Actually it's pretty simple why he's the number 1 welterweight. Cotto vs Margarito was to determine who the number 1 welterweight was, Cotto lost (dubious wraps or not, he lost), Mosley then beat Margarito which makes him the best welterweight and leapfrogged Cotto.
Cotto was dropped out of the top 10 by the Ring because of his loss to Margarito then the Ring thought there were more deserving guys to be in the top 10 because Cotto only had fought Michael Jennings after the Margarito fight, he got put back into the top 10 after the Clottey fight whereas Mosley had been in there because he had beaten Margarito and rightfully so because Margarito was ranked in the top 10 when Mosley beat him. I think he got put in at number 5, which is fine because Vazquez and Rafael Marquez had long layoffs and in Vazquez' case hasn't fought at all until next month, Hopkins has been out of the ring for over a year so he got dropped a spot and JMM just lost. So I have no problems with it.
