I don't think Mosely has fallen out of the top 5 with his performance against Cotto.

My top 5 would be.

1. Floyd He's the F****** LINEAR welterweight champ and P4P number 1 in the world Gamo, your placement of Cotto at number 1 is just pure pretentiousness in my opinion.

2. Cotto, looked very impressive in 2007 going from hot prospect to bona fida p4p star. He's NOT above Floyd Mayweather though

3. Shane Mosely. I know he doesn't hold a belt and he lost his last fight but he showed enough imo to solidify himself as the best fighter in the division outside Cotto and Floyd......for now at least.

4. Paul Williams, I agree with you, he's a real stylistic nightmare for anybody in the division but lets see him in another fight before putting him above the big 3.

5. Antonio Margarito. Lost to Williams but still a huge threat in the division. Looked sensational last time out against Golden Johnson.

Then follows a pack headed by Cintron, Judah, Collazo, Gomez, Quintana, Berto
How can Mosley be top 3 ?? his only win at Welterweight in years is against Collazo. He gave Cotto good fight but he still lost and no way should he be top 3 Welterweight.
He lost a really close decision, actually closer than Margarito's loss to Williams in the eyes of most and Cotto is a proven p4p star. Besides which he finished the stronger of the two in his fight with Cotto and is the first fighter ever to really have Cotto on the back foot.

His 'only' win against Collazo was a former world champ in his prime who had in his previous fight beaten (in most people's eyes) Ricky Hatton.

He's still an exceptional fighter and showed against Cotto that he's still one of the very best fighters in the world.

Having him above Williams is a personal choice and I respect those who want to put Williams above him but it's certainly not a gross overrating as you seem to imply.

And there's no way in hell Cintron rates above Mosely, does anyone think Jesse Feliciano could have dictated the action against Shane like he did against Kermit?
