Where is Cotto on P4P list with victory over Clottey???

All we need is Cotto/Mosley 2. Winner of that is champ. What have the other two done? Winner of Cotto/Mosley 2 is lineal champ.Comment

Yes, but then what? Berto is the undefeated WBC WW champ. Winner of Cotto/Mosley will surely have to face him as long as he keeps on his win streak. Dont see how u can be lineal without that WBC strap.Comment

WBC strap doesn't mean ****. When it comes down to it, there aint no difference between any of the 4, except that the WBC is the nicest belt.
Like you said....it's not the belt, it's who you beat.
Cotto and Mosley are the CLEAR #1 and #2 in the division. If they fight, winner is WBA/WBO/Ring Champion. Neither one need Berto.Comment

You're right. Its not about the belt, and it is about who u beat. Dont see how 2 fighters like Berto and Clottey can be left out in the cold without a shot at the throne to prove themselves though. Both of them have a more than good chance to defeat both Cotto and Mosley. In my book, you cant call yourself "THE CHAMP" unless u beat all the top dogs in your division.WBC strap doesn't mean ****.

That isn't how it works though. Any time the Ring's #1 and #2 fighters fight, it's for the Ring Title. Ring Title=Lineal Champ.You're right. Its not about the belt, and it is about who u beat.

So you're sayin that if Cotto beats Mosley, than beats Berto and has the WBO/WBA/WBC/Ring Title's than he's champ? What about Clottey and the IBF? What makes the WBC title so special?
When #1 fights #2 the winner is champ. Numbers 3 and 4 are contenders for that.Comment

That's why i say winner of Mosley/Cotto should fight winner of Clottey/Berto. It will show who's the clear cut champ. You dont have to agree, but to me, this makes the most sense in determining who's the best WW.That isn't how it works though. Any time the Ring's #1 and #2 fighters fight, it's for the Ring Title. Ring Title=Lineal Champ.

if you look at his avoided or turned down resume it will read......
Paul Williams-went to 160 then Phillips now Winky
Kermit Cintron-was Clottey's mandatory.....but chose Martinez
Shane Mosley-admitted that Clottey was a beast and he wanted no parts of him!
Antonio Margarito(he chose Mosley, so he gets a pass)
Andre Berto-DiBella KNOWS whats up!
they sound familiar??Comment
