Cotto - Mayweather!!!
Puerto Rico, Small Island, Big Champions!!!
I'd like to see PBF fight both Mosely and Cotto. I think both guys would have some questions for him, and I'd be interested in seeing his answers.
But if it's an either-or situation, I'd say Cotto is the man to fight at 147 right now. Anyone else and Mayweather should be ashamed of himself. There's dollars to be made there, and legacy. It's the fight that makes the most sense from any point of view, financial or career-defining.
I assume you mean after the DLH rematch? Cuz there's no way fighting Cotto rather than Oscar again would make any sense for Floyd. I mean financially(which is really what matters to a fighter), it would make more sense for Floyd to rematch Hatton in the UK... He'd make a lot more money than he would against Cotto after all.. I'm not saying I want to see either of these fights, but I really have a hard time criticizing a fighter for taking the obvious highest payday out there. The fact is Floyd really can't sell anything on his own, it has to be about his opponent at this point. And Cotto is no big sell just yet either.
These to in their primes at light weight - that I would wanna see
mosely would give floyd problems and ask certain questions that havent yet been completely answered by PBF.
I honestly think if they ever fought shane would have it in him to match floyd punch for punch and with shanes previous experience at 154 who`s to say he wouldnt potentially be able to dictate certain elements of the fight??
I used to want to see this very much, but after the Cotto fight, I'm not interested. Three years ago I would have loved to see it. Now I'm only interested in seeing him fight the Cotto/Tony winner.
I don't see how Shane's previous experience at 154 is a good argument, Mosley had few fights at 154, 1 against Raul Marquez which was No Contest, the other was a controversial decision against ODLH in there 2nd meeting, which Mosley didn't deserve, and then he got clearly beat twice by Winky Wright and both fights wern't close as Mosley was clearly out boxed. The others that are worth noting were against faded Fernando Vargas.
Well any heavyweight can make more money fighting Tyson then anybody else but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Cotto-Mayweather is bigger then 99% of fights out there and I don't believe for a second that it wouldn't be a record breaker everyone I talk to who knows boxing wants that fight.
If Margarito wins, who would you most want to see Floyd face? Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley or even another De La Hoya bout.
I have no interest in Mayweather - Margarito unless Margarito suddenly looks fast. I think Cotto would still be the fight but in that case I would love to see him fight Mosley.
Que Viva Puerto Rico

As someone mentioned earlier, at their primes at lightweight...Floyd vs. Shane would be a dream match up. Or the Shane that fought Oscar in their first fight vs. Floyd would also be pretty incredible. Shane is still a tremendous warrior (i had his fight with Cotto a draw), but he looked noticeably slower in the Cotto fight...and his blazing speed and athleticism where his biggest assets. He still would be no pushover against Floyd now...but Shane in his prime would be a tremendous challenge for Mayweather.
