    You think Mayweather would beat Duran and Leonard? Wow.

    What's your reasoning?

    Mayweather needs to wipe out all competition between 140-154 to be considered alongside Ray Robinson, not just Cotto. That means fighting maybe 5 more years and maybe 4-5 times a year against top contenders. Not gonna happen!

    That said, Mayweather wouldn't stand a chance in a H2H matchup against Robinson or Leonard.

    i have a feeling after the DLH rematch mayweather will wait for cotto to clean out the rest of the division to make the match even more anticipated so making more $$$$$. In the meantime maybe fighting mosley as a stop gap. I do remember mosley saying he'd like to fight floyd and wouldnt rule it out with them both part of GB promotions.

    He's going for easy money against DeLaHoya yet he's supposed to rank up there with Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali? Ali literally fought everybody and Robinson beat the best of his era. Mayweather needs to fight Cotto to cement his legacy.

    williams would be worth a ton to his legacy...

    cotto would be worth the most

    he has to beat oscar twice first and than beat 1 of those 2 guys to raise himself on the atg list though
