    Old Rankings:

    1. Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao
    2. Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao
    3. Victor Ortiz
    4. Andre Berto
    5. Mike Jones
    6. Kell Brook
    7. Paulie Malignaggi
    8. Jan Zaveck
    9. Shane Mosley ( If not retired, He is shot, Won't beat top guys :-( )
    10. Sebastian Lujan

    Leonard Bundu, Randall Bailey,Carson Jones or Viacheslav Senchenko could all be on that list too I guess.

    New Rankings:
    1. Floyd Mayweather (
    At one point I thought Pac, Not sure now )
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    3. Victor Ortiz
    4. Mike Jones
    5. Andre Berto
    6. Kell Brook
    7. Paulie Malignaggi
    8. Jan Zaveck
    9. Sugar Shane Mosley ( RETIRE!! )
    10. Randall Bailey

    Changes:
    Mayweather slightly gets 1#. Ortiz stays at 2. But could be from 3-5. Very close spots, With Jones's win to Lujan he go's between Berto and Ortiz at 4. With Lujan's bad performance verses Jones he falls from top 10 and Bailey replaces him.

    marquez proved how overrated that division was. More based on hype on characters.

    Manny almost cleaned out the division, then his super featherweight bounces up to welterweight and shows everyone how its done.

    It was a fun couple of years at welter IMO, but overrated in terms of talent.

    It is an overrated division because there is Pac and Mayweather. Sure you got Berto, Zaveck, Malignaggi ect but thats not too much.. But Amir Khan and Devon Alexander are moving up soon. That will help.

    Not really weak. You got Matthysse, Maidana, Bradley, Alvarado, Garcia, Holt, Morales, McCloskey, Prescott, and Alexander/Khan for now.
