    Welterweight Super 6?

    Seems like we've been having ourselves an informal super 6 tourney in the welterweight division in the past few years. The top 6 fighters according to the Ring magazine are:

    1. Pacquiao
    2. Mosley
    3. Mayweather
    4. Cotto
    5. Clottey
    6. Margarito

    So far the results have been:

    Margarito UD Clottey (Dec 2006)
    Cotto UD Mosley (Nov 2007)
    Margarito TKO11 Cotto (Jul 2008)
    Mosley TKO9 Margarito (Jan 2009)
    Cotto SD Clottey (June 2009)
    Pacquiao TKO12 Cotto (Nov 2009)

    Still to come:

    Pacquiao vs Clottey (March 2010)
    Mayweather vs Mosley (May 2010)?

    Record so far:
    Pac 1-0
    Mosley 1-1
    Mayweather 0-0
    Cotto 2-2
    Clottey 0-2
    Margarito 2-1

    Some thoughts:
    - AHEM Mayweather 0-0
    - Cotto is a TOUGH sumbitch. He's fought 4/5 of these guys already (*cough floyd cough*)
    - if oscar was on the list, mosley's record would be 2-1 if you included the first fight and pac's would be 2-0. floyd's fight with oscar doesn't count cause it was at junior middleweight

    thoughts? do these guys deserve their spots in the rankings?
    actually, is floyd really even ON the list, given that he hasn't fought anyone on it, and hasn't even signed the damn contract to fight mosley?
    who would win in the remaining fantasy fights (say pac vs margarito, floyd vs clottey etc) and how?
    should boxing media advertise this as a quasi-super 6 tourney and put up rankings and win-loss standings?

          Put Berto in over Clottey... Not that Clottey isnt a very good fighter.. but its time for Berto to be included.

          If he isnt that good, then we would find out real quick... but Clottey has had his shots, Berto hasnt yet.

            It's amazing that all those guys are fighting one another...besides Floyd.

                agree with you, clottey's fought better opposition but came out on the losing end of his big fights, berto's undefeated but his biggest wins so far have been against urango and collazo... maybe it's time to give the guy a chance at the top. but so far, he hasn't participated in the super 6 cause he hasn't fought any of those guys.

                but then again... someone on that list hasn't fought any of the others either.
