Current Rankings

1. Sugar Shane Mosley (46-5)


Without a dance partner for a big fight later in the year, Mosley is still hoping he can get Floyd Mayweather to fight him if he beats Juan Manuel Marquez. Mosley also would love to fight Manny Pacquiao and said he is willing to drop below 147 pounds to get him in the ring. If he can't get either of them, where would he go? Andre Berto?
Next: TBA.


<CENTER><HR width=400></CENTER>2. Miguel Cotto (33-1)

After a massive falling-out with his uncle and trainer, Evangelista Cotto, Miguel opened camp in Tampa, Fla., with assistant Joe Santiago in charge as they prepare for this summer's title defense against Joshua Clottey on HBO at Madison Square Garden.
Next: June 13 vs. Clottey.


3. Joshua Clottey (35-2)

How much did Clottey want to face Cotto? He gave up his alphabet belt to make it happen. That tells you how hungry Clottey really is.
Next: June 13 vs. Cotto.


4. Andre Berto (25-0)

In his third title defense, Berto scored a virtual shutout of junior welterweight titlist Juan Urango on May 30. Berto won easily, but you couldn't help but hear the booing late in the fight because Berto did a bit too much holding and running around.
Next: TBA.


5. Luis Collazo (29-4)

Now that Berto is safely through his fight with Urango, hopefully he will give former titleholder Collazo a rematch of their outstanding slugfest, a fight that could have gone either way.
Next: TBA.


6. Zab Judah (37-6)

The former champ returns to face Matthew Hatton (Ricky's brother) in what should be a destructive victory on the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Juan Manuel Marquez HBO PPV undercard.
Next: July 18 vs. Hatton.


7. Carlos Quintana (26-2)

For the second time this year, the former titleholder pulled out of an ESPN2 main event on short notice. Quintana was supposed to face Danny Perez in a junior middleweight bout on June 5 but withdrew, claiming he has the flu.
Next: TBA.


8. Delvin Rodriguez (24-2-2).

With Clottey relinquishing his version of the title to fight for Cotto's belt, Rodriguez has been ordered to face Isaac Hlatshwayo in a rematch of their elimination fight draw, but this time it would be for the vacant belt. A purse bid is scheduled for June 12.
Next: TBA vs. Hlatshwayo.


9. Isaac Hlatshwayo (28-1-1)

South Africa's Hlatshwayo drew with Rodriguez in an eliminator in South Africa in November. A rematch has been mandated to fill the title Clottey vacated, and it could be in the United States.
Next: TBA vs. Rodriguez.


10. Vyacheslav Senchenko (29-0)

Senchenko claimed the silly WBA "regular" title in April with a unanimous decision against countryman Yuriy Nuzhnenko, making him the mandatory challenger for Mosley. Don't hold your breath for that fight to happen.
Next: TBA.

Depending on how I do with the early UFC card I may go heavy on Clottey.

 

[Hamilbet]

Saw this and thought it wraps up the feel of the fight.

"Cotto is the favorite. Besides the power, Cotto has better boxing and defense than Clottey. The problem for Cotto, however, is the stamina problem, and that played a BIG part in his demise against Margarito. A lot of people seem to forget that. But I think the fight will be huge surprise for a lot of people, not because of Clottey, because of Cotto. I think Cotto will dominate over Clottey. Yeah, Clottey has a rock chin, and this fight will be the most important one in his career, but Cotto is a well-known, devastating body puncher and he has been here before."

I'll be putting money on Clottey mainly for the value and for the fact I'll be drunk and gives me a reason to yell at the TV. I think this is gonna be a great welter fight.

I agree the price is definitely right for Clottey. This whole thing about the puerto rican day parade and the whole place pulling for Cotto is way overrated too.

had a feeling cotto was going to win but there wasnt much value on him so had a few dollars on clottey....

so did i. did you see the fight? close, split decision coulda gone either way. if clotty doesn't get knocked down in the 1st, he probably woulda won. excellent fight anyway, we were very close to cashing a nice dog

Clottey clearly won that fight..... I also got screwed on the undercard. I had Rodel Mayol at +550 it was a draw and he clearly won that fight. Judges killed me today. It started in the UFC with Silva then these two matches.....
