    I would love to see a welterweight tournament. It would be so exciting. Andre Berto, Cottley, and Zab Judah could get in there and make things interesting but either way I would love to see this happen. Fat chance though.

    I agree - a WW Tournament would be great with all the names above included.

    well in order to make it legitimate you only can have the top tier and the belt holders ...other upcomiong like Berto , and even Clottey...will not be included and Zab Judah after losing his last two fights against the top of the division took himslef out of the contension...

    Just the four belt holders plus shane mosely and antonio margarito would be a hell of a sight to see

    I think you are taking this as that I don't want him to face Cotto but I'm not. I want him to fight Cotto. I'm just saying there's no need for a tournament because 147 already has a true champ.

    fair enough,

    personally i think cotto should wipe out the division before fighting floyd, that would be huge.

    He looses vs a freak of nature and you call him terrible? I think he and floyd would be exciting. The bull and the matador

    That sounds great and I believe Cotto is capable of doing it. If he accomplishes that I'm sure PBF will take the fight.

    We already saw bull versus the matador when PBF caught Hatton and he ran into that ring post we don't need to see it again.:lol: Ole!!!

    I strongly disagree, becaus any of us just talking will not make it so..the only way to determine the man at 147 is by a tournament..like it or not Cotto, Paul Williams, Cintron, SSM and Margarito are all legitmate candiadtes for a toutnament..and we all can try to diz any of them..but the only place it can be determine is inside the 16 ropes..like it or not....you can talk all you want, I can talk all I want and it will not mean a thing...the way to determine wold be face to face competition...qand that is a fact we can;t denied
