No this is not another PBF hater thread. Killersheep's thread got me to thinking. And I realize that Mayweather would be stupid to fight Cotto now.

Why?

Because if he beat's Cotto now there will be nothing left for him to do. There will be no more fights worth making.

Williams is still too green. Mosley just lost and is too old. Margarito and Cintron are just not good enough. The rest are just not known enough.

There is nobody woth fighting at 140. There is nobody worth fighting at 154. All he could do is rematch fighter's he has already beaten for less money than the original fight made.

The way Floyd talks about Cotto is not like someone who is afraid and it is not like someone who thinks Cotto is unworthy. The impression I got was that he felt the time was not right yet. I think Floyd is a smart business man and he knows it is time to be patient.

Let Cotto establish himself as the undisputed king of 147. Let Williams blossom into the solid undefeated champion that he is bound to be (possibly even taking over 154 if he moves up). Lot all those unknown fighters get known. Let Cintron and Margarito demonstrate if they are truelly a threat. Let it zizzle, let it boil...... Just remember to stay in shape.

I think this is what Floyd wants to do. He is goint to let the red hot WW division sort itself out. He's going to wait till those up and comers get known. Then he is going to go after the top dogs from 140 to 154.

If he fights Cotto now, he will have no choice but to retire afterwards and I don't think he really wants to do that yet. He loves what he does and he is going to keep doing it.
