Hatton-Urango has been signed:predictions??

[shza]

Sorry bro missed out the N should be www.thering-online.com. I'm sayong he's the champion at Jr. Welterweight. Forget the alphabet crap. The ring championship can only be won & lost in the ring & there is only one champion per division. The only way a champion can lose their title is to relinquish it or lose it in a fight.

Man you sure tried to slither out of that one but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. However your and your ring magazine rankings are fraudulent because although Hatton is up there at the top he has not come even a little bit close to being as successful at junior welter as Castillo. cotto should be ranked higher than Hatton as well.

This is just more favoritism and manipulation and once again you are part of the problem!

dude, what are you talking about? there's no favoritism or manipulation going on there. tszyu was the recognized champ at 140. hatton beat him. no one's beaten hatton at 140 since. therefore hatton is the champ at 140. cotto hasn't beaten hatton (or tszyu before him), and castillo HASN'T EVEN FOUGHT AT JUNIOR WELTER!

It is your your ring rankings and practically every other ranking that has Costillo at junior welter so what the heck are y'all talking about and by the way Costillo has fought all the way up to 147 which if you have not noticed is welterweight. Most of Costillo's significat fights were at lightweight but Cotto's have been at juior welter and were much more impressive in my mind than Hatton's.

Dang I am surprised that some of you aren't claiming your PBF of the reigning champ of all the weights he has fought or I guese you probably will

the point remains: hatton beat the junior welter champ and hasn't lost since. neither cotto nor castillo did. it couldn't be any simpler. if you're going to respond, respond to that. and the rankings all list castillo as a jr. welter now because he's publicly stated that he's moving up from lightweight now that he can't make weight there anymore. but he's yet to fight since making this announcement.

Ok

I guese since in reality Clottey beat Baldomir to a pulp that Clottey is actually the welterweight champ and after Margarito beats Clottey then Margarito will actually be recognised as welterweight champ?

Oh and please tell me why you dont recognize Floyed as junior welterweight champ even though he moved up or mabe you cant because as usual Floyed never faces the best such as Kostya?

i can't believe how dense you are. i can understand someone being confused about the alphabet rankings or something, but the concept of one champion per division, who only becomes champion by beating the former champion, and only loses the championship by losing a fight or abandoning the division is a very clean and simple concept.

i'll try one last time to clear up your misunderstandings. if you still don't get it, i'm afraid you just lack the aptitude. maybe galaxy can try to explain to you if he still has any patience.

1. Clottey was DQ'd and thus didn't get an official victory.
2. More importantly, Baldomir wasn't the champ at that time anyway--not until he beat the former champ, Zab Judah, who became champ by beating WW champ Cory Spinks.

Re PBF--maybe you're starting to get this very simple concept of the true, linear championship. Yes, PBF was never the Jr. Welter champ because he never beat the true Jr. Welter Champ (at the time, Kostya Tszyu). Even if he had, though, he would have abandoned that title when he moved up to campaign exclusively at 147.
