought and will fight dlh and hatton, but everything will be figured out in time.

              Cotto VS MArgarito is the real fight for the Welterweight throne
              to an extent i agree with you...

              cotto has beaten many of the top 10 welterweights (ie. mosley; judah; quintana)...and margarito has beaten many some of the top 10 welterweights (cintron, clottey)...

              only ones margarito and cotto havent beat are williams and collazo (collazo isnt even really in the picture right now anyway)...

              so other than floyd these two here have pretty much cleaned out the welterweight division; all thats left is for the winner of this fight to fight williams (margarito would have to rematch williams if he wins over cotto; assuming williams gets by quintana which i think he will)...

              i think its going to look like this:

              cotto beats margarito (in a close fight) and waits for williams/quintana (williams probably beats quintana but it would turn into a trilogy fight if williams wins the rematch) and IF williams beats quintana twice then i believe cotto should fight williams while floyd is busy with oscar.

              if this happens then cotto couldnt even be argued against being the number 1 contender (some critics dispute this currently...not many but a fair minority).

              then that sets up the megafight between cotto and floyd...the welterweight division would be throughly cleaned out...leaving on cotto and floyd.

                  That would be good. Is the Mosley/ Mayorga bout confirmed?
