During a recent question and answer session on Yahoo Sports, WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. said that Shane Mosley will knock out WBA champ Miguel Cotto when the two fighters meet on Nov. 10 in New York's Madison Square Garden.
"I think Mosley knocks Cotto out cold in a very exciting fight. Cotto is a good young fighter. Beating guys who I've already beaten doesn't impress me. His promoter (Bob Arum of Top Rank) has protected him very well. That's why he doesn't speak for himself. But my record speaks for itself," Mayweather said.
Mayweather said he would consider a fight with Mosley if he gets by Cotto on Nov. 10, but also said Mosley had several opportunities to fight him and turned them down.
"When I beat (Ricky) Hatton, I would consider fighting Mosley, along with a few other options to include Oscar De La Hoya. Everyone knows that Shane has had a couple of opportunities already to fight me but chose not to. My fight with Hatton will be a very exciting fight for the fans," Mayweather said.
