    Cotto is the most Talented at Welter, that I can agree with Cotto "fanatics". But he's not the best right now.

        Shane Mosley is good, but people are forgetting he had a bad showing vs Mayorga where he was losing at some point and won by a last second k.o. When guys are old you just don't know what they'll give you.

        Other fighter that people are forgetting is Andre Berto.
        He fought a tough fighter in Collazo in which that many people saw him beat Hatton. Berto started the fight in a bad step , but finish of very good. But i'm not sure he would be able to do that if he was older. So he should start looking for bigger fights now and not later.

          Mosley's excuse for his poor showing against Mayorga was that he had blisters on his feet.

              To be the man you have to beat the man.

              Mosley beat the man (margarito) who beat the man (Cotto).

              Mosley is offically the best welteweight in the world.

                i agree in terms of actual boxing i dont see anyone better Mosley fights at various weights, Williams has a massive advantage from height, Tony because of his durability, Clottey would probably be second.
                When I say this I mean purely in terms of their boxing ability

                  I think he will be back at the top without any questions by the end of the year. But right now hes at #2 behind Mosley.

                    I think he is the best but he needs to prove it, Although he beat Mosley already Mosleys top dog right now

                      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
                      If by Cotto ya mean P Williams then I agree wit ya
