Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Shane Mosley

Cotto UD

 

Mosley by decision. Maybe he'll even knock him out in the 10 or 11.

 

Cotto by late stoppage!!!
Mosley does'nt like to get hit to the body!

 

definitely see this one being split either way

 

Cotto via TKO 9th or 10th

 

At first I was going with Cotto.....After last night..seeing Shane in tremendous shape and his neck looked like a pit bulls ....And hearing Shane compare Cotto to Vargas in which I do see similarities in stance but thats where it ends...I think Mosley may know something we dont and have his #. If Mosley is as in good of shape as he looks he is going to stop Cotto late. Shane knows the fight game and he is very confident. I do think he underrates Cottos hand speed as everyone does..his jab is good too.. I will flip flop until November

 

Shane Mosley by KO 9.

At some point Shane will catch that over exposed chin of Cotto...Mosley will hurt him and finish him.

 

I agree about the vagina comparison... Cotto UD.:deal

These are both good guys, both as fighters, but also as representatives of the sport of boxing. Neither one talks smack, both are respectful, and neither one puts on a "gangsta" smart mouth disrespecting, bufoonish demeanor. Cotto is one SERIOUS dude, who at least speaks English (I respect him for that) and seems to think and relect before talking. Mosely, it's impossible for me to dislike him. He has a smiling, good natured personality that makes me respect and appreciate his in the ring accomplishments that much more. In other words, boxing needs more fighters, both in terms of skills and professionalism, as well as personality to somewhat remind me of the way fighters conducted themselves back in the fifties, and elevate the game to a level where fighters displayed sportsmanship and civil manners, while at the same time participating in the most brutal, yet honorable sport there is.

 

i have a feeling shane might take this one, but i will be rooting for cotto

 

I'm surprised Cotto is the favourite. I pick Mosley on decision, I just think he's too quick. It's a shame though because I like Cotto.

 

This is exactly how I feel about this fight. I was leaning towards Cotto until I saw the highlights of Mosely vs. Vargas last night. Vargas is bigger and stronger than Cotto and Shane was able to handle him twice. Cotto has made a career of completely wearing down and battering his opponents. I don't know if he can do that to Shane.

 

In all fairness, the Vargas that Mosley fought last was no where near the level Cotto is at now. Vargas was extremely slow, didn't have any snap to his punches, and wasn't attacking the body. Cotto will be a much tougher fight than Vargas.
