The Champs
Shane Mosley WBC
Miguel Cotto WBA
Kermit Cintron IBF
Paul Williams WBO

The Contenders (not in order)
Antonio Margarito
Alfonso Gomez
Zab Judah
Andre Berto
Luiz Collazo
Carlos Quintana
Jose Antonio Rivera
Joshua Clottey
Demetrius Hopkins
Ricardo Mayorga (if he drops down after Vargas)
Oscar De La Hoya (I guess?)

Some proper contender fights could be made here I reckon, too many match ups to be made! I see it as the best division at the mo, wha u think? What current champ is most likely to clean up the division if any? Cotto looks so strong at welterweight but I'd like to see how he handles Cintrons power, could Williams outwork him, Williams didn't really hurt Margarito at all in their fight from wha i cud tell. Maybe Mosley will beat Cotto before them 2 get to fight him anyway. Blah debate debate.:patsch

There's been talk that Margarito could be a possible opponent for Oscar if he drops down at welterweight, what with his wanting go out having taken part in a "war" before he retires, surely Margarito could oblige. wonder if Oscar is still strong at Welterweight tho...

Welther, Super feather, and Super middleweight are all good.

Any division that has popular Americans In becomes the hottest to the rest of the boxing world too.

Jose Antonio Rivera is actually Light Middle and Demetrius Hopkins actually Light Welter but if you're going to include them because they're close, you could also include Mayweather and Hatton

Yeah, the HW division wasn't called weak when Americans were dominating. :roll:

It has nothing to do with guys the caliber of Sam Peter and Oleg Maskaev being ranked in the top three, a 38 year old former middleweight champ and Shannon Briggs being recent inhabitants of the top ten, and Hasim Rahman a little more than a year ago being ranked in the top 3.
