    Forget moving up. Cotto should establish himself as an all time great Welterweight by fighting the best available competition there is. To much stock is put into fighting at all these different weight classes.

    I see where you coming from.. but in that context Floyd's a 5 division champ.. Does that mean Cotto has to be one?..

    He can't...to be the man, you gotta beat the man (thanks Ric Flair).

    Floyd's the man, and Cotto must beat him to take the P4P title from him.

    He can wipe out the division, but Floyd kicked ass from 130-154...even if Cotto beats up on the welters (after beating some good junior welters), he is no Floyd.

    BEAT FLOYD, then he'll have Floyd's crown.

    Cotto should duck Margarito then call out Winky only to run from him when he responds. Thatll put him on Frauds level.

    to be on floyds level?

    he would have to clear out 147. fight Hatton (or whoever else is the man)at 140 and then take over and rule at 154. That's enough big fights against really high quality opposition to make up for the lack of the 4th and 5th divisions that floyd has.

    It would be tough, but not out of the question. But it would also take years to do so.
