    Let it soak in.
    Boxing doesn't work like that bub. Although, the way SSM is right now its tough to say he isn't the best welterweight out there. I'd like to see Mosley take the IBF title from Clottey and Cotto take Berto's belt and then get a unification by the end of 09 or early 2010. Then we'd see who's the best. I think it's Cotto.

        I would like to see the Cotto-Margarito rematch!.. I still think Cotto is the best welter, but there has to be a rematch. This time Cotto will go to the body like he was supposed to in the first fight.

          Mosley is the best. Cotto squeaked by Mosley but got destroyed by Tony who got destroyed by Shane. Tony and Miguel got their asses handed to them, Shane has yet to suffer a bad loss like that. If the rematch is greenlighted, it's up to Cotto to try to redeem himself against Margarito, Shane set the blueprint on how to beat him, let's see what Cotto is made of. Lastly, smh at people claiming Tony cheated against Cotto.

            Let the commission do their job and wait patiently.

              I think Mosley just has Margs style figured out. He grew up in Cali fighting these type of fighters. Cotto doesn't clinch and is not as strong as Mosley. I dont mean power but physical strength. Mosley was pushing Marg around in there.

                I agree.. But Cotto has to fight his fight this time. Not like Mosley. He kept boxing like he was 6/10. He is the shorter guy.. Get inside, work the body, go up stairs then clinch. Everytime he moved away from Margo in the first fight, he got hit.

                  Cotto is a very good ww,but until he beats Margarito in the rematch and fights Clottey,I'd say the best ww is still a toss up between the top 4 or 5 ww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    Yep, he needs to force he action and press margo himslef, like Mosley did. Most people call me a idiot when I said that to beat Margo, you need to get on the inside and press the man, while boxing every now and then, going up and down,down and up, just like Mosley did. If Cotto do this he will Ko Margarito too, but if he goes without a game plan like he did, and just throws punches and runs around the ring He`ll loose again, Plaster or no Plaster!!!!!!!

                      the only welter i can see beating cotto is perhaps clottey but thats speculation.

                      a lot of ppl threw cotto away after the marg fight...forgettin how he got to the top. well...its time to remember

                      he's the best welter....

                      let it soak in
                      Stop it Stop it!!!
                      I love Cotto but he needs to get some revenge for his loss to marga****o and fight SSM before he can be the best!!!
