    Im not too sure that Manny is going to get past Cotto. Im
    getting prepared for Cotto/Floyd in 2010. PLUS that fight
    is long over due anyway.

        I just want Mosley to get back into the ring, 1 year off can't be good for him.

            Berto has too many holes in his defense IMO to beat Mosley and all that clinching stuff he did against Urango won't work because Mosley is bigger than him and Mosley won't just wait for the referee to break them up, he'd work Berto's body in the clinches. I don't think Berto has the power to hurt Mosley either. So yeah, I got Mosley by knockout.

                Let's just see some good fights from Mayweather.
                DLH was older and past prime but it was a good fight.
                Hatton was limited but once again, good fight.
                I don't criticize him in the least for those.

                The choices of opponents preclude Mayweather from all time rankings but as long as he takes on a few more deserving welters I'll certainly appreciate him as the greatest of THIS time.

                Choices for me are Cotto/Pac winner. P/Will if he REALLY wants to step up (and start the path to All time greatness) and Mosley (if soon).

                I want to root for Floyd but I don't rate him any higher than before the Marquez fight. With his ability that was always a gimme.

                  lets be realistic,
                  berto got hit a lot, all the time from a slow collazo,
                  just think what a quick, experienced, powerful mosley will do to him.

                  mosley by stoppage in 6

                  shane has the speed and footwork to beat both berto and mayweather.

                    No not because of that. I just think Cotto is a lot stronger
                    and more diligent than the 3 previous fighters Manny has
                    fought. Cotto is not that past it that he should allow
                    Manny to over whelm him. If he does then it is what it is
                    but over all I think that Cotto should be able to take this
                    one if he comes in prepared and studied Manny.

                      Mosley foot work is not that extraordinary at all. Shane has tripped
                      often, sometimes his feet get heavy and he tends to swing off balance
                      at times. Shane Mosley foot work and ring generalship is not on par
                      with Mayweather in no way. Shane is a Boxer/brawler type of fighter
                      and if you stand there he will tee away but if you out box him he can
                      be beat (Cotto). Mosley has loses from good fighters and dominated
                      ok fighters. I know he can handle Berto with his foot work but Floyd?
                      No way.
