Mosley by UD, he can work from distance, he's a good counter puncher, and he packs some power behind those punches. I doubt Mosley can KO cotto but if that happens I will be greatly impressed.
This is the one opponent I can confidently say Miguel has little chance of knocking out. It's a toss-up for me.
Cotto has to do what he now has a shitload of experience doing! He needs to cut the ring down, work the body, invest with well placed head shots, slow Mosley down and turn the heat up. Cotto is a rising tide that eventually overwhelms all that stands in his way! Is Mosley the man to stop the rising tide? I like what Cotto is about and I believe (like Lamps said for Judah) that Shane will find himself on the wrong side of a rising tide! This fight is 50-50. The young gun looking for greatness against the old vet who has seen your kind before. A changing of the guard or maybe even a Duran-Moore 2007?!?!?!?!?! I am just going to immerse myself in the brillance of this match up! PLUS, if Floyd vacates his 147 belt to fight Hatton at 140 then this fight will be for the lineal title.
Unless SSM is faded from age, and I don't think he is, I think he will KO/TKO Cotto. Too fast, too strong, too experienced.
thats what i been saying speed with power (zab) with training and conditioning (mosley) cotto is going to have trouble...did people completly forget how hurt cotto was against zab torres...even ****ing CORLEY...now if anyone knows anythign corley is a technician he wins by jabbing being slick and just not getting hit his punces are point getters...and he made cotto's legs do all types of breack dance. cotto is a brutal puncher and his style doesnt respect a jab and thats is a dangerous thing for mosley if his jab or power cant back him up then thats it.
Shane doesnt really use a jab.Its more like a range finder so he can throw power shots.Either way whoever has the better chin as this fight will be at close quarters and we all know thats Shane.
I'm going to put them as high as I can. Cotto beats a great fighter and Mosley beats a huge threat in his era while getting on abit (at least on his birth certificate).
