    I've been wanting to see Mosley-Mayweather for sometime, as well.

    After Mosley lost to Cotto (in a fight I actually had Mosley winning), I thought the chances of this ever happening were ZERO. However, after beating Hatton, Mayweather himself made mention of the name Mosley, so it may still happen yet.

    I hope it does.

    I always believed Mosley would have taken Floyd, but I'm not as convinced as I once was....Shane is beginning to show his age.

    Should still be a great fight, though.

    Sorta. I actually think mosley might give him more fits than cotto. I think just stylistically i dont think cotto matches well against pbf.

    shane needs to go back to throwing combinations like he used to, he still got speed and power.

    I don't for the simple reason that Floyd won't get any credit for beating him especially after Cotto already has.

    I'm not saying he shouldn't fight him. I'm just saying if he fights Shane then he has no choice but to fight Cotto too. Would you not agree? Also he would be better served to fight Cotto 1st. Floyd is only 30 but he aint getting any younger either and Cotto deserves it more than Shane now anyway. I love Floyd, Shane and Cotto. I say throw Paul Williams in the mix and let's have a round robin. Oh and Floyd should've fought Baldomir before Judah.

    I would love to see both fights.

    Right now - Cotto is the bigger draw - because of the win over Mosley.

    If Mosley bounces back with an impressive win over one of the other WW - he can make some noise for himself.

    I don't care which fight is made - I would love to see both.

    Yes he definitely needs to go back to throwing combinations! He threw one punch at a time a lot against Cotto. I think the 2000 combination-throwing version of Shane would have pulled out the decision against Cotto IMHO.

    I would rather see Shane, just becouse hes my favourite fighter and I cant imagine him fighting anyone lesser out there. Cotto vs Mosley fight was close enough for Floyd to get same credit if he wins IMO.

    I would have loved if it happened a while ago, but I think it's too late for Shane.

    I would prefer Mayweather-Cotto, no doubt. But Mosley-Mayweather would be ok.

    No.

    Cotto is in his prime/younger, the bigger draw, undefeated.
