    No

    Floyd is under contract with HBO, Tszyu is under contract with Showtime.

    That right there almost makes the fight impossible since neither network wants to risk losing there guy.

        Its better for Arum to have Cotto vs Mayweather than Tszyu vs Mayweather. If Cotto beats Tszyu then he's a top guy.

        Cotto and Mayweather are both Arum fighters so that means he would get all the profit.

        Floyd has never ducked any fighter and he's always gone out of the way to make tough fights.

          I read an interview with Jeff Mayweather, Floyd's other Uncle, and he seems to have his doubts...However, I think Mayweather can beat him.

                  Then your thinking wrong

                  here is Larkin's quote
                  It is important to note that several attempts were made for Gatti to fight Tszyu while Gatti did not have a conflicting contract and was in fact a free agent. Those offers resulted in Main Events rushing to close a deal with HBO that effectively makes this fight impossible to take place.
