    you are correct.

    All a US boxer needs to do is sign with Al Haymon

Still, I doubt Mayweather would have ever fought an undefeated Cotto at welterweight. Too much risk involved.

          Having the courage to fight all comers adds to his resume. This is something that will haunt Floyd for life. His tendency to avoid the better fighters. Had Cotto taken the same path Floyd took, he would not have a loss on his record too.

          Floyd said no to Margarito, even though Margarito showed up in person and asked Floyd what's up?

          Floyd has yet to fight Pacquaio... We don't know what Floyd looks like against these guys. We know he looks like a hero against Gatti and Baldomir though.

              *****s have the same "safety first" mindset that their idol Floyd has. This is why they are OK with Floyd's duckery. They can relate.
