Mayweather next opponent

If Margarito beats Williams, he'll fight Cotto - then the winner looks like a good fight for PBF
Or he can get big money with Golden Boy promoting vs. Shane Mosley
I think he sits out a long while and waits for a really attractive money offer like one of these - Mosley may need a name win in the meantime too. I'd like to see him fight Joshua Clottey or Kermit CintronComment

Fight Mosley. The biggest fight that can be made in boxing besides for a DLH rematch. It shouldnt be that difficult. Split it 60-40, and do the damn thing already. The Cotto fight could be something huge, so you have to wait it out and hope that Miguel can beat Margarito.
If I had to guess, I would say that is what Floyd is probably doing, because IF Cotto can get by the winner of Williams - Margarito, the money would be huge. Not quite DLH huge, but big nonetheless.
Besides the biggest money fight that can be made right now, imo, is DLH v Cotto. That fight could do some serious damage in PPV sales.Comment

As far as I'm concerned there are 3 acceptable opponents for Mayweather's next fight.
1) Winner of Paul Williams - Antonio Margarito
2) Miguel Cotto
3) Shane Mosely
If he takes on one of these three guys in his next fight I promise to Mayweather fans to permanently shut up about Mayweather's opposition selection.
2. i dont know whos fault it is, but when mayweather's and mosley's camps talk, nothing happens. this fight has been talked about for years and is yet to happen and from what i hear, no progress is being made.
3. oscar has already refused a rematch with floyd. "been there, done that" is what he is reportedly said.
4. hatton's staying at 140. a wise choice. at 147, floyd would rip him apart.
really, the only fight that makes sense is one with mosley. cotto/margarito/williams are slated to fight each other, de la hoya says "no rematch", so sugar shane is the only one left in the welterweight-jr middleweight range.
but theres a few catches to that fight (in boxing, theres always a catch). talks for that fight keep falling apart, as previously stated. shane will turn 36 in september, so you cant really say hes in his prime either.
when you look at it, floyd's really in a no win situation. a fight with mosley will be hard to get, and shane's no spring chicken. but floyd has no1 to blame but himself for that.Comment

Fighting a real elite will only get him exposed as the fake that he is.Comment
