    Bilbo, aside from the Nonito rant, Mosley has had a better career, but how can you argue his recent performances were any better than Cotto's? Cotto has faced all comers at welterweight and beat two of the three in the top three (Mosley and Clottey). Before the Margarito fight, Mosley had a completely lackluster fight with Mayorga where he arguably was winning by maybe one round, before the 12th.

    Fuk P4P. Mosley and Cotto are No.1 & 2 and thats a great reason, if any, for a rematch.

    REMATCH BABY!!
    Cotto didn't stand still. He fought every single fighter out there...and he still is doing same.

    The Margarito win for Shane may indeed put him in the number one spot, but it is a tough call because Cotto beat Mosley and Clottey. Cotto should be number, for sure, if he beats Collazo, Berto, or Manny.

    I give credit to Cotto for fighting all-comers but he has NOT fought EVERY single fighter out there. Mosley, Clottey, Judah & Quintana are impressive, but really at least 2 of those guys should not be ranked there as they haven't fought at 147 in over a year. The fact is Cotto narrowly beat Mosley (I had it 115-114 for Cotto) & Clottey (114-113 Clottey), whilst Mosley decisively beat & KO'd Margarito, which was unthinkable beforehand, who made Cotto quit. Now, admittedly there are severe doubts over Margarito's win over Cotto by virtue of his gloves, but there are none over his chin, which Mosley broke, & Cotto threw all he had at & couldn't finish.

    Mosley already beat Collazo and would have NO trouble beating ANY of Cotto's previous opponents.

    Cotto - Mosley could have gone either way

    Margarito beat Cotto convincingly.

    Shane raped Margarito from start to finish

    Therefore Shane is the best welterweight and until Cotto beats him he shall remain the best .
