Welterweight division is not loaded, it’s been blessed by Floyd Mayweather
Why do people assume that the Welterweight division is stack full of talent??? I really don’t see any talent fighters except Williams and Cotto.
Let me start off with the east target first, Joshua “Best win shot Judah”
Clottey. Why do people call him a top WW?? PBF beat the better version of Judah more convincingly. His is very one dimensional yet is called a top WW, WHY. People brag on how is the HW division is weak, I don’t see the difference between him and Ibragimov. Ibragimov best win was Holyfield at the time. Clottey best win is a **** version of Judah yet people belittle Wladimir beating him. Calling the HW weak. Clottey is the same Peter IMO
Margarito. The only reason people think he is good is simply because he offered Floyd a fight. That;s it. What does Margarito have that adds to the WW division? He is a limited fighter who has been exposed as a fraud coward and a disgrace. He lost to Williams in a lopsided fight, he barely beat Clottey and has a questionable win over Cotto. This man as accumulated 6 losses yet they call a top fighter.
Berto. Heavily overrated as these species known as top WW. Good win over Forbes and Collazo that’s it. Hatton has a better performance over Collazo moving up for Jr WW. You could argue that Berto has beaten better fighters than Clottey.
Sugar Shame Mosley, undoubtedly the most overhyped boxer of our era. Two decent wins his whole career, Oscar at 147 and Margarito. He is aged 38 now and a former drug cheat, beating him wouldn’t do much for your legacy now. People think Mosley does something for the WW division adding talent. Hopkins fights at 175, is the LHW stack full as the WW divison
Hopkins = Mosley
Dawson = Cotto
Cloud = Clottey
Calzaghe = Mayweather
Diaconu = Berto
Williams = Adamesk
Has Clottey/Berto had any fight that made you say WOW, he is talented???
The WW is not loaded as people make it out to be. The only reason they do that is to belittle Floyd. If Floyd never fought at WW, this division would be the same as SMW/JR MW and LHW right now. The difference is Mayweather has fought at that division.
Floyd has yet to fight a top Welter.
Name one great Welter Weight Floyd has beaten.
Sharmba Mitchell
Zab Judah
Carlos Manuel Baldomir
Ricky Hatton
This is hardly the cream of the crop in the Welter Weight Division. Funny how you left out Williams. Does Williams scare you so much that you are afraid to even mention him as a welter? Floyd is no Welter Weight and Williams would toss Floyd up like a salad at 147 and at 154.Comment

Now you are tripping. The Welter weight division has always been one of the most entertaining divisions in the sport of boxing. This division is bigger than Floyd with names much larger such as Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler. Floyd was still eating his buggers when these men made their bones in the ring fighting the best.Comment

athletes needs big challenges so they can prove they are big. if u don't play with the best ur never gonna be among the biggest athletes of the sport.
ask jordan what would be his carrer w/o barkley or malone
ask the yankees about the redsox
ask federer about nadal
ask pr fighters about mexican fighters
they are the best against the best. that's what makes u biggerComment
