Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Shane Mosley

Wow, it's split exactly 50/50.

 

What makes Cotto anymore made to order than Jose Luis Cruz or David Estrada? And would you say Shane "looked like a beast" in those fights? I wouldn't.

No he didn't look like a beast against them. But keep in mind Shane was just coming off back to back losses to Winky and he was using a NEW TRAINER for the first time in his career for those two fights. You'll see, Cotto is made to order for Mosley.

 

Cotto by Kayo arround the 8th round with a bodyshot.

 

you dont think mosley is an all time great?

 

Who has a better Jab???:think

 

im a fan of both guys but my 1st feeling when they were linked as possibe opponents was a mosley win,so i think mosley sd possible mid-late ko depended on how early cotto feels the left hook,cant wait for this 1!

 

May end up being the best superfight this year. Both guys are hungry. I think Cotto is 26 is steadily has been rising since his pro debut. Mosley is a hungry former champion with enough left to win another title and stamp the nickename Sugar where it belongs. Very close but I side with Mosley. He hasnt been in any wars. Never been stopped, dropped only twice, and has the heart of a lion. I think this is the fight that gives him a legendary career. The past few years have been up and down for Mosley and he wants to go out with a bang. Cotto may underestimate the 35 year old former champ because of age. Mosley is taller, which he dominates shorter guys, and will be stronger is not strong as Cotto. Cotto depends on aggression and strength and it could be his downfall in this fight. Mosley is the more versatile fighter and his handspeed will let him hit Cotto more than he gets hit. Cotto may hit harder but Mosley has the harder chin. Close fight but experience, boxing skills, and speed get a close win by 11th round Stoppage for Mosley.

 

was going with Cotto at first but now im saying Mosley TKO late...whoever goes to the body early and often will wear down the other, but that's where Mosley's edge in handspeed and movement will come thru...

 

That seems about right.

 

I originally though Cotto by stoppage. After pondering it over I am going with Shane Mosely by razor thin decision. I could easily envision Cotto getting a decision, but would be suprised to see Mosely get stopped. I think Cotto will be dropped at least once in this fight.
