    Unbelievable powers of recovery can make up for a so-so chin. Cotto has shown this on more than one occasion.

    I think age gets the better of Mosley in this one. I give him a VERY slim chance of winning.

    I don't think so! Cotto has not by any means shown unbelieveable recovery powers. Trinidad did, Heck Vargas did in the first round against the 2nd best finisher in the first round, but Cotto was chicken dancing for over a minute! Corley showed he was the lousiest finisher in any top 10 and Torres was too undisciplined with his attack and blew his chance TWICE! But Cotto was out long enough for someone like Mosley (who destroyed Vargas after the 1st KD) to blast him into oblivion.

    Cotto reminds me of Holyfield... its like when Evander was rocked against bowe and was all over the place looking out on his feet and then he just comes back out of nowhere with ferocious shots....

    Cotto has to put that bodywork in to slow his opponents down, thus taking away their advantages i.e. speed, agility, reflexes, stamina etc

    Cotto is always thought of as slow which is stupid. He isn't fast but he has a great sense of range and timing.
