Welterweight Super 6?

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

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?

Glad to see Floyd's maintaining that "0".

The welterweight division has produced lots of great fights, mostly due to the fact that the top fighters like Clottey, Cotto, Mosley and Margarito have been more than willing to fight each other. Now Pacquiao has been added to the mix, has beaten Cotto, is set to face Clottey and then Margarito/Mosley could be next this year.

A welterweight super 6 would be a personal nightmare for Floyd, being forced to fight Pacquiao, Margarito, Clottey and Cotto after Mosley? Not in a million years would he agree to that. Hopefully he'll stop acting like a 10 year-old and just sign that contract so we can see him in at least one of these "super 6" fights.

Indeed, Cotto only have left Mayweather to face!

Cotto is a tough mofo.....And FMJ didnt want none of him......said something like PR is far away or some sh.it like that...

That table shows why i respect Cotto. That 2-2 in his colum says alot about him i reckon, same with Mosely. I think if a 'Super 6 tournament' was offered to those 6 fighters, it would only be Mayweather to turn it down.
