    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.
    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
