Pick the Best Scenario for Boxing

Any combination of these fights happening would be awesome for the sport, but what do you think is ideal for the sport?

[Kobe Bryant]

Here's one ideally Cotto would beat Mosley (which I don't think will happen). Which definitely makes him known at that point. Setting up a mega bout with Oscar De La Hoya. This would do huge numbers because of the respective fanbases. And it would be more action packed than Matweather vs. De La Hoya. So all of the hype for the fight would be lived up to.

Obviously assume the DLH opponent would win his prior fight...

3rd option because I think Mosley is the only guy in the division with a good chance of beating Mayweather. Cotto-Hatton would be an insanely good brawl, which Cotto would win. Taylor-Trinidad would be a good fight to get rid of Trinidad for good.

it looks like we have a winner already

[Gareth Ivanovic]

I like the first one because the winner's of the PBF/Hatton and Cotto/Mosely fight could fight each other for supremacy in the WW division. Then the Trinidad/RJJ fight would be good because both guys are at the end of their careers and the loser could go off into retirement and the winner could get one last chance. Then I wouldn't mind seeing Winky get that huge payday that he's worked hard for and you know your getting some good change when your fighting DLH.

why do people want a jones and tito fight, that is silly tito would get KILLED at that weight.

I thought about adding more options where Tito fights other fighters, but of the only three potential opponents being discussed--RJJ, Taylor and PBF--I couldn't even stomach putting a Tito-PBF option up there. It's an intriguing but wholly uncompetitive fight IMO. And PBF isn't going up to 160 so I don't think it's even realistic.

I would love Tito-Taylor, but I wanted it to be at 160 for the title (I think Taylor will beat Pavlik). Since Taylor is leaving the division, it would be a great first fight for him at 168 (Tito Sr. basically admitted that Tito wouldn't even make 160 for his first fight back at least), and a win for Tito would still be huge because Taylor would still be undefeated. I voted for that scenario, but I love option one too, for the same reason as IncuFan stated--a PBF-Hatton/Mosley-Cotto welterweight final four unification series would be loads and loads of fun.
