Cotto is the BEST WW in the world. He may not have the Ring..

belt but at this point does it really matter. Baldo certainly wasn't the BEST WW in the world but he got his shot becuase Judah looked at him as a pushover un til he got his money fight with Mayweather.

Cotto's recent win over Mosley and his destruction of QUINTANA certainly proves that Cotto, right now, is the best WW in the world. Quintana was coming off a impressive performace against a fellow undefeated WW in Julio when Cotto KO'd him. And since then he has beatin another undefeated prime WW PW, who knocked Margarito off the top of the WW list.

Im not implying that Cotto is the "CHAMP" .but he certainly has proved that he is the best WW in the world.

I cant see how anyone can disagree with that.

How can you say that. Money Mayweather takes the #1 WW until taken out

another floyd n00b - how about redboy, that work too?

Cotto is a more active fighter right now than Mayweather which can only be an advantage to Cotto if and when their Mega Fight happens.

Mayweather's persona > Cotto's Persona as of now, which is a big part of Mayweather's popularity.

But Cotto is becoming a bigger name everyday and is slated to have 3-4 fights this year to Mayweather's...1 (trust me...I'm not counting Big Show at all LOL)?

Eventually Cotto's popularity will tap into Floyd's eyes and ears and the discussions will begin.

But like I've said before...the longer Mayweather waits, the more prepared Cotto is gonna be. The ball is in Mayweather's court.

some may disagree. Like they may feel Floyd is the best WW, even though he won't fight any....weird huh?

[No-mas-tias]

Mayweather is the best WW but the fact that he's avoiding Cotto may make him #2 behind Cotto if he doesn't fight him by the end of 2008.

[SkillspayBills]

You do realize there are still LEGITIMATE WW's Cotto hasn't beaten right? Marg, Cintron, Clottey. They are still out there for Cotto to face. FLOYD is the best WW in the world but he still has to prove it himself.

Floyd's popularity is based off of fighting popular fighters. Oscar, Hatton, and Gatti. The only way Floyd continues to pull in big ppv numbers, is if he continues to ride the coat-tails of these popular fighters. Hence the reason his followers are claiming that he wont fight Cotto until Cotto reaches "superstar status" It's a shame though, because all this time Floyd is wasting, he could've been taking fights in order to build up his own following/fanbase. Then he would'nt need to wait for other fighters to become main****** stars in order to profit off of thier popularity.

man we just beat this topic into oblivion dont we...

IMO... cotto is the more established WW fighter...

but he isnt an actual better, more talented, more capable fighter than Floyd.

And I sincerely believe he will lose if he ever fights Floyd.

But I will say hes the more active fighter at WW, and at least trying to fight other top 10 WW's.
