    he'd be cotto? i'm guessing you meant beat cotto. and no, he doesn't. it would be just like the first one. close, but cotto would take it. this point is void anyways...

    No, Shane would have knocked him out no matter what happened in the past. Mosley was hitting him more regularly with power shots compared to Cotto, plus they were more powerful punches.

    He didn't knock out Cotto because Cotto has a defence.

    yep. for another division title.

    viC wanted the rematch but it was shaw that denied it (rightfully so too).

    he's still one of the hardest punchers in the sport p4p vs brittle slaps & wushu practice.

    quack.

    See where Vics left glove is there? Well he wants to learn to do the same with his right hand too because if he doesn't the next person who (unlikeAgbeko) can throw a tight left hook is replacing his 2 with a 3 !

    And you really think people are ever going to give your opinion any credence after you said "Joe Calzaghe is the Greatest Of All Time."

    You just can't compare that, SRR went all the way up to 128-1 with his only loss to a bigger La Motta. Joe only had 46 pro fights. Argue all you want that Joe would surpass 128-1 but the fact of the matter is he didn't and he will never surpass that. No one can stay unbeaten forever, not even Joe.

    Could, would and should will never equal "did".
