If Floyd beats winner of Pacquaio/Cotto

[Piper the Great]

The thing is he will beat them all and people who know boxing know it

the people who know boxing also thought marg would beat shane. cotto ould beat marg. zab would beat baldi. oscar would beat pacman. pavlik would beat hopkins. etc... fights not won on paper or fight night 4 simulators. you haveto fight the fight.

wow, PWILL hasn't accomplished anything @ 147 yet Mayweather has to fight this guy? The only reason why people say that is because they belive he has the best shot at beating floyd style wise. Until he proves something @ 147, PWILL should be last on mayweathers list.

When people put Floyd down for not having been beaten or not having been knocked down and say that you have to come back from knockdowns to win to become a legend....that annoys me!! It's not his fault if he's been too good to be knocked down or beaten by his opponents.

If one goes through their career undefeated and beating the best that should only enhance their legacy.

If Floyd does that he is locked in the top 5 ATG.

the thing is..........why do you set such an extremely low goal for floyds "greatness"......................whats keeping him in the running is his previous achievement at the lower weight ....not his stunts in his last few fights......................or non fights

Mayweather has to defeat all three fighters when they are looking good. There's no point of fighting someone when they're not at their best. He had to fight Pacquiao after he destroyed Hatton not after Cotto puts a beating on him and possibly end his career. He has to fight Cotto if he beats Pac not after he's old and not in his prime, and the same goes for Shane Mosley.

[Mr. Philadel]

and then beats a top welter, like Shane Mosley

Is there anything else for him to do

Be real, there will always be a opponent since hes the number 1 fighter in the world. He can't go on forever

But the man wants to retire undefeated and by beating Pacquaio/Cotto and Mosley is surely enough to close the book on his legacy

I won't have **** to say then.......but the haters will!!......they'll find someone or something to promote against Floyd!!.....trust me!!

I agree with this.

Israel said that Floyd needs to come back from gettin knocked down and fight toe-to-toe, etc....Even though thats not Floyd's style he has fought toe-to-toe with people before, e.g. Castillo round 12 Floyd stood his ground and fought and he fought rough with Hatton. He was aggressive against Corley, etc.
