i'd have to say cotto' win over mosley makes his record @147lbs a little better than mayweather' record @147lbs. floyd is letting cotto do the heavy lifting which is making his star shine brighter than ever. which leads to both of them making some serious coin when they fight next year.

This will be one of the first (and last ) times I defend Floyd. He has proved himself far more at 147 than Cotto. Floyd has beaten Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir and Hatton at 147. And before the haters say that Baldomir and Hatton were crap at 147, Baldomir had beaten Judah, was a titleholder and hadn't lost in 8 years. Hatton wasn't a true welterweight, but Mayweather exposed this fact better than anyone.
On the other hand, Cotto has beaten Quintana, Urkal, Judah, Mosley and Gomez. Quintana was a good win, Urkal not so. Judah went completly downhill after losing to Floyd. Mosley was a good win, but Mosley pushed him all the way (I had it a draw) and Gomez has never done anything. Remember as well Floyd beat Oscar at 154, and generally is involved in bigger fights (the 2.4 million buy ones), whilst Cotto is pulling in just 160,000
2.4 mil was not just floyld. oscar has always been the draw. oscar has fought the best from the past to now so he will always bring in people. i doubt there will be 2.4 mil ppvs again.
cotto is fresh blood in terms of making it. one day he may be a big draw. if cotto fought oscar then cotto would win imo. cotto needs to fight someone with a big name like an oscar to make him known aswell.
floyld is becoming a big draw now.
floylds resume isn't hugely above cotto's at 147. if cotto beats marg then his resume will be better than floyld at 147 (if oscar is 150 this time). gomez was a tune up for marg i believe. so **** gomez but he is a nice guy at got a decent payday.

Oscar has more left than mosley imo. But i'll have to see mosley fight again to determine that for sure. Oscar and Mosley are dead even on comparison imo. All of floyds other opponents at 47 at this time are better than cottos opponents. Margarito may defeat ricky hatton, but I wouldnt say he's the better win.

yeah but if the talk is 147 then oscar is out of the picture. even though it was an even bigger weight but soemoen else was talking 147 only so i am too. mosley aint done. he beat collazo who was even with hatton.
if we are only discussing 147 then marg is definately a better win than hatton.
oscar hasn't fought floyld at 147 yet, but then again it was a bigger weight. so okay i'll slip oscar and mosley evens.
judah vs judah. i would say evens since floyld knew judah from before while cotto didn't.
baldo and quantana i would say evens. baldo is made for floyld so evens.
these two are made for each other. it's like they are trains and are going to collide

If you read my post I said 147+. How you guys hold floyd fighting for the wbc belt at 154 against him is beyong me.......
oh sorry i missed the +
i aint holding it agaisnt him. i think at this time oscar and mosley are evens. oscar is sort of inactive and his performance vs forbes doesn't make him look like he can beat floyld. his stamina showed vs floyld so i blame his inactivty.
mosley was good vs cotto and beat collazo (who also had a close fight with hatton). styles make fights so i wouldn't say the win over quintana means a win over williams.
i already said floylds resume is over cotto's but not hugely. if cotto was a golden boy then i am sure oscar would have put himself in the ring to get cotto's name out.

serious question, if floyd does beat coto, where does he go then? thats the last realistic big fight where a fighter has any sort of chance against floyd?

He'll fight Cotto twice maybe. After Cotto there isn't much left. My dream matchup got ruined by Jermain Taylor. He sent Hopkins up north, so that fight won't happen. I could see a fight with Pacquiao if he doesn't lose and they meet at 140. There really isn't much left. Floyd knows this. That is why he's even considering fighting Hatton again.
Is Floyd Mayweather Ducking Miguel Cotto?
) times I defend Floyd. He has proved himself far more at 147 than Cotto. Floyd has beaten Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir and Hatton at 147. And before the haters say that Baldomir and Hatton were crap at 147, Baldomir had beaten Judah, was a titleholder and hadn't lost in 8 years.
