    cotto has another organization's belt thus he is not ranked. just like mayweather was not ranked by any of the other organizations but the wbc.

      Yeah and the ring is so bad now huh guys?

      This is what makes the ABC organizations ****. Berto is basically getting a free title. The guy he's facing lost to Baldomir and now he has a title shot. Crazy.

        I don't know about that, but when you win a world title you're held to a higher standard. No more learning fights.

          who cares if two fringe contenders fight and the ****ty WBC strap is at stake. If one thinks in term on linear titles, you actually tend to enjoy these bull**** fights more. Think of the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO belts as regional titles that those who hold them and who aren't linear champions just happen to be some of the top contenders in the division.

            The guy Mayweather beat to win his first welterweight title lost to Baldomir too. That too was a free title.

              Zab Judah is a little different then Miki Rodruiguez. And a lot better too. Also Mayweather fought Baldomir after Judah too so why does it matter?

                  There's another option for Oscar.

                    Berto's handlers would be ****** if they let him fight Oscar. Pay day or not, he'd get crushed.

                      Cheap way to get a title eh?

                      That's the same way Cotto got his.

                      Somebody Vacated them..he didn't take them from a Champion
