    To me, the answer is pretty obvious.

    Curious what other think.

    Not sure. Mosley should have a good chance of stopping him but Cotto might frustrate him again. It's easy for Mosley to open up against a static statue like Margarito. His punch output might drop again when faced with a mover like Cotto.

    I would have to make Mosley favourite though.

    If Cotto is giving us a preview of what he is now...
    I'd favor Mosley in a rematch, Can anyone say Vegas tho.

    As amazing as Mosley looked his last fight, it would be hard to bet against him. Having said that, Cotto did beat him last time, which shows that it can be done by him, and Mosley would come into this fight with the mental ****** on his back, so to speak - Not Cotto.

    If I were laying money down, I would probably do so with Cotto by late points, just because of what I've seen in the past.

    You never know though, typically fighters who have been bested twice by the same guy are not as good for the rest of their career, and Mosley knowing this would train extra hard to be ready.

    Definitely a fight I would watch.

    Mosley is going through a revival and deserved the first fight, this time he does better and takes it out of the judges hands

    Mosley has looked like a better fighter since Cotto. While we see how Cotto has been.

    Mosley has a new trainer and actually has a gameplan when he fights instead of just attack and throw combos.

    Cotto would win again on points because he has the variety skills and adaptability to outpoint Shane Mosley like he did last time. Shane beating Margarito has nothing to do with how this shapes as styles and skills determines fights. Shane is the same fighter that he has always been and he is not going to change at 38. People don't realise Margarito's basic come forward style was meat and drink for a fast sharpshooter fighter like Mosley.

    Cotto 120-108 in NY.

    Mosley on points everywhere else on earth.

    If Mosley lost the first fight it was because his ego got the better of him: he tried to take Cotto out early to prove something. If he had fought the way he fought Plasterito, he would have knocked Cotto out late. imho.

    Cotto looks spent. I think that the punishment has taken a toll on him. I think that Mosley looks rejuvenated and would be too much for him this time around. Mosley was almost too much for him last time around anyway.

    Mosley tko8 Cotto

    Mosley easily.

    I am amazed he lost to Cotto full stop, even more so after he lost to Margarito.

    Mosley is faster, stronger and a bigger puncher than Margo was an equal chin.
