Mayweather has no reason to fight the winner of Mosley/Cotto

Exactly and he's at a tremendous stylistic disadvantage and that's the only reason he was selected out of the bunch of p4p ranked fighters.

This fight would have meant something in 2005, but now it means nothing.

 

Williams IMO is more of a stylistic problem than either Mosley or Cotto. And he is ranked #2 by Ring. If Mosley beats Cotto, they may move Williams to #1 for all we know.

It may not be fair or whatever, but thats how I see it. I would rather him fight a young lion than an old one.

 

Short, to the point and the truth. Good post!

 

great post paul is not even on the radar unless he can unify with cintron. mosley beats cotto he becomes the #1 ranked ring welter and the wba champ. Floyd should only fight paul if he beats cintron for the IBF title. otherwise no sense in fighting a young guy like that with nothing on the line.

 

ROFL. Beating either a future HOF, and one of boxings elite in Mosley, who with a win over Cotto would be true p4p material. Or Cotto, an undefeated world champion in 2 divisions coming off the biggest win in his career, and possibly ranked in the p4p top 5 after a win over Mosley. Would love to hear how that would do nothing for his resume.

 

if hatton was the best @ 140 why didn't he fight floyd at 140:rofl

 

Paul is still Green to me.....i mean dont forget Margo was walking him down as he gased in the later...with PBF he defintely could not do that. I do see him posing a little problem but i dont think he would be able to hurt PBF and i think PBF would pursue him like he did Zab and with lots of pressure.

 

hatton at 147 means nothing compared to at 140,if he does beat winner of cotto mosley it would prove he is one of the best of all time

 

Cotto is a young lion, with the effective pressure and the work rate now at 147 to beat Mayweather. Mayweather is most hittable to the body, and thats exactly where Cotto will go against Mayweather. I think Cotto can succedd were De la Hoya did, with the difference being that Cotto is more active and more relentless.

 

I fully expect that Mayweather will fight the Mosely / Cotto winner just because of that reason, if he gets past Hatton.

 

paul williams would do nothing,hes tall and thats it ,oh unless you call the slaps he throws

 

PBF doesn't throw 60 punches per round or weigh 160 on fight night. He also doesn't hit as hard as Margo. Sure PBF should beat him, but Williams didn't gas enough not to throw a ton of punches in the 12th, and PBF's style is not going to wear down Williams. Entirely different fight.

 

if floyd beats hatton at 147 it will prove who was the superior fighter at 140. it will also show why hatton ducked floyd at 140. 7lbs won't make a difference in determining the winner:deal

 

I hope so ..Its what the fans deserve ...

 

I think Cotto would end up like Castillo in the 2nd fight he had with PBF. Missing alot and frustrated. Everyone talks about the first Castillo fight as the way to beat PBF. No one remembers the 2nd one where he adjusted and showed he could handle that style.
