    I don't know, I think even Cotto right now (younger, fresher guy than Mosley at that time) is in a better position than Mosley was when Floyd fought him. Cotto has consistently been fighting, and sure we all wanted to see Shane vs Floyd, but Mosley also hadn't fought in close to 16 months before jumping in with Floyd. Cotto also has a new found confidence since his win over Margarito and seems rejuvenated with a new team. These are just intangibles to consider (not necessarily keys to victory for Cotto), but looking at both Mosley and Cotto going into a Floyd fight, I honestly think Cotto will be a more difficult fight, though I still favor Floyd. IMO a legit win for Mayweather.

      If Floyd beats Cotto at 154, I'd put in on par with Pacquiao's win over Cotto, or pretty close to it.

        Make the fight, if Floyd doesn't TKO Cotto then we can assume Manny is better than him.

            While Cotto is a better fight for Money than Guerrero, IMO Money would TKO Cotto in the late rounds.. Maybe Moy needs to challenge himself a bit more by fighting some one from 154-160.. Like Kirkland, Agulo, or go all out and challenge Martinez!!

              Agree in that Cotto does a little better, but I still see a one sided win for Floyd. Bradley still poses a better challenge though.

                I would rather see Mayweather-Cotto than Mayweather-Guerrero but am not about to just to conclusion because of what Arum and his pay off american journalist says..

                  But Bradley is far from realistic. I mean, unfortunately, Cotto is the best option of the realistic options(depending on if you view Sergio as realistic or not). That really doesn't say much about the guys that Floyd could fight.

                      No he didnt, Mayweather was the one who said Cotto was too green when he was asked by bob costas in the taylor vs Hopkins pre-fight show where he was been interview and so was winky right.

                      So STFU and stop talking out of your ass!
