Cotto is Going to Beat Shane

Shane won't hurt Cotto at 147 lbs, Cotto won't be deterred by Mosley's pawing jab. Cotto wins in impressive fashion.

 

It aint the jab that Cotto is going to have to worry about. Mosley will pound right hands on Cotto all fight long.

 

Shane stops him early

 

Let's not forget that Cotto's defense needs work, He always gets stunned pretty bad at some point of the fight and I just think that Shane has the experience and power to capitalize on that, something that Cotto's previous opponents have not been able to do...However if Cotto's defense is Much improved he can pull it off.

 

this is a toss up. both fighters have the advantage. Cotto with his youth and power, and mosley with his experience and speed. If i had to bet on it , I would say Cotto

 

SSM is the truth and I can see it resembling Mosley v Rivera

 

This is said before many Cotto fights and he has been stunned, but has always come back to win. The questions are is Mosely way stronger than Cotto at 147 or is this weight below his best now and perfect for Cotto. Has Mosely slowed enough with age to make him more vulnerable to Cotto. Will Cotto's relentless attack be to much for Cotto. Age, speed, relentless attack and power - The usual elements withe a little more intrigue because of who these guys are.

Either way the sport is a winner, two of our best in every sense facing off. I will be nervous for both, delighted for the winner, sorry for the loser, I can't wait!

 

I am fu$kin hyped like a motha f$#ka!!!!

I am definitley heading to this bout... The Zab fight was crazy live... Party at the New York New York Hotel!

 

Mosley TKO6 Vargas 7/15/2006

 

That was at 154, and I consider Vargas's chin to be sturdier than Cotto's. I'm a pretty big Cotto fan, as well as a fan of SSM, but IMO this is a bad styles match-up for Cotto.

 

Mosley being my favorite boxer...

Mosley can not punch as hard as Cotto, he could at 154 when he was focusing more on power than speed and lifting a ton.

But after the Collazo fight it seems hes back to his old school ways with his speed and timing.

But that is only one fight so who knows, maybe hes still lifting more than usual as he was at 154 (i doubt it). Bottom line, i think Mosley can punch as hard as Cotto if he wants to, he just likes using his speed.
