Sorry, I don't think Cotto will have any problems with Mosley. None whatsoever. Mosley isn't strong enough at 147 to hurt Cotto and that's what it takes to keep him off you. Cotto might TKO Mosley.
and thats exactly what will get him beat imo in this fight... i see shane catching him all night with faster, sharper punches, and when they trade, cotto will barely see the punches coming the way he fights, imo,
You have great points and I agree with you almost completely,I was only stating that Cotto may have a better idea of what he is going up against because he has faced lot of fighters with speed,of course not even close to Mosley in terms of general skills(power,speed,5or6 punch combos,stamina)in other words a class A fighter.Still, even having faced bigger guys like Vargas and Estrada who put a lot pressure,they are not Miguel Angel Cotto, in terms of aggressiveness there are few like him.Like I said before Mosley has the resume of course he can win no doubt about it, it's just that I feel Cotto's unique style of pressure is one thing he's never seen as Cotto has never fought a "Sugar" Shane Mosley.Looking foward to your article,thanks.:vonnecunt
Mosley has more than enough at 147 to give Cotto all kinds of problems and plenty of pop to hurt him. If Cotto continues to expose that chin of his so much... it will be Cotto getting stopped.
Yeah Cotto can do it but he should'nt try to box him though he should take this one to the street and try to out work him.
Interesting fight. Mosley is BY FAR the best fighter Cotto has ever faced. Cotto will move forward and throw bombs, But he will have to be willing to take as good as give in this one to be successful. Cotto will have to try & outbox Mosley & not count on the knockout. De La Hoya couldn't do it in twenty four rounds. The big key is who gets hurt first, which could alter the fightplan in a big way. If Cotto gets stung & loses his aggressiveness, he will be deadmeat. If Mosley gets hurt & starts to backpeddle as against Forrest. Cotto's pressure will be too much. Either way it will be an interesting fight...
I am edging out on a win for Mosley, but only because of his experience at top lvl. Still - Cotto is the future.
Peole underestimate Cotto's other abilities such as his, jab he has a great jab,Judah could not even see it,plus he can switch to south pole when he likes.
Cotto in a war for the ages. Two great fighters one on the rise one on the decline (only slightly) and two guys that represent our sport as well as any one does.
I think Mosley will look descent throughout the fight but Cotto's body attack will take its toll and Cotto will take over and punish Shane.
Hey you *******! Where we gonna see Calderon-Cazares huh? This fight will be a hellish, punishing affair in which both fighters will lose a lot. I see Cotto coming out on top, or at least I hope because I'm a big fan, but it's certainly not guaranteed, even with a Mosley who has lost a step or two. He may not be the destructive force he was at lightweight or at his beginnings at welter but he sure can rise to the occasion. Regardless, i see both fighters taking rather detrimental punishment, which will not bode well for their careers. In regards of Mosley facing someone like Cotto before, he sure has and certainly Cotto's style is not a very difficult puzzle to solve. The key point is, as you said, "at this point in his career". Can't wait for this fight!!
