    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.

    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.

    Sod the likes of Mosley, Floyd should be fighting the young, hungry Welters and stop fighting the big money guys if he wants to keep his No.1 Welterweight status.

    Cotto is the number 1 welteweight for me. Floyd beat Judah on PTS while getting knocked down, Cotto knocked him out. Floyd beat a shot to fuck Mitchell and a Jr welter in Ricky Hatton. Cotto beat Shane Mosely and Carlos Quiantana. Carlos Baldomir is hardly a great as well. Cotto without doubt has fought the better competition at WW.

    You dismiss Hatton now. But before you were swearing up and down that Hatton was going to beat Mayweather.

    Ah yea leftylee i agree with you too bro.... but certainly Floyd at this moment he is the #1 P4P list , but this Year if Floyd dont make a competitive fight in WW Div. , IMO he will loss the position #1 and i know that he will not going to make it , but we have to give the opportunity and is true Floyd defeated in JWW by UD Maussa , Victoriano Sosa , Corley , Judah and others , While Cotto defeated all of them KO , for me he is the #1 too , i dont give a mind if Foyd fight again with Oscar , but there is a list that tell you who is the #1 P4P.......

    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.

    Precisely, if he really wanted to make money he'd be fighting more often and it wouldn't be a case of either/or.

    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.

    If Margarito defeats Cotto then he should get the next shot at Floyd, maybe a Cotto/ Mosley rematch could determind Mayweathers next opponent after that.

    Whoever wins Cotto/ Margarito I'll be interested in seeing them in against Floyd
