        who is? Oscar does everything better than Cotto (quicker, better chin, hits harder, better boxer, more experience, knows what Mayweather brings to the table, and is bigger), I'll give Cotto stamina and a better pressure fighter, but i think Floyd shows thats pretty ineffective against him.

        I guess you can say Paul Williams based on his physical attributes, but he is kind of unknown, and we really dont know what he brings to the table so he dont deserve this fight yet. I think he'll have trouble with Quintanna.

        Actually I think Judah, a focused Judah, is the biggest threat to Mayweather but as of now he doesnt deserve a rematch.

              Better Chin? Even if it's true (Which I can't say definitively it is), it's irrelevant. He never trades.

              Better Boxer? Probably not true in 2008. De La Hoya did not have great movement in the last fight.

              Quicker? Not true.

              Cotto hits harder and throws more punches. I think that's more important than anything else.

                You cant say that his chin is better, are you kidding me? Cotto almost got put out at by Ricardo Torres (140), Corley (140), and Judah (147), while Oscars only been knocked out once by the reigning 175 pound champion of the world, and been in there with much much harder hitters.

                Cotto hits harder than Oscar?, maybe accumulitve punches, but the one punch power is to Oscar hands down.

                You see, Ima huge Cotto fan, but you cant deny the obvious. Him against Mayweather would be great, two undefeated fighters going head to head in their prime, a fight I would rather see than a rematch with DelaHoya, but i still think Delahoya is the biggest threat, and that might not be a big threat because Floyd is so good.

                  I don't want to get into semantics... but the fact that Cotto was "almost out" and didn't get put out means he has a good chin. I think you're thinking of Oscar in 1998 rather than 2008.

                    Mayweather won, then Mayweather knocked out Hatton to further cement his p4p status.

                    De La Hoya LOST, then, well did **** all and now thinks he should fight Mayweather again.

                    If it wern't for De La Hoya owning GBP, De La Hoya v Mayweather II would never happen.


                    In no way am i excited about this fight, i meant its not asif the first was great.

                    I want Cotto v Mayweather.
                    or Williams v Mayweather.


                    But that mong De Le Hoya is preventing this

                    Its not about who wins or whose the best in boxing. Its about who will sell PPV and get the most money from the public. FLoyd cant sell ppv with him and a relatively unknown (although more suitable challenger), he doesnt have the status he needs names like Hatton and Delahoya or Gatti. DeLahoya is like to household boxing name known to people who arent even boxing fans, so we dont meaningful real fights, we get to watch big names go at it when they feel like it. While real fighters who deserve a shot languish and wait for their turn someday at a belt.
