I like Cotto but...

I like cotto as a fighter,but i dont think he can hang with the likes of williams,margarito,mosley or mayweather,there in a diff class,but this mosley fight would be a good learning process for cotto,i just hope it doesn't ruin cotto,because i enjoy his fight's.

As for dominican's and all that i have cuban,dominican and lot's of puerto rican friend's u must not have looked at my lady friend on my profile avatar,she's puerto rican and i'm a new yorker so it's all hood.

I love cotto as a fighter,but williams is too much for cotto,mosley too slick and experienced for cotto,margarito will be too strong for cotto,mayweather too skilled for cotto,but clottey would be perfect for cotto,because it's a even fight.

 

The fact that you put Cotto and Clottey on the same level scares me.

 

I'm surprised Cotto is fighting Mosley. I was really hoping he would fight Mayweather next. I believe Cotto is ready for Mayweather. Win or lose he wont be the same fighter after Mosley, I feel this fight will be a war that will take a lot from both guys.

 

Is it November yet?????????????????????

 

:deal

 

Trouble, I've been following Mosely since the begining of his career he's going down as one of the greats no doubt about it. This will be an incredible fight that will be talked about for ages but the only way I see Mosely winning is if he can back Cotto up. We all know Mosely will not stay on the outside and box Cotto for 12rds he's a ballzy mofo and will fight inside. If Mosely does not back Cotto up he will lose.....:deal

 

Cotto is winning this fight.

All you experts picking against him, better give him the credit he deserves when he wins.

I'm sick of people picking against him every fight, and then giving him no credit when he wins.

He wins this fight, and he better be in everyone's top 10 p4p.

 

I don't think so. Mosley's speed will pay huge dividends when they go toe to toe. Cotto is not too hard to hit, neither is Shane for that matter, but Mosley has the better beard. Mosley is too smart and too experienced to let Cotto blast him in the body all night. It will be a great fight that Mosley will win regardless of if he backs Cotto up IMO. But on a side note, I think he will back Cotto up.:yep

 

Thank you captain obvious!:good Please give us another spectacular post.:smoke

This is how I see the fight going…Shane and Cotto will do little feeling out Shane will make first contact as Cotto like to feel out his opponent before waging all out war. Shane will move early pop shot Cotto and occasionally exchange in pockets. Cotto will counter effectively slowly timing Mosely and landing small combo’s that are high on the power/accuracy level and less on the volume level. Mosely looks smooth when he’s comfortable with his combos though he tends to not follow through with his punches they are meant to hurt but shane does not like to comment his entire body to his punches because it leave room for counters. Shane’s defense is average at best he does utilize much upper body movement when defending and this is why fighters with good jabs often land and land frequently on Shane. Shane depends more on his leg movement for defense. Cotto is not the quickest fighter in the division and most of us know this but his speed is underrated, Cotto relies more on instinct and logic when studying a fighter’s movements and habits in the ring this is why Cotto has been able to nullify fighters with faster hands. Cotto will allow shane to throw at will in moments in the fight just so he can work his way under Shanes punches to reach his body. Cotto will occasionally catch Shane in the face frustrating him and making Shane take out his frustrations by upping his punch output which will allow Cotto to counter with cleaner my effective and more importantly more efficient punches. The difference in this fight will be patience Cotto can be hit and can be hurt but he cannot be rattled he does not lose focus and he does surrender. Shane is almost impossible to hurt but he can be rattled he can be frustrated and he can lose focus. Shanes determination will always be their but his superior athleticism will be his greatest trait and his biggest mistake in this fight. Cotto will utilize Shanes physically gifts against him and slowly break him down. Cotto will punch through the target head to body, while shane will punch the target mostly head. Cotto can also be tested to the body but Shane will rarely be in position to land effective body shots because Cotto’s body is mostly vulnerable during times when both fighters are dancing in the ring and not in the pocket. Shane will concentrate on landing strong combo’s to the head while in the pocket and Cotto will mix his attack staying low with straight rights to distract his body attack. Both fighters will have their moments Shane will look good but in consistent while Cotto will slowly wear him down taking the late rounds and running away with a well fought SD or UD.

 

I don't think Cotto will have trouble with Shane's speed. He has dealt with his fair share of speedy boxers in Malignaggi and Judah and was able to nutralize their speed by cutting off the ring and hitting the body. Mosley definitely has proven to be the smarter fighter thus far, but I'm confident that Cotto will show off his smarts in this fight.
