    zab, torres and corley landed less harder shots that wobbled him. but is anyone else surprised those loaded rights shane were landing did'nt have any effect? i guess it really was making weight at 140 that was giving cotto punch resistance issues.

    I was called '****ing nuts, crazy' by a couple of ******s for saying that Mosley wouldn't be able to hurt Cotto. Cotto's chin is very good, much better than it was when he was fighting weight drained.

    Zab fought him at 147. Cotto chin is not great but it is not as bad as people thought it was.

    I was impressed with Cotto's performance and I am not a big Cotto fan.

    he definitely needs to take the winner of Hatton/PBF.

    He took several chopping rights that made me cringe.

    :rofl The good chin bad chin stuff is alot of bull**** ! Its about focus and circumstances alot of the time ! prepare for a big puncher and your careful ! take an easy fight and get caught ! thats how it works and its the reason a guy like PETER takes VLADS shots but almost gets koed by MCCLINES ! The same applys in reverce to COTTO in this fight !:deal FORMEN appeared to have a better chin in his 40s then when he was young but it was simply a matter of fighting strategy !:bbb

    corley and malinaggi are'nt big punchers either, but they still wobbled cotto. his chin is definitely better than people give it credit for. once shane saw cotto shake those punches off that sealed the fight. very good performance from both guys. winky should just drop off the p4p rankings as cotto's win should elevate him a bit higher.

    his handspeed surprised me as well. his hands are definitely faster than i thought. he showed a good jab as well, very impressive performance tonight.

    Doesnt suprise me because "ITS THE SHOTS YOU DONT SEE COMING THAT HURT YOU" and Shane is the type of fighter doesnt do defense and offense at the same time hes not that much of a counter puncher..he does one or the other.

    Proved he has a chin, but what was with not moving foward during the last 1/4 of the fight?

    Only thing I can think of is he was maybe sitting on a lead avoiding danger, which means some worry about being ko'd.. Or a different view could be that they trained for something the saw in Mosely and were trying to set him up for a K.O. or something..

    He can deal with good speed. Was he gassing, hurt and protecting himself?
    Just doesn't make sense to me..

    Mosely had one of the highest ko ratio's in boxing for a while. I don't think he has big 1 punch Julian Jackson like power, its cumulative..

    He showed a good chin but Mosley is not the puncher he used to be. Especially like he was at 135.
