    Yeah, he beat him by a razor-thin, disputable decision. Entirely irrelevant, however.

    The fact is, in his last fight, Cotto got massacred by Margarito. On the other hand, Mosley destroyed Margo in his last fight.

    Mosley has bigger fish to fry, and should do everything in his power to lure Mayweather into the ring.

    Mosley-Mayweather is much bigger than Mosley-Cotto II.

    Right now, those are definitely the 3 fights that I most want to see.

    It's not the fight I want to see, at least not right away.

    Let Cotto go ahead and see if he can avenge his loss to Margo (assuming he wins against Jennings).

    If Cotto can beat Margo, let him take on the winner of Mosley-Mayweather, because that's the fight that needs to happen.

    We as FANS can call for the Mosley/PBF all we want but the reality is that PBF is not going to comeback to fight the Mosley he saw last saturday night and he will not be preasure into it either. You know he is going to want to dictate all the terms and GBP is not having it bro. So if Shane wants to make any $ while he can, he should just fight Cotto in NYC in june right before the PR parade. Thats my opinion, eventhough I would love it if PBF would comeback to fight Mosley but the Mosley that fought last weekend not the one who fought Collazo or Cotto, you know....

    I disagree. Floyd has mentioned Mosley as a possible opponent in the past. In fact, I believe he did so after his last fight with Hatton. It's a fight Floyd believes he can win (and maybe he can).

    I've already heard rumors from a few of my sources that the two camps are already feeling each other out. This fight makes PERFECT SENSE!

    If that's his best option available, I agree, but I think Floyd will become available.

    If Mosley keeps that Naazim guy in his corner, I can't see Cotto beating Mosley again, although, I admit, Cotto will give Mosley a lot more problems than Margarito did.

    Incidentally, I thought Mosley looked sensational in his bout against the very underrated Collazo.

    I got bad news for you though bro: Cotto might be soo ****ed from that beating that he might never be the same. And thus won't be able too.

    p.s. Rumsfeld, whose the milf?

    Cotto and Margarito have unfinished business. Even if Cotto beat Mosley in a rematch he still will have unfinished business. Take care of it and rewrite the wrong.

    Mosley probably won't get Floyd and will have to wait till Pac/Hatton is over for a big money fight. Clottey could be a tough fight aswell as a risk like Berto would be. Bad news for Shane if Mayweather doesn't wanna fight.

    I too think that Mosley should be looking to fight Cotto again. He damn near beat him the first time and Cotto's on the other side of his first loss so we don't even know how he's gonna respond to it regardless of the possibility that Margarito's gloves may have been padded. The fight with Jennings won't tell us much so we'll have to wait and see.

    Whether or not Margarito would ever move up to 154, he wouldn't be facing Santos again given their propensity to butt heads. Both of their fights ended on cuts so don't expect them to get back in there with each other. Plus, Santos has the W over Antonio already so why fight him again?

    arum said the fight is still on, but, I highly doubt it. Margo is done, at least for this year.

    I don't know what that ****** who said Cotto doesn't deserve a rematch with shane is smoking but I would like some of that ****! FYI the person who wins the first fight is the one who decides if he grants a rematch or not. Not the guy who lost. It is irrelevant if the fight was close in your opinion, because Cotto WON and your opinion, for that matter, is ****. Cotto won a close but CLEAR decision and everyone knows it, even mosley admitted it. Cotto lost to Margo, cool but he beat the guy that beat Margo. So shut up. Cotto is better than mosley, deal with it.

    What are you? 12?
    Cotto won when he and Mosley fought...........that doesn't mean he will automatically win if they fight again.
    It also doesn't mean that Cotto is a better fighter than Mosley.

    Margarito laid the blueprint on how to beat Cotto.
    If Margarito's blueprint worked for him , do you think it won't work for Mosley?
    Mosley laid the blueprint on how to beat Margarito..........now EVERYONE knows what works. Including Cotto......but can Cotto follow Mosleys blueprint?

    The Mosley who fought saturday night is virtually unbeatable by ANYONE in the welterweight division.
    I doubt even Mayweather could handle the Mosley we saw saturday night.
