I will say it isnt likely that he would Ko shane, but then again, have you ever seen anyone take it to shane's body the way Cotto will?
THAT WOULD BE BIG!!!....BIGGER than Mayweathers Split non-action decision over DLH....i still think stlyes make fights, and Coto would get schooled by Floyd...too quick, too defensive!
Have you ever seen someone take it to Cotto with precise punches, speed, intelligence, and power as Shane will?
I agree, but the haters wont, they will use excuses of Shane being old this that and the other, no respect will be given until Cotto beats Floyd or beats the guy who beats Floyd.
Cotto will prove how physically strong he is when he manhandles Mosley. I think he will do it and he will make Mosley feel his age and consider retirement when he gets blasted to his body. I personally think Cotto will grind out an UD.
I doubt Cotto KO's Mosley as he has never been KO'd. If he did...it would be damn impressive and his stock would skyrocket. I wish he could do it ...but I don't think he will be able to pull it off. If he did, it would be after punishing Mosley to the body. Cotto UD is much more likely.
I thought by Mac you were refering to me. Yes Cotto has devastating power, his opponents look like this guy from the Goonies when Cotto is done with them. I wouldnt be surprised if he scores a late round TKO.
Well, isn't Mosely older than that "over-the-hill, part-time boxer and full-time promoter" who a lot people give Mayweather **** for winning a "questionable" SD over? :huh
The details are still being worked out. Bob Arum also stated: Fighters have to realize that there's just so much money that's available. I think it will get finalized sometime this week or next. It's the best fight for both of them at the moment.
Mac, you're right in that no one has yet to take it to Cotto with speed, power, precision, and heart all combined in one person. BUT, I will say that Cotto has dealt with each one individually. With Zab, he dealt with possibly the fastest opponent he will face with a decent, yet overrated punch. With Paulie and Zab, there was a good amount of speed, much more than Cotto. Paulie showed a great deal of heart. Cotto would have easily KO'd him had the ref not let Paulie hold so much. I suppose we will have to see how Cotto deals with someone with all those qualities in one. I still believe that Shane will age over night in the ring against the far too strong and aggressive Cotto. In Shanes prime, we may not be having this convo, but in my honest opinion, Cotto is a Duran reincarnate and Mosley's time is up. He will not be able to keep Cotto off of him.
Maciek4, I like the goonies analogy. People keep saying how slow Cotto is, but I say to them this....How in the world does a slow fighter destroy his opponents faces the way Cotto does. Afterall, if you're a slow fighter, aren't you suppose to find it difficult to find the heads of slick boxers. I would go as far as to say that I think of all the fighters I've ever seen, I have never seen more opponents faces brutally beaten than with Cotto. As a matter of fact. I'm going to start a thread on that. Perhaps Judah, Quintana, Branco, Paulie, Abdullev, and Carlos Maussa can help figure out what other fighters have done more face lifts than Cotto has.
