PBF is be spoke into retirement cause he knows his time is up! What time, the time of stepping up to the plate and start fighting. After the Oscar fight if he wins, He will be champ at 4 divisions. I'll give him props for that. But come summer 2007 time will come when he has no excuse not to fight Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams. By the summer if everyone keeps winning their bouts PBF will have to face SOMEBODY. Cotto would be WBA Champ and Maybe WBO Champ aswell if he beats Margarito in Spring 07. Mosley will be hopefully IBF Champ if he faces Cintron and beats him. Williams will be #1 or 2 by the WBC, he already no. 2, if not WBC CHamp cause PBF will vacate when he faces Oscar at a higher division. So the Champs at WW, hopefully will look like this WBC: Williams, WBA: Cotto, IBF: Mosley, WBO: Cotto or still Margarito if he doesn't fight Cotto. I dont think PBF would stick aroung at 154 so he would come bac to 147 and by that time the division will be on fire. He would have to MAN UP and take one the guys on. So in order not to face that situation he would rather retire from the game. SO he is being SPOKED Into retirement. AHA HA HA. would he face Cotto after he becomes a MONSTER in the division? would he face someone with same speed but more power than him in Mosley? would he face a stalker in Marg. or would he face someone with the wingspan of plane in williams?
I think out of the 4 names he will probably fight 1 of the them and that would be Williams.:boxing:
I want to know what ppl's opnions are now that some time has passed and we seen Cotto destroy Q, put out Urkal, & now is taking on Judah. I still feel Cotto will turn "Pretty Boy" into an "Ugly Girl"
Cotto doesn't have a top notch chin, and doesn't have the skill to beat Mayweather. If he did, Arum would of made this fight already.
Margarito, to slow, unskilled, but has a puncher's chance.
Shane Mosely, this would be interesting, and even at this stage of Shane's career, he might be able to beat Mayweather.
I agree. I think Mosley has a good chance.

If Cotto does fight PBF in fall or winter of 2007 He would be a MONSTER by then and PBF will get KNOCKED THE FUC OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:boxing:
If all goes well a Cotto takes care of business against Q, urkal & Marg. he will have the Chin for PBF, cause Q and Marg hit way harder than Fistfeather, I mean Mayweather. I dont think PBF has any power to ko Cotto, he might swell him up or cut him but not KO him. with all the experince of these fights Cotto will be more than ready to take on PBF.
PBF might not KO him you are definitely right, but Cotto can't win the fight if he can't land any meaningful punches. If you look at his fights, Cotto struggles against good technical boxers... in fact I think he will struggle mightily against Quintana and might even lose.

I pretty much agree. If Cotto ever got in the ring with PBF...it would be really ugly for him. Funny thing is I think Cotto knows that as well as Arum. I remember watching the Mayweather-Gatti fight and it showed Cotto sitting in the crowd and he looked petrified. I have never seen a top notch professional boxer look so scared while watching one of his competitors fight. They showed Hatton too and while he looked impressed, he didn't look scared like Cotto. I definitely give Margarito a decent shot to beat Floyd considering the power...but I still favor Floyd to win based on better skill level. The only place we differ is with Mosley...I think that a prime Shane Mosley gives PBF a really tough fight and maybe even wins. But today Mosely doesn't have it anymore. Although he still has speed, he rarely lets his hands go anymore and basically relies on throwing one punch at a time. This might work against a guy like Fernando Vargas but not Mayweather. Shane has always taken too many shots, its just now he doesn't have the offensive fire power to cover up the deficiency.
Differ ??? do you mean when I said that Shane still has a chance to win or did you think I was thinking that even a "prime" Mosley still would not favor?
If that is the case, a Prime Mosley, I might favor, if not just say out right "I favor a lightweight Shane Mosley vs a lightweight Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Shit, now you have me thinking about this matchup at lightweight. Shane was incredible at this weight.
