Cotto is a credible opponent for anyone at or around 147-160. He's a borderline hall of fame boxer. He's got a good mix of talent and skills and he's a warrior. However, what makes his attractive as an opponent for Mayweather has nothing to do with his skills and all to do with his name and the money he brings to the table. I think there are several fighters at or around that weight that beat Cotto.

Like I said in another post, I don't believe Cotto has been the same since Margarito I. He seems fragile. In addition, I don't think he's any better at 154 than he was 147. I actually think at 154 he's probably more beatable because of his size. He's too small for a big junior middleweight.
Well the only challenge for Floyd at this point that might make him even remotely uncomfortable is Martinez at 160. I actually have a funny feeling he might go that route next. Roger hinted at it.
But beyond Pacquiao I cant think of a better fight at the moment than Cotto vs Floyd. His last fight he gave the young up and comer a shot at his throne and now he's giving it to a credible champion. I see nothing wrong with his opponent selection. (apart from the pathetic excuses both he and Pacquiao come up with for not getting it on but hey)
