He beat Vargas in a rematch but no one really considered it good victory, because it was obvious Vargas was shot to bits, in fact after the 2nd Vargas fight there was no talk of Mayweather vs Mosley happening because Mosley had done nothing at Welterweight in years. His comeback vs Collazo was at Welterweight and he shut out Collazo in impressive fashion. Then there was talks of Mayweather vs Mosley happening but Mayweather had to get past Oscar De La Hoya first. Alot of people were undecided who was the number 1 Welterweight to fight Mayweather so Cotto vs Mosley met and the winner would fight Mayweather, Mosley lost and now it looks like Cotto vs Mayweather will happen pretty simple.
Obviously you don't follow boxing very closley.
Mosely had 2 fights at welterweight after being defeated by "Winky".

The fight could of happened. Instead Mayweather bottles out and fights Sharmba Mitchell. More than likley because he was scared he would lose.
Mayweathers score against "Golden Boy" would show a good reason for Mayweather to be scared of Mosely.

Oh yes i do i know exactly who he fought at Welterweight. David Estrada, Jose Luis Cruz, both 10 round fights, fact is no one really thought Mosley was a top name anymore after losing by wide margin in the first fight to Wright, and although judges had it closer the 2nd time a round Wright still easily beat Mosley. There was no talks of Mayweather vs Mosley happening until Mosley beat Collazo.

There was no talks of Mayweather vs Mosley happening in 2005, so where are you getting that Mayweather bottled out of Mosley fight ?? I don't think you follow boxing because Mayweather had a fight scheduled with Oscar De La Hoya in May correct ?? Mosley did beat Collazo in February in impressive fashion. Then there was talks of Mosley fighting the winner of Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr fight, but a lot of people also thought Cotto deserved his shot at the winner of Floyd Mayweather vs Oscar De La Hoya. So Cotto vs Mosley arranged a fight, by that time Mayweather had beaten Oscar De La Hoya, so the winner would fight Floyd Mayweather Jr, Mosley lost and Cotto will more than likely be getting his shot.
