Mosley by Brutal KO!!!!

If Mosley connects with a left hook similar to the one he hit Vargas with, Cotto will go down

I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with how convincingly Mosley dominates Cotto. Cotto's lack of defense is really going to cause problems for him against Mosley. Remember, the guys Mosley lost to are tall, physically gifted technicians with great jabs. Cotto's power is not going to cause Mosley any trouble at all, and besides his power is overrated. It took him 11 straight rounds of punishment and landing clean shots to do what Kostya Tszyu did with one punch against Judah. Mosley has fought a lot of guys who hit harder than Cotto, and Mosley will get the better of the exchanges because of his superior handspeed. Mosley also hits at least as hard as Cotto, and has a much better chin. He's going to win a wide UD or knock Cotto out

 

Some of you mo'****ers need to look up the word hyperbole... atsch

 

Cotto by TKO 10th round. I think you people overate SSM event if hes a good boxer hes not swarming or brawling anymore so i don't see how he could KO Cotto. Cotto have an excellent chin and he will get inside to land some Hard shots at Mosley who will go down but will stand up until the ref stops the fight.

 

Mosley TKO Cotto

 

Cotto will annihilate Mosley, wtf are all of you smoking. Shane is a hasbeen.

 

Don't know if it'll happen in this fight (possible), but a knockout loss WILL happen at some time in Cotto's career.

 

The current version of Mosley is EASILY better than anyone Cotto has fought

 

Surely you're kidding. His chin is decent, the only thing that kept him from getting stopped against Corley is that Corley doesn't know how to finish. And nobody's ever going to mistake Chop Chop for a big puncher. Cotto was totally out on his feet in that fight and Chop Chop let him off the hook

 

I would say too many people aren't acknowledging that the Mosley that fought the second Vargas fight and the Collazo fight is a huge step ahead of anyone Cotto has fought

Yes, that includes Judah coming off what amounted to a one year lay off, following two consecutive losses, one of which came against a journeyman-level fighter

 

Exactly. People are talking like this is 2001. Mosley isn't in near that same form, and his power has greatly eroded at welter. If it hadn't, cats like Estrada, Cruz, and Collazo wouldn't have went the distance with him without being in any serious trouble. It's not a coincidence the only person he's KO'd in the last 6 years has been a shot Fernando Vargas.

Using Cotto getting hurt by Torres and Corley at 140 as a barometer for how this fight will play out is just as ridiculous as using the first Winky Wright fight as an indication of what will happen in this fight. Obviously, Cotto was badly hurt against Torres and Corley. But it's also obvious he wasn't at his best at 140, because he had to cut extreme amount of weights to make the limit. Shane on the other hand got momentarily rocked by Winky in the first round of their fight and was noticably effected by Wright's body punches throughout the fight. But obviously, he was fighting a bigger opponent above his natural weight. I don't put much stock in either case because both men clearly weren't in their proper weight classes.

Picking either man by brutal KO is a joke, when neither packs one punch pop.

 

Is this fight close to being signed?

 

Don't think it'll be brutal or easy, both will be in a tough war with Mosley winning by TKO in the late rounds. Can't wait, awesome fights to come!

 

Go Shaneee

 

The shot Fernando Vargas who had his jaw broken by Javier Castillejo in his previous fight(and yet he gave Mosley all he could handle in their first fight)? Collazo is no better than Carlos Quintana and when he fought Mosley, he was injured in round three, after making Shane look silly in round two. As an obvious Cotto fan, I'll tell you this. I was a lot more nervous when Cotto-Judah was made than I am about Cotto-Mosley.
