Marg made the mistake of waiting on Floyd,Cotto is not doing the same. Let Floyd keep ice skating/fake fight and lying about how much he's making/making rematches which just diminish,add ZERO to his legacy.Let Cotto take on the real challengers at WW and make a name for himself in an uber hot division.

As long as Cotto keeps winning,all roads at WW lead to him.
Good post but if Cotto wants to be considered the best he needs to fight Floyd. Mayweather is already considered the best fighter p4p. So in my opinion he NEEDS Floyd more than Floyd needs him.

In my previous post I was stating that Cotto needs to continue towards a Floyd fight instead of a Mosley rematch which is the title of this thread. I think in early 09 we'll get Cotto/ Mayweather which is the fight at 147 that everyone is wanting.

I disagree,they both need each other. Floyd needs to show he wnats to fight the best IN HIS OWN WEIGHT CLASS and Cotto needs to fight P4P number 1. Floyd hasn't fought a legit WW for over a year,and it'll be 2 by the end of this year. And after the Oscar rematch,Floyd will have no other big $$$ matches left other than Cotto(unless he seriously goes ahead with the shambles Hatton rematch)
I disagree, if Floyd retired today he would leave as the #1 p4p guy... fact! Although I would love to see him face Cotto he doesn't necessarily need him. Floyd has already reached the top. Would it be better for his legacy? Yes, but theres always gonna be some guy that someone thinks has been ducked. Take Leonard/ Pryor for example.

A Mayweather retirement would not install Cotto as the #1 p4p guy, not even close! Guys like Pacquiao, JMM, Calzaghe would all still be ahead... so IMO I feel Cotto needs Mayweather more to prove his position, something Mayweather has already achieved!

But I still feel we'll get Mayweather/ Cotto in 09 then once Floyd has beaten Cotto it'll be interesting to see who he's ducking next
