    Margarito, Cotto, Williams, Clottey, Judah, Mosley, Quintana, Collazo, Berto...

    That's some seriously tasty fights there.

    Yeah, best division IMO, followed by Lightweight.

    People now need to admit that Cintron isn't half as bad as he has been labled. He has only lost to Margarito, everybody else he has been knocking out cold. I would make Cintron a live underdog against Quintana, Judah, Cotto, and Berto. I think Williams and Clottey have the styles not to be troubled by a Cintron.

    :huh You're right though, Hatton wouldn't last long with that lot in his current state.

    Castillo's in there now as well; I very much doubt he will do anything at the weight and his age though. I think it's fair to say he's shot.

    I take complete confidence in saying that Cintron can knock Williams out cold if he gets the opportunity.

    I know that seems like a weird pick but I have always felt that way.

    What about the other divisions like middleweight, SMW, LHW, and heavyweight? How are they compared to the top 2 divisions in welter and light? Any good fights you see there yet?

    I don't think Cintron knocksout Williams, when Margarito was unable to.

    Cintron is a welterweight contender, but his biggest asset was rendered useless by a fighter who doesn't get phased by shots at 147. Cotto, Berto, Williams, Mosley, and especially Judah will feel Cintron's right hand.

    True but Margarito doesn't hit as hard as Cintron punch for punch. And as open as Williams is I don't know. He can't suffocate Cintron like Margarito did. As Quintana showed, Williams sucks inside.

    It's a good division at the moment, no doubt. Probably the strongest out there.

    Don't forget Cintron and, according to the many rumors, DLH and Pacquiao. :D
