His promoters aren't going to put him in with Mayweather until he's ready. Cotto is 3 years younger than Floyd. The longer Cotto can wait, the older Floyd will get. Cotto is smart to wait a while. That fight has not even been a possibility up to this point.

The Hatton/Mayweather thing has been argued a million times here in a bunch of different threads. I think the majority of people here, even some Hatton fans, agree that Hatton doesn't really want to get in the ring with Mayweather. Floyd is just way too fast and skilled for him.

Mosley fought Vargas last year at 154. After the second Vargas win, Mosley announced that he was going back down to 147, but that he wouldn't fight again until 2007. Mayweather needed to find an opponent, and since Mosley was taking time off, Baldomir, who had the belts, was the choice. After beating Baldomir, Floyd did the right thing in accepting a mega-payday against DLH. There has never been an opportunity for Floyd to fight Shane to this point. If Floyd beats DLH, I expect him to seek out Mosley, and vice versa, because that would be the biggest payday out there for both guys.
