    Only if Margarito can get past Mosley and Cotto for a second time ...

    This is a fight that i'd like to see.

    But if Cotto and Mosley beat Margarito, then I would like to see Cotto fight Mayweather.

    Either way it goes these two fights can be huge and they can prove to be great exciting fights.

    Mayweather beats whoever but it would be nice to see him face, the slower, less skilled, less talented, Margarito.

    Floyd v Tony is Floyd v Baldomir II and Floyd v Corrales II

    Floyd v Cotto is Floyd v Gatti II

    Floyd has not shown any interest in Margo, only in Pac and Hatton. Would be shocked if he did.

    Floyd v Tony is different than Floyd v Baldomir because:

    1) Tony is much bigger than Baldi. About 3-4 inches taller and fight night probably 5-10 lbs. heavier
    2) Tony throws way more punches.

    2 fights ... one with Pac (the current p4p champion) and the recognized welterweight champion can make for two big money fights. Possibly 30+ each for Floyd.

    Tony has never seen a fighter with the defense of PBF ... and i'm sure the size means nothing given that PBF spars with 154-175 lb fighters.

    Tony is wide with his punches and has bad footwork ... he's never fought a fighter who can constantly move for 12 rounds.

    Tony has never faced a body puncher like Floyd or someone as accurate.

    Please believe me Floyd poses more problems for Tony that vise versa.

    Floyd will fight Margarito is he keeps winning ...

    Mosley, Cotto (twice), possibly Williams again at 154 ... you'll never know. If Margarito can find a way to keep winning and increasing his fan base anything can happen.

    If Margarito v Cotto II does atleast 500k buys. The winner can stand to do triple that against PBF.

    I'm pretty sure all Margarito would have to do is become the universally recognized welterweight champion and top 5 p4p status. He could do that and have time to fight Floyd by the end of this year.

    :good I agree. Somebody's gonna have to have some hellacious momentum going to entice Floyd to come **** it up for 'em.:yep

    My minds eye see's PBF vs Pac-Man for the biggest super fight since Ali and them was still fighting.

    1) Floyd has never seen a fighter that throws as many punches as Tony.
    2) Of course size matters. This isn't sparring.
    3)Yes he does have horrible technique and bad footwork. I can see Floyd moving all 12 rounds unlike Cotto, but on pure aggression Tony will pile up points.
    4)I don't think Floyd is that much bigger of a bodypuncher than Cotto. I will give you the accurate part. Reminds me of Vitali Klitschko on how accurate Floyd is.

    If Pac loses to Hatton, then the fight between PBF and Pac is off ...

    That only leaves the potential for him to fight for the welterweight championship ... okay he can either fight for the p4p title that he vacated or the welterweight title that he vacated.

    If Hatton wins then that would make Calzaghe p4p #1 ... and it also elevates Margarito ... and if Margarito can keep winning and get the welterweight title and become top #5 p4p then that would be enough to create some buzz for a welterweight superfight.

    Margarito * beating Mosley and Cotto (for a second time) ... there isn't anyone else in the division that stands a chance. You know that Berto will never fight Margarito and he's not even considered a top 5 welterweight. (even with a belt)

    There's no one else to fight ... he's cleaned out the division ....
