    ACTUALLY this guy has the RIGHT idea Napo - Cotto has to keep establishing himself as a guy who goes out and makes fights, real. effin. fights.

    if floyd goes out and fights an aged ODLH, a cotto-conquered mosley and aged tito - he wouldn't know what to do with a young lion in cotto if he's not # 1 priority on floyd's calendar.

      I like the idea of a Judah/Mosely fight.

        I don't think Floyd is gonna fight younger fighters any soon. It is risky and he just wanna chill out and slowly move into retirement. If he were to fight Cotto he would have already. Lets face it, PBF is turning 31 this month and Cotto is still 27. In 09 Cotto will be in his physical prime, he won't be better, ever and Floyd Mayweather will be an old man for the welterweight division (funny how 30 is young for an Heavyweight but old for a WW) at 32 years of age. Knowing the businessman and the brain PBF is, he will not risk his perfect resume if he's older when he can make good money vs people more his own age.

          With the exception of a few fights that are already scheduled (Cintron/Marg), (Marquez/Pacman), (Pavlik/Taylor), it looks like i will be tuning in to watch alot of free UFC fights. At least u get to see the best take on the best in that sport. They have IFL on channel 9, Elite-XC on Showtime, and UFC on the Spike channel. Looks like boxing is going back to pre 07.

            Cotto just fought the oldest mofo at 147..and had to run from him..lol

            Stop hating..

            Sheguel didn't want anything to do with Floyd at 140..and the fact that he's reached so far down for a SCAB like Gomez just proves he'll never fight Floyd at 147..

            Fighting that bum in no way prepares him for Floyd..

            Cotto takes so much punishment you can say he's much older than his 27 years..not to mention all the weight he has to take off just to fight much smaller guys..

            Mortifying himself just to fight way below his normal weight adds years to a him..

            He has taken a LOT MORE punishment at 27 than Floyd would if he fought until he was 50..

            Not having a defense is a mofo..

              The only time that cotto ran in the fight with mosely was in the last 2 rounds, when he had the fight won, whereas floyd will run through and entire fight.

              and cotto doesnt weight drain to get to 147. he did to get to 140, but 147 has been pretty easy for him to make. cotto fights like a guy who is hungry, and if that requires taking punishment, he will take it.

                  the first part of your sentence right before the comma can ne argued for, but the next part after the comma kills the whole sentence. find me a fight where floyd runs the entire fight and post it on here. until then, stop hating boy.

                      I'm shocked that Judah's name is even worth anything anymore. I feel like he needs to beat someone decent in order to be considered with the real contenders again.
