Re: How do you rank the welters now?
Your order looks pretty good to me. But why only use those on the list? Surely you top ten Welters should include them all. Urkal wouldn't be there IMO.

I wanted to limit it to only the guys on the list so we could get closer to consensus.
Re: How do you rank the welters now?
I can agree with that...maybe even having Williams and Cotto tied at #1....Mosley hasn't fought lately and he needs to if for any other reason than just to keep the rust off

For now I have Cotto ahead because he has successfully defended the title.
Re: How do you rank the welters now?
Sheep I like the list, but we need to bump Clottey up a few rungs, I would put him above Baldomir ;)
Re: How do you rank the welters now?
I think Kermit Cintron could be the dark horse of the Welters Floyd is number 1 but until he has a fight date set up he's retired.
Re: How do you rank the welters now?
Cotto has to be #1. Period! 2 weight World Champion who has taken down 2 off the list. He's the man.

Clottey hasn't done enough to be rated over Baldomir and Judah IMO
his last fight was a 10-rounder over a lightweight fighter.
There has been a point where Baldomir AND Judah
were the Unified welterweight champs......

I like the list. Mine would have a few changes.
I would put Margarito over Cintron. Don't matter if Cintron came off a great KO win and Margarito lost his title. Margarito overwelmed Cintron in theri fight and IMO Cintron has not erased that as he said after the fight.
I would probably put Collazo over Clottey given that he held the title and gave tough fights to Hatton and, to a lesser degree, Mosley.
Finally there has got to be somebody by now that would remove Urkal from that 10th spot. I expect the next update will not have him.
C PBF
1 Cotto
2 Williams
3 Mosley
4 Margarito
5 Cintron
6 Baldomir
7 Judah
8 Collazo
9 Clottey
10 Urkal

I think at this point you could put Berto at 10 though. Still a prospect to be sure, but there's no way he wouldn't beat Urkal.
Re: How do you rank the welters now?
I don't understand how Zab is 0-3-1 NC in his last 4 fights and is still ranked in the top 10. :(
(I guess it's just me who sees it this way?)
C: PBF
Cotto
Baldomir
Williams
SSM
Margarito
Cintron
Clottey
Collazo
Urkal
Gomez - Breaks in the top 10 with his win over Gatti
Re: How do you rank the welters now?
Possibly Quintana could be in place of Urkal

Well Judah stays up on the list I think because all 3 of those losses were to people that were ranked
higher than him (Champ- PBF, #1 Cotto and #4 Baldomir) I have him at #7 on my list. As I think he needs
to get dethroned by a lower ranked opponent to completely move off.
And for the sake of trying to come to consensus I wanted to use only the fighters on the ring list.
Not that all necessarily will still be there on the next time Ring updates, but so we had a finite list.
It is important not to forget that Judah WAS the unified Welter weight champ, for a year, it's the same
reason Baldomir is still on there.

Actually it wouldn't suprise me if Urkal did beat Berto. Berto looked shat last time out against a nobody and Urkal is a tough and resiliant fighter.
Before he faced Quintana nobody would have ever thought that Julio would almost get beat by Cosme Riveria but now I have doubts about Julio beating any slick boxer in the top 10.
Berto may prove to be equally clueless when facing someone who can take his shots and outbox him.
