Floyd-Cotto is going to be an absolutely massive fight next year. Imagine if Floyd beat DLH in September, then Cotto beat him in December. Man, a fight between would sell then.

Didnt it say DLH would only fight him if he beat Floyd? I wouldnt see Cotto wanting to fight the loser of that fight.

in all likelihood, all the parties involved know when and where cotto/mayweather will take place. there just letting the firestorm rage until it can no longer be contained.
Floyd is proven and has no real need to be calling out challengers, but Cotto will eventually come knocking and I hope Floyd hasn't 'conveniently' retired by then.

Floyd would be the biggest idiot in boxing history if he didnt fight Cotto before he retires and I think he knows that.

The best way for Mayweather to seal his career would be the win over Cotto. It would be awesome.

No doubt. If he ends his career by beating DLH and Cotto I could then call him the best boxer of my generation. Thats a big step for me anyway.

it would the best way to end things off for floyd, but not his haters. i'd think they rather he keep going until he eventually loses. then and only then will they be satisfied
