    HAAHHA YOU RIGHT THAT WAS FUNNY....LOL Shane punches as hard as cotto..wow....lol..Shane would have to catch cotto with something he doesnt see. If Shane trades you might seen Shane get stopped for the first time..Shane never ate body shots like what cotto is going to bring. Shane can take a big punch. I dont know if he can take exchanging with cotto. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FIGHT OF THE YEAR. Better then zab/cotto b/c shane likes to exchange boy oh boy.....boxing if ****ing back...you cannot complain...:happy

    Mosley doesn't sit down on his punches anymore, and i see that as a problem for him if he fights Cotto...but Mosley's handspeed will still be a problem for Cotto, and Mosley is alot more disciplined than the Judah Cotto beat...it's a toss-up fight but i'll say Mosley takes a SD...

    Same here buddy . . . Shane is one of my all time fav but here I'm torn between the two. I don't really know who to root for. :D

    My instincts tells me the young Cotto will beat the Old warrior but my heart says Mosley.:yep

    Shane also has one KO in the last six years, and that came against a shot, weight drained Fernando Vargas.

    I cant pick this one just yet, but I'm favoring Cotto slightly right now.

    As for the power issue with SSM?? Since he left 35 and moved to 47
    he's had 17 fights 12 wins 4 losses, and 7 Ko's with 1 No contest.
    He doesnt have 1 punch power at this weight but still has pretty decent pop with over 50% Ko ratio.

    I dont see Mosley winning by KO in this, if he wins. I also cant believe Cotto stops him either, Shanes as tough as they make em. He took convincing beatings from Forrest and Wright and still finished the fights.

    This definitely sounds like a decision and could go either way, I guess I'm hoping Cotto wins as PBf will attempt to push the timeline way out if he beats Hatton and is called upon to face the winner. And old Mosley will only be that much older and this war with Cotto will likely take somne starch out of him, even if he pulls the W.

    Yeah.. Oscar got a big left hook. But cotto bangs hard and fast with both hands..A guy you dont want to exchange with. Period. Shane does not hit as hard as cotto. Shane hits smart..but not hard consistently like cotto. Cotto never throws a lazy jab let alone an arm punch:hi:

    everybody knows i am probably the biggest cotto fan on this board, if he was fighting anyone else i would have already made the thread:

    'cotto is going to hit _ _ _ _ _ _ so hard that he is going to need a proctologist to find his gumshield' just like i did for the judah fight

    but to say mosley doesn't hit as hard as cotto is just stooopid, mosley has power, cotto hardley ever knocks anyone out early, he breaks them down, malignaggi was able to trade with him and survive, so did judah until the 11th.

    Totally agree that Mosley doesn't hit as hard as Cotto. Mosley is faster but Cotto is more consistent. Both are good combination punchers, but I feel that Cotto is the better in close quarters, and I can't see that lazy jab from Shane keeping Cotto at bay.

    as long as Cotto works that body, Shane does have fast hands though so did Zab and that didnt help. I expect Shane to actually make the fight close though, but the roll that Cotto has been on I aint counting him out here he is younger and hungry.
