Shame on Ring Mag and Shame on the WBC!

How is Ricky Hatton not a weltwerweight?

Ricky had only fight at Welter Weight against Collazo.
Everyone thought Ricky lost that fight and his face showed proof of it. He was chased back down to JR. Welter Weight.
End of Story.

He was former welterweight champion of the world.

Got a gift. Collazo was robbed and Ricky was afraid to rematch. Some Welter weight that was.

By the way who are all these true welters that Cotto has faced?

Cotto has only been a welter since DECEMBER of 2006 that is a little over a year.

He beat Quintana who was a welter admittedly, to win a VACANT belt vacated by the previous welterweight champ Ricky Hatton.

99 % of Quintanas fights have been at Welter Weight. Why do you keep bringing up that Jr Welter Weight Ricky Hatton. RICKY IS NOT A WELTER WEIGHT. 99.8 % of
Rickys fights have been at JR Welter Weight. BTW, Did you miss Quintana beating Williams? *Cough*

Then he beat Oktay Urkal who spent his entire career at LIGHT welter

Oktay was a mandatory, who became a Welter in 2005.

Then he beat Zab Judah who I think was a welter, but Floyd FOUGHT HIM ALSO

Come Setp, it will be nearly TWO years since Floyd has faced a Welter Weight. Get that thru your skull.

Then he fought Shane Mosely who came DOWN from 154 lbs

Shane has had 10 Welter Weight fights and plans to stay at 147 this makes him a Welter. Ricky is not a real Wetler.

So Cotto by your own estimation has fought 2 welterweights.

No, this is by your ASStimation. If you look hard enough, you will see that all of his opponents are and have been campaingning at 147.
Ricky is again campaigning at 140 what don't you understand about this? I thought you were smart.

Floyd has fought Judah and Baldomir which makes two also.

In Sept, it will have been nearly TWO years since he has faced a Welter Weight. You dont get it?
Cotto has not been a Welter Weight as long as Floyd and Ring mag claim he has. there is about a years difference.

Floyd has fought 4 times at 147 lbs facing two welters, Cotto has fought 4 times at welter also, again fighting only two welters.

You are making shit up by saying Cotto is not fighting Welter weight every fighter Cotto has faced at Welter continues to campaign at Welter.
Ricky is campaigning at 140 Jr Welter. Cotto has only been a welter for about a year.

Furthermore his next fight is against Alphonso Gomez who has campaigned mostly at 154 recently.

Gomez has had 15 fights at Welter Weight and he plans on staying there.

Hope this helps

No, you did not help. I helped you though.
