    Berto's handlers will take that WBC belt for hostage and keep him away from any threatening fighter.

    I think a rematch between Margarito/Williams is on the horizon, one of them will lose and I favor Williams in that one.

    If Margarito & Williams rematch do you think both Championship's will be on the line,
    or would someone have to vacate in order for it to happen?

    Who do you think would vacate?

    Clottey since he always gets injured.

    obviously Margarito will if the money is right, heck he did it with Cotto without even hesitating and he knew he was an underdog going into that fight.

    WBA?
    (Since you have Margarito vacating his WBA)

    I'm going to go with Berto here, unless two of the other three are facing each other.

    Well, Berto is the worse beltholder of the 4... but he's managed well, and I doubt he will fight against a legit threat until late 2009. So, I'd say Clottey if he fights in a unification fight against Margarito. Williams will be avoided by the top players, thus leaving him with weak competition..so he won't lose anytime soon.

    If Clottey gets into the ring with Margarito again he can kiss that belt goodbye.

    Berto as some others have said will be protected for a little while. He won't be fighting the top 5 anytime soon.

    Paul Williams, because he will step up into another weight class.

    I don't agree but I really want to see a rematch. There are no tornadoes in Africa.














    (ok I made that up, but I've never heard of any.)

    I dont know man, had Clotteys hand held up the first time Im not sure that were even talking about Margo right now.

    Its hard to say which will lose first. I think that Williams will have the shortest reign being that I doubt he will be able to make 47 much more past one or two fights. I think that Clottey will hold his belt for a while because no one is going to rush to sign him up.

    If Berto fights any of the other belt holders, I see him losing his belt. Nothing against Berto, I just don't think he is at the caliber the other have reached just yet.

    Why not a 4 man tournament to unify the belts with Clottey vs. Berto (Clottey expressed great interest in fighting Berto in the post fight Interview) and Margo vs. PW. The winners fight and unify the titles in the process. This would be similar to the one Don King put up in 01 with B-Hop, Tito, Keith Holmes and William Joppy. I doubt it would happen but it should. Oh yeah, PW wins the tournament.
