    And technically I think Mosley is above Cotto definately. Plus arguably as good a body puncher as Cotto. These guys toe-to-toe will be interesting to watch to see who breaks first

    Technically Cotto adjusts better though he maintains his composure and sticks to the game plan. Mosley tends to get erratic when his opposition is not responding the way he'd like. One thing you do have right is the fact that someone must break for the other to win. Cotto must stick to breaking Mosley down while Mosley's best chance is to take Cotto out early. Both are not easy tasks.....

    Mosley could lose the fight in the late rounds. Let's hope that he doesn't because he can't trade body punches with Cotto. He will have to stick and move.

    True world Class, Suga Daddy is so sweet, we all gonna have some fun. Two nice, civilized guys who know the score, Shane and Miguel Angel are. But the Ricans in NYC will be in a state of pure exhilaration, rising a couple of octaves in the Garden, Miguel drawn into the pandemonium and Shane's caution born experience, graceful motion and toughness will have everybody making the two hundred and forty seven steps of the spiral staircase back to sweet mother earth in fast swirling motion.

    cotto-mosley needs no promotions, their names together are bigger than any promotion.

    too soon to say. I don't think that we have seen a prime Cotto yet, I agree with you on Mayweahter though and I'll concede that from what we have seen so far you are probably right on Cotto too

    Maybe...maybe not though, the Mosley of 5 years ago was annhilated by Forrest twice. I think he would have destroyed Cotto, but Floyd still might have been a tough fight for him strictly due to Floyds defense.


    I agree about the prediction though. I am also picking Sugar by TKO. :good

    If you've followed Cotto his entire career there is no way that you can say he is a 'limited' fighter. His style has changed a little bit because of him moving up in weight, but his mind is still the same and he can out think and out strategize fighters as good as anyone in the sport right now. The dude is a thinker he isn't a wild beast in there like darchinyan or any other mindless slugger. Cotto knows how to win rounds and he will show this when he fights Mosley.

    Prime Mosley might be a class above but I think that this version of the Sugar man is going to be beat on the 10th of November. I got the feeling that he is going to want to trade with Cotto which mean he will be getting brutalized with body shots all night. For Mosley to win he must fight on the outside using his superior jab and footspeed to keep Cotto from getting on the inside. My prediction Cotto TKO 9th round
