Here's some thoughts on all those fighters from that list.

Shane Mosley
Already been at the top. Great speed, puts punches together punches well and smarter then any other fighter in the division. But he is up and down in weight constantly, he's 37 years old and you have to wonder how many he has left in him. Honestly though I don't know, I didn't see him face Collazo.

Kermit Cintron
Good fighter with tremendous power but he has been inactive in what you have to think are his prime years. He isn't exactly hard to hit either and he is pretty one dimensional. Straight power fighter. But he works well with combinations. And he has a wide variety of punches, all pack power. I love his uppercuts. I would love to see him fight Joel Julio.

Antonio Margarito
Margarito, for whatever reason, has the wrap as a sloppy wide punching slugger. Couldn't be farther from the truth. A big imposing puncher, always has a jab in your face. Has a very nice right hand and he can reach with his uppercuts. He's slow with left hook and he throws it a lot. That would hurt him against a fast guy with the ability to counter imo. Not hard to hit especially with straight punches but Margarito is a good fighter. I can't wait for the Williams bout, and if he can get past that I'd like to see him fight Cotto or even Floyd.

Miguel Cotto
Of the list, he is my favorite. A real spark plug and a very good all around fighter. A good fighter in transition. About as accurate and as powerful as there is in the division. His fights speak for themselves really. Wouldn't pick him to lose against anyone but Floyd really.

Zab Judah
I think his skills are overrated. He has good speed and pop but a very subpar defense and he isn't right around the edges. You can hit him with the straight right whenever you want basically, he gets hit a lot moving in or out and he drops his hands after every single punch. Most of the time when he is moving out, he's doing it hands down moving straight back. He's such an egotistical fighter and he thinks he can get away with doing all that and he won't get hurt. Then of course when he does get hurt he collapses. You can always count on him for 3 to 5 good rounds, and he has the potential to beat almost anyone, but he isn't going to.


Carlos Baldomir
Baldomir is solid. No other way to describe him. He is solid. He doesn't do anything extrodinary, but he doesn't do anything wrong either. He could be one hell of a gate keeper and even score a few more upsets if he sticks around.

Arturo Gatti
Gatti has no legs. Gatti is still a good fighter imo. I mean he's not bad. He's still got good skills and very good speed and everything but the fact that he can't make 140 should be a wake up call for him. He didn't have much power to begin with but Baldomir took some clean shots and barely blinked. He doesn't have the legs anymore.

Andre Berto
Berto could be the future. He's very good. There is no doubting that. Definitely an exciting fast moving prospect but I'm not so sure if I'm sold on him ett. He still looks like a prospect that's for sure, he's a whiles away from a title imo. I watch him and obviously tremendous all around speed and explosive power. Nice combinations and fairly good reflexes but he still as a couple things he has to work on. First being that wide stance of his, he keeps his legs very wide apart and his right at his back shoulder. He looks open for a left hook, especially a counter left hook because he's not the most accurate with the left.

Paul Williams
Very active fighter. A bit leaky defense, especially in that in between zone but he throws a ton of punches. There are a few guys out there right now who would make him look stupid, but he's a fast fighter who punches in high volume and is for the most part right around the edges. I don't think he's that bad and I think he has a real chance to beat Margarito if that fight came off. He needs to pick his hands up though because while he can slip punches from the outside, he still gets hit a lot, especially with looping shots that aren't fired over or under his arms.

-----------------------------------------------

I guess I didn't answer the question. Cotto right now beats everyone on the list imo. So does Floyd. Especially Floyd. Baldomir and Gatti aren't really going to do anything imo. Especially Gatti. Cintron and Williams aren't really ready for the big time yet I don't think. I'd like to see them take gradual step ups in competition. Berto is a long whiles off. He's just raw right now. Judah is pretty good but he can't make any sort of consistent run at the top. Mosley and Cotto are the class of the list and that's a pick em fight. But Cotto has youth on his side and that bout would be a while off. So I'm saying Cotto in terms of matchup potential.

But if Floyd was on the list then he would be tops hands down.
