Who's the best Welter?

[El Chicano]

With all that has happened in the Welterweight Division during the last year or so, who would you say is the best Welterweight fighter right now?

It's hard to put a finger on one fighter and claim that he is undisputedly the best fighter at 147lbs, but let me start this one by saying Tony currently stands above the rest.

[freedom213]

logic points to Williams he beat Tony who beat the guy everyone was calling the best formerly. I refuse to even consider Mayweather until he comes out of retirement but if he did I would again have to give him the nod (begrudgingly)

[KLITSCHKO.]

Margarito is the King at 147

[Hagler★]

i still go with cotto margarito is just blessed with supreme durability, cotto is still a better boxer

[Sin City]

Margarito beat the best welter therefor he is the best right now.

[2501 v2.0]

For me, that will be determined when Williams and Margo fight again. Right now, there is no clear "best" WW in MY opinion.

[The Surgeon]

I voted Miguel Cotto as i believe he is still the divisions best fighter regardless of his last fight. That said Margarito is clearly the man to beat right now and deserves the number 1 rating.

[MANGLER]

Cotto was #1 and Margarito KO'd him decisively. Williams is a close 2nd.

[Monticello]

Paul Williams.

I would say Margarito is the best but I don't think he has the right to claim it until he beats the man that previously defeated him.
