Who gets Cotto first? Does Cotto get a re-match with Margs or does Mosley get a re-match with Cotto? It's a strange situation, especially that the most exciting fight would be between the two latest losers.

Arum said win or lose Margarito was fighting Cotto at MSG the week of the PR day parade

Mosley is sitting pretty... He can face a creme puff mandatory in the middle of the year and then the winner of Pacman/Hatton at the end of the year. I think he crushes either fighter esp Hatton.

Cotto is actually sitting in a nice position knowing he is going to be sought after by everybody. He'll immediately get a big payday and chance to get a belt. That loss may end up being a great thing for his career in some ways.

I think Shane would handle Pacman as well and Hatton would stand little chance. Mosley is amazing in that he is 37 y/o and still has great speed to go along with lots of big fight experience and ring IQ. Mosley has such an impressive resume of fights it's hard to think of many with a better career of top notch events. He lost some but the main thing is he has stayed at the top in spite of fighting so many good opponents and at various weight classes. He's had a unique career and dismantling Margarito is quite a statement at this late stage.

In and around the welterweight division there are so many good match ups to put together, I hope we see lots of top fights put together in the next 18 months.
