With Antonio Margarito out of the picture for the next year over alleged illegal hand wraps, a rematch with Miguel Cotto in the near future seems highly unlikely. With Margarito no longer a viable option, Shane Mosley has indicated he'd love to take Margarito's place and avenge a close decision loss back in 2007 to Cotto at NY's Madison Square Garden.
Although Mosley wants a rematch with Cotto, there is a Catch. The Catch? Mosley won't take the rematch if it's held again in New York (considered Cotto's home turf.)
Mosley recently tells Dan Rafael of ESPN.com that he is not willing to have a rematch with Cotto in New York again. "I won't be flying into New York if there's a rematch," said Mosley to ESPN, adding: "They'll be coming to Las Vegas or Los Angeles. He can fight in New York in June, but it won't be with me. This time, it will have to be on the West side. But I definitely want to fight Cotto again."
Men **** that, Mosley is not in Position to say shit. Cotto already beat him and is the bigger draw. Cotto can easily go, Berto, Clottey this year and leave Mosley out. So he better watch out on asking shit!!!!!!!!!!!
lol I agree in the end I think the decision goes to cotto chico
This would be a great rematch but they it should be as an unification bout. Have Mosley fight Clottey and Cotto take on Berto. They both should win and it will make for a much bigger fight. By the way Cotto will beat him again.
staples sounds good to me.the atmosphere was really good for his fight with marga.
it realy was lol their was a realy big crowd at hand, wasnt it a record breaking crowd?
Yeah, I'd agree on a November or so date with Cotto for Shane.
I don't think he cares about the layoff if he's going to make millions doing it.
He'd almost be dumb to have a match in between to end up screwing up a payday.
And also, it makes me wonder if Cotto would take a fight after Jennings when this fight is coming up.
Seems like champs start to lose that three fight a year agenda, when they start getting bigger fights.
I just hope this shit happens and both men are in the best shape of their lives.
Agreed on everything. But I think Cotto wants that June date on the eve of the PR parade. Whether it's a mandatory or Berto I don't know, but I would bet he fights on that night in MSG.
Cotto could do that and fight in MSG but Shane won't chase him.
Shane could probably run up to 154 or get Berto to fight him on the West Coast for good pay. HBO would buy it in a minute.
The thing is Golden Boy could make that shit happen. I know now Cotto would probably be his best payday but others could come close.
and the older you get, the stubboner you get, and that's probably the way shane is now.
lol I can picture shane :thinking: about his choices

I'm just goin by what Shane said. He openly said the only fights he's interested in are Floyd, Pac, Hatton, and Cotto. And right now it looks like Berto's lined up for Cotto.
Who at 154 is going to get Shane the money he wants? I agree he won't chase him, but like I said, I think he'll wait for him. I can see him letting things play out. If Cotto beats Berto in June, they'll probably fight in Vegas in October or November. But still that's a long ass layoff nad he's not getting any younger. But I think it's the most likely scenario at this point.
But my question is what does Mosley do if Cotto decides he'd rather fight in MSG than fight Mosley? With his age and the divorce he only wants big money fights. It's not like he'd fight Clottey, or take a busy fight. Being that Cotto is, IMO, his only viable option, he'd wait for 10 months. Is that something he really wants to do?
Obviously it's an easy question to answer if you realistically think Pac or Hatton would fight Shane; I don't think that would happen. So what else is out there for Shane?
And he's champ, but Cotto will be a champ to, and Cotto has a head to head victory over him. This fight should be 50-50, if Shane's looking for more he's crazy.
I agree with you I think in the end it will be up to Cotto.
cotto's possible and future fights.
1-Michael jennings (WBO TITLE)
2-Andre berto (WBO AND WBO TITLE)
3-Shane Mosley (WBO-WBC-WBA-LINEAR TITLE)
if this fights become reality and cotto wins them.we can have ourselves not only the WW king but the fighter of the year and possibly p4p #2 or #3.
