    Cotto, Its good to see how someone adapts, which was more visible in the Cotto fight.

    I voted Mosley.

    Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

    But Mosley was the number 1 WW, ranked p4p number 3 and was coming off the best win of his career (a destruction of Margarito, who had just destroyed Cotto).

    And most people thought Floyd was too "scared" to fight Mosley.

    Not only did he, but he dominated the hell out of him (getting "one up" on Pac who pulled out of negotiations to fight a guy named Clottey).

    Cotto by far.

    It was at 154 (out of his comfort zone).
    Cotto was close to his best.
    Cotto of last night destroys Mosley circa 2010.
    He has a jail sentence hanging over him.

    Above 147? Or 147 and up?

    I assume you mean the latter (based on the thread title), just wanted to clarify. He's only had 2 fights above 147 (the other being Dela Hoya).

    he beat mosly easier and mosly wasnt even really there to fight, as he was there to survive and pick up a cheque at the end.:hey

    Cotto gave Floyd a good active fight, so the Cotto fight was by far the best imo:rasta

    Cotto fight.

    Cotto came to win.

    Mosley came to cash in.


    Big Difference

    This.

    Mosley was only a 3/1 dog while Cotto was a 7/1 dog.

    Bull****. Mosley came to fight but he was getting dominated so badly, he got discouraged. Missing regularly tires you out significantly and also discourages you mentally.

    Cotto. Mosley has been a shell for years minus that Margarito aberration.
