Tony IS the most proven welterweight in the world and so deserves his shot at the best fighter in the world.

im sure the Cotto fans will probably disagree with me but Margarito has done far more to earn a shot at Mayweather than Cotto has.
what true welterweights has Cotto faced?
Quintana ,Mosley (a natural lightweight really) and that farce against Gomez.
Margarito deserves a shot a lot more than Miguel does but nobody is coming on websites arguing Tony`s case the way they do with Cotto. i think thats what mayweather was talking about when he said "nobody knows Margarito".
from a financial perspective what he said makes perfect sense if you think about it.The Margarito v Cotto fight is a perfect match to build up the winners profile going into a match with Floyd.
personally i think Tony will be too rugged and strong for Cotto.
i also think he`s the only welter out there that would have a chance with Floyd.
