The PTP that obliterated Winky, who outclassed Mosley twice, would better the Mosley who obliterated Margarito. :yep
And the Margarito, who beat Cotto, beat the Mosley who lost to.....oh wait. The Pavlik, who beat Taylor, beat Hopkins who lost to.....oh wait.
He's not ready but his time is up. I don't think he will ever be ready for a Mosely type opponent. good fighter but he just has too many flaws. I see him giving Shane some trouble early with his speed but as the fight gets into the middle rounds Mosley's experience and class take over and he stops him in the 9-10 rounds
He's got a belt around his waist which means that he is claiming to be the best in the world. Why make such a claim if you are not ready to fight the best.
The circumstance of winning the title is what's relevant. Berto won a vacated belt against a virtually unknown fighter. He shouldn't have to apologize for it and the fans shouldn't elevate him over a technicality. I think most knowledgeable fans would omit him from any discussion of who the best welter is.
Then why bother with the belt? Everybody agress you are not the best, you are not willing to fight the best and they are just taking away a piece of your purse every time you fight.
Because he doesn't have to. Collazo is the #1 contender and it's been reported that he is who Dibella is trying to match Berto against before year's end. Besides up until recently Mosley wanted nothing to do with him as was the case with Cotto and Mayweather.
