    You know, I personally never thought a rematch between these two would be worthwhile, but in wake of Mosley's annihilation of the ''Tijuana Tornado'', I really don't see any further need for it. I heard there's talk of Mayweather coming out of retirement to face Mosley, I personally believe that Mayweather shouldn't come back at all unless he fights Pacquiao. So, with that said, Mosley should in my opinion be gunning for a rematch with Cotto, after he gets by Jennings. Since Cotto beat Mosley, it would be a great way to try to avenge that loss, especially if he would perform the way he did Saturday against Margarito.

    As for Margarito, maybe he should try his luck in the junior-middleweight division. Maybe he'd be interested in a fight with Daniel Santos, or some of the other guys.

    Any thoughts?

    cotto mosley II, all the way. i see no reason for cotto to rematch margarito. all we saw in the mosley fight is how with the right game plan, a smart fighter with speed and power can utterly dominate the slow, plodding fighter with no head movement/defense. all miguel has to do is tie up when he gets in close and its over. not to mention i really dont want to see margarito eat anymore vicious bombs...

    If I'm Cotto, I want Margarito and if I'm Shane I want Cotto.

    Mosley - Cotto or Mosley - Mayweather will be next...hopefully.

    That's the way I see it. I'd rather see Mosley/Cotto II at this point, but the Cotto/AM rematch remains an interesting and important fight.

    I want Cotto to get his revenge against that punk Margo.

    Cotto and Margarito should fight for the right to a rematch with Mosley. Big risk for Cotto though. Arum says their rematch will happen but I doubt Cotto would want one with a newly won title.

    Personally, I think Cotto should go ahead with the rematch.

    As far as Mosley goes, he has bigger fish to fry than Cotto.

    Right now, Cotto does not deserve a shot at Mosley, plain and simple.

    Mosley has bigger potential fights in the form of Mayweather and Pacquiao right now.

    Contrary to what many of my fellow Puerto Ricans want, I don't want Cotto to fight Margarito. WHY???? Simple, the money is with Shane Mosley. After getting caught cheating, not even mexicans want to see Margo. Now, Cotto better take training camp very seriously if he wants to have a chance to beat Mosley again.
    The point is, win or lose against Mosley, he can fight Margarito later. But if he fights Margarito again and losses, then Mosley will not be interested in fighting Cotto.
