Sod the likes of Mosley, Floyd should be fighting the young, hungry Welters and stop fighting the big money guys if he wants to keep his No.1 Welterweight status.

Cotto is the number 1 welteweight for me. Floyd beat Judah on PTS while getting knocked down, Cotto knocked him out. Floyd beat a shot to fuck Mitchell and a Jr welter in Ricky Hatton. Cotto beat Shane Mosely and Carlos Quiantana. Carlos Baldomir is hardly a great as well. Cotto without doubt has fought the better competition at WW.
Well any heavyweight can make more money fighting Tyson then anybody else but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Cotto-Mayweather is bigger then 99% of fights out there and I don't believe for a second that it wouldn't be a record breaker everyone I talk to who knows boxing wants that fight.
Ah yea leftylee i agree with you too bro.... but certainly Floyd at this moment he is the #1 P4P list , but this Year if Floyd dont make a competitive fight in WW Div. , IMO he will loss the position #1 and i know that he will not going to make it , but we have to give the opportunity and is true Floyd defeated in JWW by UD Maussa , Victoriano Sosa , Corley , Judah and others , While Cotto defeated all of them KO , for me he is the #1 too , i dont give a mind if Foyd fight again with Oscar , but there is a list that tell you who is the #1 P4P.......

No, that is the kind of fight PBF needs to avoid. There are too many good welterweights in their prime right now. The only fight that makes sence is the Margarito-Cotto winner.
Psalm 144: Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle
As for Mayweather - Mosley,I wouldn't mind that match up at all except for the fact that there are better ones out there. Or maybe just a better one out there because the only one I'd want to see more then that is Mayweather-Cotto. So it's not all that bad of a fight and it's not like Mosley was exactly outclassed by Cotto.
It's PBF v the winner of Cotto V Margarito. PBF will beat Oscar again and then we should have the match up we all want to see. I think that will be against Cotto. Mosley is 37 in September! The used by date has expired for Sugar Shane i am sorry to say because he is one of my favourites, like Tszyu before him time catches up with you eventually. Any possible match up with Floyd could not happen until 2009 when Mosley will be pushing 38!!
i would love to see it, mosley can give anyone a tough fight.
Of course thats what should happen...but i dont think it will
Floyd now has the star quality to be able to dictate how often in a year he defends his title of "p4p king" and where he does it.
The guy has all the cards to play with and i honestly cant see him looking past a summer 2009 rematch with hatton at wembley stadium, both financially and in terms of floyd believing it would be an easier night than fighting the winner of cotto/marg.
Mayweather needs to fight Cotto/Margarito. No Hattons and no Mosleys, but the winner of Cotto and Margarito.
Word for word that is exactly how my post would have came out, had I not seen yours..
I will add though, Cotto vs Mayweather is going to be simply sensational...
I love Cotto's intensity and fight nature.. I think it is the perfect style to beat Floyd.... BUT, I do think he'll need to tighten up his game...
In no way did Zab look like beating Cotto, but with his speed he was able to pick some good shots. Had he had a little more power, or thrown them more freely, he could have really put the pressure on Cotto... Again, in no way saying Zab reallly threatened Cotto, but as Larry Merchant would say -
"Zab, is no Mayweather"
You can be damn sure Mayweather is going to pot Cotto with a lot of hard counters.. I just hope he is on his game..
After Mayweather takes on Cotto, he's free to fight whoever he wants after that and I will enjoy like every other fight...
