Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Shane Mosley

No way in hell. Cotto is the truth, and come November the rest of the world will see. Cotto is SOOO much better then Vargas. Better technically, quicker, stonger, more powerful and a better combination puncher. Mosley has never IMO looked great against GOOD pressure fighters, and doesn't have the jab to keep Cotto at bay. COtto will get inside and go to work all night long!

 

I got Mosely by UD, I think that the only way he's going to lose this one is if he suddenly gets old over night.

My boy mosley takes this one, too fast, too skilled, too big too strong.... GO SHANE CAUSE IT WONT BE A WALK IN THE PARK!!!

 

Papa Jack Mosley throws in the white towel after 8 rounds of punishment. Mosley's face will be brutally disfigured. Garden going crazy. Cotto remains the Welterweight King.:happy

Bernard said the same thing bringing back recollections of Tito B-Hop 2001 middleweight series final in the Fast&Furious Presser, Shane should use his experience and speed advantages to win rounds and sustain Miguel's accelerations, the PRican enormous physicality but ponderous attacks, Bob Arum also made it pretty clear that Miguel is the bravest for facing the hardest opposition out there... I always said that the trick here is Mosley's punch momentum (or torque) and power in the physic sense ( strength (force) multiplies speed) - he uses good body movement to charge up his punches whereas Miguel accelerates but then discharges stronger techniques only from almost still positions... I also believe Shane has more chances to drop Miguel since he can create more angles to counter but not if he stands still and tries to discourage his opponent tryin to prove he can take it cause not even he knows if he can or not!

 

At first glance and on paper Cotto seems to hold a lot advantage:

he has superior firepower
he's young
he can sustain his attack up to later rounds
he has the crowd (the bout will be in the US, but new york has a huge PR population so it's cotto's playing field)
and he's undefeated and has the title, thereby bringing the required confidence needed entering these type of fights.


But there's one intagible that can turn this fight around hugely, experience.


Im leaning on Mosley to win by stoppage on this fight. he's been there, done that, and IMO, he has sufficient pop in his fist to deal damage on Cotto. Plus, Shane is a very underrated technician, he may not have the same defensive abilities he had at 135, but his handspeed is still there, something that bothered cotto against judah. His footwork is still there too(and i don't mean dancing, i mean proper position of feet to maximize the power of punches) Shane is also much tougher and doesn't fade in the later rounds. Lastly, Mosley is an explosive finisher. He may not have one-punch KO power, but what makes him dangerous is he knows how to get his man outta there.

 

Damn I Wish The Fight Was This Coming Weekend, This Is Some Good ****!! Cotto By Late Round Stoppage!!!

 

What's wrong with what he said? Torres almost had him out in two.

 

Cotto by disfigurement. Jin wont recognize Mosley after its all said and done. :happy

 

Torres, Corley and Malignaggi all wobble Cotto.

Mosley, even at this stage has more power and technique than all of them.

He'll catch and hurt Cotto and when he does, he'll finish him.

 

atsch please just shut the **** up.

 

Malignaggi? :think I must have missed this. :yep

 

You don't remember Paulie shaking Cotto's knees? I'll see if I can find it on my lunch break in about a half hour. It happened.

Now it wasnt nearly to the extent of Torres or Corley, but the fact that the feather fisted Malignaggi could even knock Cotto backwards and make his knees buckle is a VERY, VERY serious issue.
