    IMO the best fights for Floyd are Pacquiao, Martinez, Khan and Cotto. I think he has 3-4 fights left in him and after the Pacquiao fight, Cotto will be the one guy who would bring the most money (maybe Khan but I'm not sure about Amir's american drawing power).
    If Floyd fought Amir, he beats Amir up in his own backyard. They love $ in the UK more than they do in the US.

    Cotto's rehabilitation is very costly time wise, I don't see it lining up with Floyd's schedule. Miguel tries to find a place for himself in Cash Cow's World not the other way around.

        Yeah I have stated, and I'm willing to bet that Khan vs Mayweather happens in the UK.

        As far as Cotto, after Pacquiao, Miguel and Amir are the only guys that would help Floyd do good PPV numbers. I mean those are the only guys 140-154 with any type of drawing power, so I'm pretty sure those two fights will happen.

        IMO Cotto is only two fights away from another mega-fight. If he beats Margarito and Cintron, I see him landing either a Alvarez, Mayweather or Pacquiao fight. Pac and Floyd fight this fall, and will more than likely face each other next spring, giving Cotto more than enough time to be ready. Even if he isn't Floyd can take a Khan fight and face Cotto later on. Again, IMO, Khan and Cotto are the only money fights after Pacquiao, and are two fights I see him taking.

I wouldnt favor Cotto over Floyd but i wouldnt favor anyone other than Martinez over Floyd at this point with a Pac fight being 50-50 with me leaning slightly towards Floyd.

              I think that Cotto's body of work at 147 is easily better than Ortiz'
              Of course Cotto's body of work is better than Ortiz's at 147. Ortiz has only had 1 WW fight. But Cotto did his best work BEFORE the Margarito fight, he hasn't been the same guy since that's the point.

                That version of Oscar gets so overrated by a group of fans because Mayweather fought him. I think Cotto gets somewhat underrated by a group of fans because for some reason that fight never took place.

                I really believe if it was the other way around where Floyd would have fought Cotto and not Oscar.

                People wouldn't say that version of Oscar "whoops" Cotto.

                  Cotto has to earn a fight with Floyd either beat Pac or Martinez IMO to get that shot. IMO Cotto should try to get revenge on Cheatto and Pac then challenge Floyd. I mean Cheatto ****d him with bricks in his gloves and Pac weight drained him. He should try to get his manhood back in house (top rank) before he tries to make any waves.

                    that guys is right because Cotto has already beaten Shane and Judah. Only a fool would think Baldomir or Hatton beats him, and I'm 100% sure Cotto beats Ortiz at WW (If Cotto can still make 147).

                      Why because triangle theories have worked so well in the past???
