    Fine, DLH is bigger and stronger than Cotto and Mosely was able to handle his power too. The point I was making is that I don't know if Cotto will be able to wear down and batter Mosley like he has his other opponents. Mosley has been in there with some big, strong guys and has handled himself well. If Cotto can't overpower Mosely, it will be interesting to see what plan B is.

    I agree. I am not sure that he will be able to overpower Mosley. The dynamics of this match are very interesting.

    There lies another part of the interesting context of this fight. Mosley is NOT the same fighter he was. However, he is certainly still a good fighter as of his last fight. But he is at that age where he could get old overnight very quick. I don't think he will, but it is part of the dynamic.

    Also, how crafty is Mosley now. Older fighters sometimes get old, but then get crafty and get even harder to beat for young guys. The whole thing is interesting.

    I agree.

    I'd favor Shane by TKO

    Mosely doesn't like pressure and is open to body work, that makes it all the more interesting. I'd rate Mosely at maybe 80% of his best in the Collazo bout and I'm sure he's coming in here fantastic because it could end up a legacy win.

    I've got Cotto as my pick and I think he'll win it well, but I feel it will be an interesting bout, one worth cancelling all plans to watch.

    But the most effective way to beat Mosley has been at the end of a long jab. Both Forrest and Wright employed this strategy to great effect. Pressuring him works, but he may also open up and I think he hits hard enough to hurt Cotto.

    Is that your reason Cotto wins :lol: No fighter wants to get hit to the body. Mosley by UD, possible late KO
