If Margarito gets the boot, they should replace him with Floyd, that would be epic!!

In 2011-2012, Cotto is getting close to the point of not even being that good anymore. I think Alvarez and Kirkland have good shots at beating Cotto right now, and Lara would most definitely beat Cotto. With that said, if Antonio doesn't get booted, Cotto beats him. Margarito is way past it at this point, hasn't been prime since or good since 08-09.

    Mayweather-Cotto does ZERO for Floyd now. Also, for all those people saying Floyd ducked Cotto...I remember Mayweather and his camp calling out Cotto in 06' to which Top Rank replied "Cotto isn't ready for Floyd". Than, when Floyd announced he's done after the Hatton fight, Cotto and Top Rank said he was ducking them.
    Really now? 2 time superwelterweight champ + the ring title does nothing for Floyd's legacy? I'm not too sure bout that 1 bro.

        Cotto lives too far away nyahaha lol. Floyd has been ducking Cotto the most beside Pacquiao. He has been ducking Cotto for 6 years and he is not going to put all that ducking to waste now. He knows he would lose to cotto. And please stop this rumor, Marg has already been cleared to fight, there's no way the pull the plug this deep into it. 24/7 production started, training camps started, etc. Even if there is something wrong poppa bob will get i fixed $$$.

          Another title at 154 would enhance his legacy a bit, but he could catch hell for fighting a Pac left over, especially since he's been so quick to point out that Pac fought Oscar, Hatton, Mosley, and now Marquez at 144 after he already did.

          If Cotto had been really competitive with Manny back in 2009, maybe I'd say Floyd should jump on that. But, Cotto hasn't been the same fighter since his KO loss to Margarito in 08', not even close. Since that loss to Margarito, he hasn't done much. He fought a terribel fight against Clottey, where he arguably lost. That fight showed a lot of people that Cotto wasn't in his "prime" anymore, simple as that. Than, he got blown away by Pacquiao for 12 rounds. He came back at 154, and beat a past prime Mayorga and a decent undefeated prospect in Foreman. Maybe if Cotto were to come back at beat Margarito and than Lara/Alvarez/Kirkland I'd say Floyd should fight him, but yeah.

              Would be a fight I would want to see.

              But I very much doubt Floyd will take it.

              Floyd would not even take Cotto on at 147lbs with a full training camp.

              I very much doubt he will take on Cotto at 150/154lbs with a 5/6 training camp.


              So it would be a fight I would want to see, but it will not happen because Floyd is Floyd.
