Yes you are right is the same way Cotto needs Floyd so he can establish a legacy

You don't think it would make for a better fight down the road with Mayweather if Cotto unified with Williams first? Perhaps you're worried that Williams would beat Cotto? Personally, I think that Cotto would beat Williams without any controversy, but if you look at the $$$ that Mayweather has made in his last couple fights then even the most die-hard Cotto fan would agree that he's gonna need to do something huge (Mosley was huge, one more mega fight would get him there, imo) if he's gonna come close to bringing the kind of money that a Mayweather fight commands.
