    What do you think guys?? Margo has one of the best chins in the business today... If Cotto somehow KO this guy.... Sorry Money May but perhaps in the P4P you'll still be up there but in the WW list you have to come down IMO... :bbb

    Actually I cant because Floyd is the linear Champion no matter who Cotto beats.

    Without hesitation, same with Margarito if he pulls out the upset!

    It's one thing to be the champion and it's the other to be the best guy in the division.

    I know you have been here in a while but comon... Even if Floyd is the linear Champ at some point we have to draw the line with the BS that he is not fighting real oponents who have a legitimate chance to beat him at WW... Or at least a fight that we all (boxing fans) want to see.

    True but Champion is exactly that the Champion he sits above everyone else until he loses it.

    KO'ing Margo is not a factor in wheter or not Cotto leapfrogs Mayweather. Margarito is there to be hit, he doesn't have much of the may in terms of defense. If Cotto were able to KO Margarito, that would only tell us that he can hit harder than thought. So if you're not going to put Cotto ahead of Floyd if he wins a lopsided decision against Margo, then I see no reason to put him ahead of him if he KO's Margo.

    Fraud would still be the linear champ, but the winner of Cotto-AM is the most proven WW.

    Yes, I would.

    His resume would be undeniably better than Floyd's at welterweight. Plus I put him ahead of Mayweather in H2H terms.

    At Welter I Already Have Him Higher Than May...shane Mosley Alone Is Wayyyy Better Then Anything Floyd Has Ever Came Close To....

    Quintana Would Be Favored Over Judah And Baldo....
