    Every weight division would be fantastic if the damned promoters and ABC's would get out to the way!

    The welterweight division is the best but the lightweight division looks definitely stacked.

    135 is equally packed.

    JMM, Pac, Guzman, Casa, Juan Diaz, Katsidis, Nate campbell, Julio Diaz, David Diaz, Sta. Cruz, Amir Khan and the posibility of Valero moving up.

    What do you people think of Cotto being able to unite the welterweight division if he is able to get past Margarito? You think he could beat the tall and lanky Paul Williams, despite being 5'7" and PW 6'2" and also the winner of Clottey-Mosley for the vacant IBF title?

    My Top 10:

    CHAMP: Vacant
    1. Cotto (WBA)
    2. Williams (WBO)
    3. Margarito (IBF)
    4. Mosley
    5. Quintana
    6. Cintron
    7. Judah
    8. Clottey
    9. Collazo
    10. Berto

    Mayweather vacated WBC so there's a good chance Berto will be fighting for it soon.

    I think 147 is the best division right now, because despite all the superstars moving up to 135, we haven't even seen them fight in the weight class yet, so their quality is just speculation until the end of the year.

    Also, if Cotto were to beat Margarito and Williams, he would have a good case for #2 P4P, since that would give him his first linear belt. He has belts in 2 weight classes now. Calzaghe has 2, and Pacquiao has 4.
