    Nope. DLH and Margarito are better than anything on Cotto's resume. Add on Antonio Diaz and Luis Callazo and his resume beats Cotto's clearly. Cotto squeaked by a 36 year old Mosley and Clottey, his two best wins. Mosley destroyed Callazo, Diaz and Margarito and decisively beat DLH. Wilfredo Rivera is also a good win for Mosley at welterweight.

    Thats it? Thats all he is fought at welter? I dont see how he can qualify for the best welter in the past 10 years with a track record of two real
    welters? He might be the best at welter, but that is yet to be proven.

    Shane or Cotto? A rematch should decide it.

    Taking into account level of dominance displayed I think it is a better win. You could argue Mosley-Cotto should have been a draw.

    The Rivera fight was in '99. I think it's between Mosley and Cotto.

    Shane Mosley
    Wins:

    Oscar De La Hoya
    Antonio Diaz
    Shannan Taylor
    Adrian Stone
    Luiz Collazo
    Antonio Margarito

    Losses:

    Vernon Forrest
    Vernon Forrest
    Miguel Cotto


    Miguel Cotto

    Wins:

    Carlos Quintana
    Oktay Urkal
    Zab Judah
    Shane Mosley
    Alfonso Gomez
    Michael Jennings
    Joshua Clottey

    Losses:

    Antonio Margarito


    A case for Margarito is difficult considering the hand wraps, and the fact mosley and williams beat him clearly.

    totaly agree that floyd probably would have beaten them all

    to bad he still hasnt fought any yet

    oh yes therez still time

    floyd is probably trying this very minute to sign a fight with mosley im sure
