The WW division is by far the most interesting division in boxing right now. Here's how things will stack up over the next months.
Margarito vs Clottey - Margarito isn't fighting Williams anytime soon, this fight will probably happen in November. Great fight. Clottey has a real good chance, the winner will be looked at as 'the top guy' at WW which I personally disagree with but that's how it is.
Williams vs 'Jennings' or Collazo- Not even sure if I have his name right. This will be on HBO BAD this fall. Williams is facing the WBO mandatory due to the fact nobody will step up and fight him at WW. Collazo is a solid opponent with good movement, but he's a former sparring partner of Williams. Paul is the biggest question mark because nobody at WW wants to fight him so who his next mega fight will be is a mystery.
Berto vs ?? - Who really cares. He isn't ready to step up significantly in competition yet.
DLH vs Money May - This fight will happen in May of '09. Definitely. The winner of this will be the marquee name every WW is gunning for. One of them might step up and fight Williams despite the Margarito fans claiming they are cowards (when Margarito is in fact the one ducking Williams)
Cotto vs Cintron - This should happen early '09. Whoever wins this (most likely Cotto imo unless he gets cracked) will also be a marquee name most WW's will fight.
Basically there are tons of names, but with Williams being avoided, it will leave things cloudy for a long time as far as who the REAL best at WW is. Regardless, how it will play out can go a long way in determining the future stars of boxing.
