    do you think his win would be more significant than any of mayweather's victories since he went up to 140? I would believe so. I would actually say that if Cotto beats Mosley, his resume at 140 and 147 will be better than Mayweather's resume from 140 and 147.

    Anyone agree? Disagree?

    Cotto KO'ing Mosley woudl be no bigger than Floyd beating Oscar. I still say Oscar will KO Cotto, Margarito, and Hatton.

    It would definitly be bigger. Shane Mosley is a guy who beat DLH twice and if Cotto wins by knockout it would mean much much more than Mayweather winning a disputable decision over inactive DLH.

    How can you say it wouldnt be bigger than Floyd beating Oscar? Number 1, it would be a much more impressive victory simply b/c it is a KO. Number 2, Mosley beat Oscar twice (although, i believe Oscar won the 2nd fight). Mayweather made it seem as if Oscar was the best fighter out there to cement his legacy when it clearly was not the case. The best left fighter was Mosley, not Oscar.

    Disputable only to the judges and Floyd haters. Let's be realistic though. Cotto is not gonna KO Mosley. If anything Cotto will go to sleep. He had way too much trouble with Zab to **** wit the Sugar Man!

    How many times do I have to say Shane turned down a fight with Floyd before Floyd fought Oscar?

    If Cotto KO's Mosley - it will definitely be bigger than the win Mayweather has over De La Hoya.

    We're talking about him stopping a guy that's never been stopped and only down once. He would have did what no other boxer has done - something Oscar didn't even get close to doing.

    Cotto winning by KO is something that's not going to happen - I see him getting stopped by Mosley. Too much power and speed.

    And stop bad mouthing that man for not taking the fight with Floyd last year. After two fights with Vargas and dropping 7 pounds to try and fight the best boxer in the business - I wouldn't call that being prepared. Oscar took a whole year off before fighting Floyd. We've all seen what can happen when you go down in weight and take on a pretty good fighter - just as Roy Jones what happen to him for the Tarver fight - Taver vs. B-hop, or Allen Green vs. Miranda.

    I diagree with your take on it mate! I think if Cotto does win by KO, then that's highly impressive. Shane has never been TKO/KO'd as a professional. If Cotto wins, it will be a good, solid win, over a top-class fighter. If it is by TKO/KO, then that will be a splendid result indeed.

    I'm backing Cotto to win, but I think he'll do extrmely well to win by KO. Mosley is a smooth operator & will pose problems for Miguel.

    Definitly disputable to many observers and commentators around the world. Its funny how this very close fight becomes more and more and more of a blowout for Mayweather (so his nutthuging fans claim)

    That's my whole point. Let's try to keep the topics realistic. Of course it would be bigger than Floyd beating Oscar but who really believes Cotto can KO the Sugar Man? C'mon now!

    How was it disputable? I never said it was a blowout but what was Oscar really landing with all those worthless flurries? Floyd won by at least 3 rounds.

    Excuse me? Outpointing Oscar is as difficult a proposition as knocking out Mosley? Despite one feat having been accomplished before, more than once, and the other having not even been come close to in just under 50 professional fights?
