Indulge me on this Mayweather theory

Fighting Mosely then the Pac/Cotto winner would be a step in the right direction. If he then finished out with Williams and beat them all convincingly I don't think there would be much you could say about him other than he was a great great fighter

 

This is the key. I think if he gets both these guys on his ledger, despite whatever the critics may say, his legacy is all set - particularly if he has to overcome adversity in one or both fights.
