    So you think Mayweather should only fight Oscar and Ricky Hatton from here on out? Because those are the only two fighters around Mayweather's weight class who can generate that kind of revenue.

    If Mayweather was the draw he claims to be, or his fans believe he is, he wouldn't have to worry about how much $ his opponents bring to the table. Tyson, De La Hoya, and even Ricky Hatton do/did big numbers fighting cadavers. Saying Mayweather needs a strong b-side to generate big numbers is a good indication of just how "big" he really is.

    I'll give u my prediction,Margarito by 9th round ko.I think early on cotto will have his moment's,but the fact is cotto hasn't shown devastating punching power at welterweight.Urkal gave cotto alot of trouble in puerto rico,a washed up judah busted cotto up and if it wasn't for the low blows judah would have probably beat cotto.Even though mosley's 1 of my fav fighter's he pissed me off,because he had cotto for the kill,but instead he choose to sit back and pitty pat.

    I see margarito in the same scenario that mosley had cotto in about the 9th round,but the difference is,margarito will go for the kill and i dont see cotto lasting with the kind of fire power margarito will bring,especially in the later rounds.

    Cotto has never been a 1 punch power KO artist, but he is a devastating puncher in a sense. Since May of 2004 when he fought Lovemore N'dou he has stopped all his opponents via TKO/KO with the exception of Mosley. So 4 of his 5 fights in the WW division have ended in TKO/KO.

    Urkal frustated Cotto with the constant and blatant headbutting and that's it.

    Judah may have been inactive for a year but he is not washed up and the L would still been on Judahs record with or without the low blows.

    Mosley never had "Cotto for the kill"

    As far as your prediction: its possible but your arguments are flawed. Therefore, your prediction is also flawed and Cotto will come out victorious. :deal

    Sorry forgot about Paulie...He made it the 12 rds but with a broke jaw.
