    The Mosley of 5 yrs ago would have annhilated Cotto and Mayweather; I still think he has enough left at 35 to kick Cottos ass, by KO in the middle rds. Going to be fight of the year!

    This aint 5 years ago.

    Cotto is taking this one in style.

    Im excited but I hate it when you see two of your favourite fighters duking it out because you dont want to see either lose. Its like watching your two favourite Pokemon fight to the death.

    I agree that if Mosley does not have Cotto out of there by the middle rds then Cotto will win but I see Mosley getting off to a good start and wearing him down by rd 6.. I think the superior chin wins

    Mosley's chin is great, but cotto will also go for the body a lot, and chin does not help there.

    Cotto is a good fighter but I think too limited for Mosley.

    There's a mist of intriguing drama surrounding this bout I mean the opinions are so vast.

    I've watched both men fight for years now and I feel Cotto is the more versitile fighter and Mosley is the more limited. Mosley is surely the more physically gifted but technically he is quite one dimensional, many fight fans are blinded by his speed, power and quick combo's but once Shane is timed right he can be frustrated and thrown completly off track while Cotto is like a rock, focused and determined. It will be a test of will's who will gut it out.

    Mosley 5 years ago puts both Cotto and PBF 5 years back taking their experience they have now away so thats not fair to say.

    I still thinks Floyd gives him a run for his money because he is just that talented but i could see him losing as would Cotto....but we are here now and i think both Cotto and Floyd can whoop his ass.

    Me too, Shane's chin and hand speed will win the fight.

    ....wasnt Mosley on the Juice 5 years back???? :think

    Regardless of the fact, what bothers me about Mosely is how he faired against a shell of his former self Vargas. Many people like to point out how he did in the rematch but I like to look at the first bout where Vargas was landing and pushing Mosley back with sporadic pressure and slow right and left hooks. Of course Cotto will be tagged coming in but Cotto's is excellent at cutting of the ring and I'm sure he will create the right kind of angles to fend off Mosley's attack.
