Can't say I understand your whole point? Exactly why would you want De La Hoya to fight Cotto first? What does that have to do with Floyd Mayweather? Oscar De La Hoya is a 154lb fighter. Mayweather is/was the ring and WBC WW champion.

Are you saying you want De La Hoya to soften up Cotto first? Test the waters for Mayweather?

Who would want to see Mayweather fight Williams next? Paul Williams gained some of his respect as a major force back Saturday night but still he has a resume of stiffs, a close win over a flat Antonio Margarito, a loss of his title in his first defense and he caught Carlos Quintana with a good shot in round one of their rematch. He is not exactly on the P4P list right now is he?

I don't think Andre Berto has fought a ranked opponent yet? There is no one screaming for a fight with him and Cintron let alone Mayweather. The fight for the vacant WBC title is not even against a top 10 guy. Maybe top 10 by WBC but what does that really mean?

Nobody is calling for a Mayweather Vs Berto or Mayweather Vs Williams bout now or even in 2 years from now.

Floyd Mayweather has seen the way Cotto has walked through guys over the last few years. He has seen that even the speed of Judah and Mosley did nothing to nullify Cotto. He is no Johnny Come Lately. He is getting out when he has the chance.
