You fail to remember that Cotto was NOT a top welterweight contender when Floyd fought Baldo, only Margarito and Mosley was and Mosley already backed out of a fight with Floyd.
This is just getting so repetitive, like i said before i was one of Floyds fans that critisized him for NOT fighting Margarito. But this was not out of substitution for the Baldo fight. For me the Baldo fight got him the lineal title at 147 which is more important than a win against Margo at that time, but i expected him to fight Margo after.
And for obvious reasons Cottos win over Shane was better than Floyds over Baldo but this is with hindsight as his win looks greater now due to how bad he dismatled Margo.
