Cotto will do it!

I think he can win it. Cotto won me over as a fan with his destruction of Judah. He kept boring in and hammering away. I would like to see him and PBF to at it.

 

I agree 100%. People keep living in the past. The only thing people ever say about Cotto is how he was hurt against corley and torres. Who cares b/c he still overcame adversity and won by KO. Against Zab, he was stunnned but still won by KO. No knock on Shane, but the few times he was rocked in his career, he couldnt overcome the adversity to win the fight.

 

i just want to see how Cotto handles this fight with someone who will box with great speed and movement. I think cotto is a very good ffighter but i think he is not that good a boxer nor experienced enough to adjust in mid fight....i tip my hat to cotto because when he is in trouble he does turn it up a notch but he sticks to the same game plan though. He will definitely have to show some more boxing skills in this fight....this is the fight that i would finally give him his all the way just due...Juda was close but i would have given him more credit had he met Judah before the year layoff. Still a great victory though.

 

igotjuic3, what are you talking about man. Cotto is one of the best at adjusting during the fight. much like floyd, he says he doesnt watch tape of his opponents b/c he must be ready for anything. when he fought ndou and abdullev he had to outbox them going backwards for much of the fight. he doesnt simply just go in straigh ahead with power. he uses lateral movement and skill to wear his opponents down. if he didn know to adjust, he would have lost to abdullev, paulie, and zab. it's his adjustment skills that makes him so underrated and dangerous.

 

no way he loses to neither..he mauled paulie and zab no adjustments needed...Zab had maybe one good round and hit him with good punches thats all. I cant speak on ther other fight cus i didnt see it....

Its not his adjustments and skills that people are worried about...its his heart and shear will along with a relentless body attack that has people worried....oh not to mention his power. I gurantee you this....if he sticks to those tactics he has been using and exposing his chin...Mosley will finish him. To say he is one of the best at adjusting is inaccurate.

 

I dont know IGOTJUIC3. i respect your opinioin, but one of cotto's biggest assets is that he is a very smart fighter in the ring. he figures out how to cut the ring off against very fast boxerrs. without those ring smarts, the faster fighters would be able to box circles around them. but i believe that once he figures out their movements, he can ADJUST midfight and then follow the brutal gameplan he always seems to have.

 

Yes, he will do it............














......He will be knocked out by Shane:deal

 

Shane will immediately wake up from his dream and realize that he had just been counted out while spread eagle on the canvas...Cotto by anal ****:deal

 

im goning cotto for ko.

 

I don't see Cotto knocking out Mosley but I can see Mosley's corner throwing in the towel if the intensity is too great and somehow he ages over a round because of the body shots. Look to put this honestly just look at what Mosley said, Hes never been this excited for a fight in his entire life..And I truley think that he honestly means that 100%. Why? Because this is the fight of both fighters lives. This fight is huge for Shane Mosley's career I mean HUGE. Mosley is fighting for his legacy right now and everyone wants to knock a pair of the great fighters that are currently in their primes. (hatton/floyd/cotto) Who ever defeats 2 of the 3 or all 3 of these guys will go down in history as a very very great fighter. So in short this fight is just as important to Mosley as it is Cotto..I know Mosley has 2 big wins over Oscar but i think he honestly is more hungry to beat Cotto because he needs to overcome his losses to vernon and winky.

 

This is by far Cotto's biggest and most dangerous fight, who else has Cotto fought could be compared to SSM?
Both fighters have a chance, this fight is tough to call, just can't wait till it's on.

 

PR Boxing Lore, I truly don't root for either fighter and am tryin to write one unbiased article for ESB on both WBA and WBC welterweight title fights this fall and that will inevitably secure a big unification fight in early 2008 with the two last men standing, playing off the other two A+ quality fighters in the process - From what I have understood thus far, there is no indication whatsoever that Miguelito must do this or that to overcome Suga Shane. Angel Cotto is very large, broad-shouldered power puncher and an intense, relentless attacker so he'll come after Mosley as he did against Zab and as he always does, that's for sure!... But you cannot say that Miguel has fought people who came close to combination of power and speed to Shane or else I would ask who? Judah is a slick lefty with fast reflexes and good timing and to have scored big left uppercuts and left counters early on Cotto from his southpaw position but had no power/strength to follow them up effectively... Shane has not faced an undefeated former light welter and a welter champ, one shorter, compact and very dangerous body puncher but he has dealt with another intense, bigger, former two time light-middle champ in Ferocious Fernando not long ago, remember Vargas ( 26-2, 22 KOs in 2006) had only lost to ODLH and Tito Trinidad and was as much as a threat to Shane before he was out-punched and stopped in 10 and 6 rounds, former wbc continental americas welter titlist Jose Luis Cruz was also undefeated (30-0-2) and Shane beat him at 147 pounds - if you put Louie Collazo losing 9 out of 12 rounds for the wbc interim welterweight title along with David Estrada, Cruz and Fernando, I would say Mosley has a recent resume to back up his chances in this one too, just like Miguel has when he beat Quintana, Urkal and Zab in his three 147 pound title fights.

 

Cotto is great at adjusting in fights.

His workrate, hunger, youth, determination, and body punching will get him the decision, despite some rough spots along the way.
