I'll quote Springs Toledo on this one
This is ofc ratings from the RING, which you appreciate, back when these were pretty much as "official" as they were going to get
Margarito was ranked #4 when he faced Cotto, who was #1 according to The Ring before their bout.
Margarito was #1 and Mosley was #3 when they fought, with Cotto at #2. Floyd was #3 and Mosley #2 when they fought, with Pacquiao at #1.
There have been no #1 vs. #2 matches at Welterweight since Floyd retired in 2008.

unfortunately you don't skip ranks just because you beat them already. Cotto was no.2. Claiming that lineage means you go against the RING rankings, and accept 1 vs 3.
