    Shane is one of my all time favorite fighters, but I think Cotto is going to punish his body. He will have a difficult time with Shanes combos early, but to keep Cotto off you have to have a great jab, and more than anything Shane paws with his jab these days.

    Cotto will catch him late.

    Im afraid the Cotto freight train stops here.Stylistically Shane is a nightmare for anyone at 47.His chin is sound and he can punch just as hard as Cotto.This will be a war thats for dam sure and surely has FOTY written all over it. Boxing is back on the map! I hope this fight gets more PR than that Winky B Hop debacle.

    Unless Mosley gets alot older over night I think he will TKO Cotto who may be powerful but is there to be hit.

    Yes but Mosely punches best in combination, and so leaves himself to be countered by Cotto. Once he feels that body punishment he will throw less.

    Like I said, you have to have a tremendous jab to throw Cotto off and to lead your combos. You need that split second on him that a solid jab affords you and Shane doesnt fight like that these days.

    SSM has 37 KO's out of 44 wins so he can definitely crack and has been fighting bigger and beeter opposition as well.

    No doubt he can crack.

    However, many of his KOs came at 135lb where he was a huge fighter.

    Also, he punches in combination, Im talking about 1 shot power, which I can guarantee he does not have more of than Cotto.

    Just ask yourself who you would rather have punch you in the ribs.

    Cotto has shown in the past that hand and foot speed are not a problem for him. Mosley's heart and determination could be problems though.
