I wouldn't doubt that Cotto softened Margarito up in his previous fight. I mean come on... All those flush shots.
Floyd isn't ducking Mosley ... he offered Mosley a fight a couple of times ... once while he was lightweight champion and Floyd was super featherweight champion, he was going to challenge Mosley for his title while they were both undefeated. Mosley elected to fight Oscar. Then there was the time when Mosley was the interim WBC welterweight champion and mandatory for Floyd Mayweather ... he elected to challenge Cotto for his title. So there's no need to make up stuff ... Floyd said it the night that Collazo v Mosley took place ... Shanes father also confirmed ... I believe its on youtube
Mosley should be ring magazine champion ... given that he's the third ranked fighter and Margarito was the number 1.
**** Shane Mosley, he's a cheat and a fraud. **** him, even if he fights the best, he's using performance enhancing drugs. Floyd should come back and wipe that smirk of his face.
That argument is weak since the rules clearly state that generally it has to be #1 vs #2 for the ring championship. 1 vs 3 is the exception. most people already know that man.
Number #2 is Cotto and he's already in a fight with Jennings who isn't top 10 ranked ... it only makes sense. When Calzaghe and Lacy fought ... I believe Lacy was the #3 super middleweight in the world. Those two fought for the legitament super middleweight title.
