Mosley a class above Cotto

Cotto is going to make Mosley remember his age. :yep

 

I guess I'm nuts. :nut

 

'Mosley is a class above Cotto'

Yep, he probably is, but Cotto has a real relentless style, Mosley is 35, and has definately declined, so the fight is still a 50-50 IMHO

 

Cotto has shown the ability to walk to fire and come out victorious, he's intellegent enough to understand its not about beating a fighter at his own game its about forcing a fighter to fight at his pace. For example Paulie, Quintana and Zab where all considered either faster and/or slicker than Cotto yet Cotto seemed to time each fighter extremely well. Mosley will utilize his speed and combonation punching to keep Cotto at bay but eventually Cotto's pressure will cause Mosley to go to his instincts and trade on the inside. Mosley's reach and speed advantages will become null as Cotto's short accurate thudding counters will reach its target consistantly. Mosley tends to sway away from his game plan as he is not the most disciplined of fighters he will allow Cotto work and one thing is for sure win, lose or draw Cotto will charge forwarded cutting off the rind and sticking to the blue print. Mosley's greatest strengths will play a large factor into his down fall he seems to believe in his own hype while Cotto is determined to develop into a fighter that has the hype and status of a Sugar Shane Mosley. Fans seem to mistaken Cotto as a brawler when infact his a disecting pressure fighter. In the past Cotto would open up feeling he can overpower his opposition he learned in the Zab fight that its better to counter and trap.....Cotto's jab is not pawing but thudding and it will find its target, at first glance one would think Shane has the better jab when in fact its merely a range finder for his overhand right. Cotto will move under that pawing jab all night work the body and counter at the head. Of course theres always the chance Shane stop Cotto he has the power and exp to do so.

 

Why do you say Cotto?

 

Cotto by UD

 

How can you guys pick Cotto????? ...he fights flatfooted and always has... he has to be in position to punch.. even tho Mosley is 35 hes still a young 35 and hasnt diminished THAT much...

 

just because you have a different opinion to others, it does not mean they are wrong.

 

Don't worry dude Mosley has a great chance at winning, hopefully he's implemented a great follow through with his power punches, Shane has a tendency of focusing more on the speed of his punches rather than the follow through something I'm told from people around Cotto's camp that Miguel will exploit. I ran into Collazo again at Strada night club on Saturday they had a Halloween bash and Collazo said Cotto's got Mosley's combo's blue printed though he will mostly go off instinct.

 

Not true - Cotto has been on the balls of his feet in past fights. He has great footwork as well which means that he is always in position to punch.
