There needs a lot of work on his defense before this fight is even though of. Shane Mosley is fast but Shane is past his best. A lot of people are using the fact Cotto beat Mosley as a measuring stick on how he would deal with Floyd's speed, except it is not just the speed that is a factor. Pinpoint accuracy is one of the biggest weapons in Weather's arsenal.

I would put Miguel as the best welterweight in the division right now behind Floyd Mayweather just not in Floyds league quite yet. I am a big supporter of Cotto and I would hate to see him have a setback before he is ready
I agree that's why I've said I don't want to see this fight in 2008. But it's certainly the biggest potential rivalry in boxing. Let it build and in 09 it will be massive.
