Mandatory, who's next for Mosley thread.....

[Puerto Rican Punch]

He should fight Cotto, assuming that Cotto wins in February (hoping there are no surprises). The first fight was very competitive and this could be a good opportunity for unification match.

I am sure Margarito will be around looking for an opportunity to fight for the title again, but I guess the fight Cotto - Mosley should be the most attractive for this summer.

I think that if Floyd returns will be for fighting Pacman, if he beats Hatton.

Berto (WBC 147 title holder)
Josh Clottey (IBF 147 title holder)
Rematch Cotto
Rematch Margarito
Paul Williams
PAC (#1 p4p)
Forrest (WBC 154 title holder)
Santos (WBA 154 title holder)
PBF
RETIRE ON TOP!!

Let's try to eliminate them one-by-one.

He's not going to retire. We all know that.
He's not fighting Santos, no money in that.
He's not fighting Pac, since Pacquiao is fighting Hatton in May and is therefore not available until late '09.
Paul Williams is fighting Winky in April at 160, so he's not available for a while either.
I think Berto's handlers will put him in against an easy opponent next after the tough fight with Collazo, so he's not an option.
He's not going to rematch Margarito, this fight was WAY too one-sided. If you're Margarito, you'd rather just rematch Cotto.
Clottey is a good fighter who brings no money or fans, so he's doubtful.
Forrest doesn't bring much money and we already know he's a terrible style matchup for Shane.

So really... there's 2 legit options. A rematch with Cotto (contingent on the Cotto-Margarito rematch not happening) or a fight with Floyd.

I think you are right about Floyd!

Mosley: I want mega-fights! | Fightnews

Winner Pacquiao/Hatton vs Winner Mosley/Mayweather

[Boom Boom]

Clottey would be a great fight, Mosley said he only wants super-fights though so I doubt this will happen. Mosley-Mayweather or Mosley-Williams will be next imo.

[Hairdoo]

Mosley said he only wants mega fights from now on which to me says ONE fight a year (he only fought once last year), so the timing of Pac v Hatton or Cotto v Margo isn't an issue he won't care if his next fight is late 09 or early 2010.

My guess is Floyd will unretire for Mosley then the winner of Pac v Hatton. Shane will get beat by Floyd and then fight the winner of Cotto v Margo.

I hope...

actually i'd prefer Floyd got beat by one of the above, a close trilogy with Floyd would be nice.

[Dean Duke]

From a neutrals point of view a rematch with Cotto wets the appetite, if Shane can fight at that pace and throw straighter shots than he did against Margarito he has more than a chance to even the score.
