    Forrest
    Wright
    Spinks
    Wright ain't making 154 anymore IMO.

      I think its cotto i mean people dont realise how smart of a boxer he is and how much power he has.
      Mayweather is a very technical boxer but so is cotto thats why he could rival him more then anyone and if mayweather is inactive to long then takes a fight with cotto hes going to have alot of trouble.
      Because cotto is a late starter so he would have to be prepared for a long night and hes done alot of damage to his last opponents.
      How he broke down judah was sickening he didnt even knock him down first time judah jus dropped from being so tired and beat up this is the same judah that gave mayweather alot of problems.
      Mayweather has trouble with pressure fighters imo and there isnt any better then cotto at the moment that whole ricky hatton myth was just for fans and money we all knew ricky wudnet win.
      zab hurt cotto and ya man went low! Let the year play it self out cuz Cotto-Mayweather is something for 2009!

        Could be right, but I remember him saying he;d even go down to 147 if DLH would fight him back when he was persuing that fight. Wink's always performed well and hasn't really seemed to ever be drained by making weight, the only fight that comes to mind is the Hopkins fight, but that was because of all the weight he carried into the ring.

          It would take a hell of a lot of money to get Winky to make that weight. In other words, Oscar money. It's been over three years since he made that weight and it just isn't in his best interests.

            I think Cotto is capable of beating Mayweather. I think Berto has the style to beat Mayweather but is too inexperienced at the moment. De La Hoya will give him problems again. Mosley would give him problems as well.

              Yeah, well pretty much every fact in boxing has an asterisk by it that means that it is not true if Oscar De La Hoya is willing to fight them.

                Mayweather wouldn't have a ton of trouble with Berto's lack of defense. He is an offensive machine, but Floyd's defense and counterpunching would rack up the rounds for him.

                He also seems to be kind of weak-chinned... Cosme Rivera.

                      zab judah i cant believe i said it but judah IF mayweather sr can focus him then hopefully he'll become mentally stronger, his speed is already immense and his has decent power and hopefully he'll have a defense to match with Mayweather sr. in his corner. It's a big if though.
