    I've been watching alot of cotto's fight's and i noticed that,when cotto get's rocked or hurt he doesn't know how to clinch and against a fighter like mosley u need more than just heart and determination.

    Heart and determination against mosley will just make u eat alot of punches,until the ref,the doc or your corner stop's the fight,cotto is a very good fighter,but mosley is like hopkins,because there gym rat's and there alway's in great shape.

    Cotto's biggest downfall is that he never learned how to clinch when hurt and this will cause him to take alot of punishment from mosley,corley stunned cotto,torres almost knocked cotto out,zab rocked cotto.

    Mosley will do what all 3 guy's did,but the only difference is cotto will get tko'ed or knocked out cold,cotto get's stronger as the fight goe's on,but guess what,so doe's mosley and the difference is mosley will still have his handspeed.

    Body punching-U all forget that mosley is a great body-puncher also and wouldn't be suprised if mosley stop's cotto with a body-punch,but i have a feeling mosley will have cotto hurt early and finish him off within 5 rounds,i'll just say i told u so.

    Interesting points. Add to that the fact that Shane's chin has been tested by some pretty vicious punchers and passed with flying colours. Sure Cotto can dish it out but can he take it? We're about to find out.

    I must admit, I also see only one outcome here, Mosley by UD.

    Having said that, if Cotto wins this one, he will make a believer of me.

    Not at all. This is bollocks. The only thing Cotto has shown is he has great survival skills. He has shown this against Corley, Torres and Judah. Sosa and Abdulaev caught his attention for a second with right hands but he wasn't in serious trouble. Corley, Torres and Judah tried closing the show on a hurt Cotto but failed.

    Sorry guys, Mosley isn't what he used to be and Cotto is a stone killer right in his prime.

    He also has the bruising boxer/puncher style and relentless attack to trouble a boxer like Mosley. Especially an old Mosley who's legs aren't quite the same as they once were. Not to say Mosley is shot, but Cotto is simply too strong.

    My feeling is Cotto will break him down and stop Shane between 7 and 9.

    Klitschko was accused of not clinching when in trouble and he seems to overcome that weakness in his skills set. Its important to remember these are well paid professional athletes so it is within the realm of possibility that they improve their capabilities from fight to fight. Learning how to grab someone shouldn't be too hard

    Mosley doesn't hit as hard as Zab Judah - I remember Winky Wright laughing at him and letting his guard down for a few seconds allowing Mosley to hit him as if to say "I don't respect your power!" Cottos chin is not fantastic, but it'd be one hell of a task for Mosley to rattle it.

    Cotto clearly has the superior power, and I think he'll hurt Mosley more than what he's used to particularly with precise body punching - I thought Judah could defeat Cotto with his speed, movement, and slightly awkward slick southpaw style, but Cotto proved me wrong, he cut the ring off, got a little dirty and hurt Judah with efficient well-timed powerful punching.

    I think he busts up this version of Mosely with a good decision victory.

    Cotto's an exciting fighter, but vulnerable too. One would assume that if a light-hitter like Corley could put him on ***** street, and a limited fighter like Torres knock him down - Shane might well be able to knock him out.

    Doesn't matter. Every hurdle thrown at Cotto he leaps over.
