You make an excellent point. To add to that, Mosley is looking for that one big payday and only Mayweather will get that for him. Thus, it is very important that Shane defeats Cotto and I am sure the possible payday with Floyd is giving him all the motivation he needs to do so. However, if Shane loses to Cotto, he can still make some money by fighting Cintron or Williams. And not only that, those fighters, in my opinion, defeat Shane if he ever got in the ring with them. Remember, they are both tall and strong, two qualities that Shane has problems with (see Forest and Winky Wright fights).
