This is yet to be seen. Quintana and Urkal's punches can't break wind. Judah, is a decent puncher who should still be at JWW. Mosely will be a good test for Cotto. He's bigger, and stronger than Judah, and has a better chin and stamina. Personally, I'm not sure if Cotto can beat the bigger Welters with some power. Beating Mosely would quell alot of those doubts.
I am a big fan of both and will be sorry for which ever loses as they are great for the sport. However, Mosley might retire on a win or within a couple of fights likely anyway. So, I not only think Cotto will win, I hope he does as he can be a figure in the sport for years to come.
Mosley can bang quite a bit at any weight, and Cotto can bang too. It's not that they're hard punchers, they're good punchers, meaning they can throw some nasty combos, even if they don't KO you with one punch. I believe Cotto's lack of defense leads to a valiant, but brutal, KO.
You guys are ridiculous...Mosley is not that strong...you need to stop living in the past. Cotto will knock Mosley into retirement..:deal
Dehydration...Try starving yourself and stop drinking water to keep the weight down...you guys really need to do some research on the issue.:deal
I am very uneasy with this pick, but I'm going with the upset and picking Cotto by UD. I think his pressure and bodypunching will slow the older Mosley down and win him a close decision with some rough spots along the way. A win would propel Cotto into superstardom and on the cusp of greatness, but Mosley might have something to say about it.
Cotto is not going to KO Mosley. Thats because Papa Jack will throw in the towel to save his son from an ass whooping. Cotto is getting in that ass like a wedgie. Once Mosley feels those left hooks to the body, he will remember his age and start thinking WTF did I get myselt into. Cotto by stoppage in 10 rounds.
Well, Cotto is a very strong fighter. Weight should not be an issue here as he is already at 147. He has the power, not one-punch KO but accumulative. Plus, he has youth on his side. On the other hand, Shane has the big fight experience. He fought DLH twice, it doesn't get bigger than that. He is still very quick with both hands and feet. He also has enough punching power to keep guys honest. My analisys: Cotto is strong, but not as strong as he seems to be. A win over Judah doesn't really answer a lot of questions. Judah has what it takes but he never really pushes himself to the limit. Not to mention Judah also just started at 140. Not to take away from Cotto's performance, but it's evident that hand speed, mobility and a quick start troubled him until Judah seemed to lost interest. It may be Cotto's power, Judah's stamina or whatever that discouraged him. Nevertheless, Shane never gets discouraged and fights on even on the brink of defeat. You never saw that against Forrest especially on the Wright rematch in which he did everything he can do against a bigger. stronger man. Can you imagine Shane holding back after he had a man hurt? If Cotto gets hit cleanly, watch out. Cotto has the ability to beat Shane. But I still believe Sugar isn't as far on the slope as he looks. Mosley by an upset late-round tko.
will be a great fight,theyre both great fighters who im fans of,but im leanin towards shane,i think this will be better than cotto/judah which was great
So you're telling me, you truly believe Judah had Cotto hurt badly enough for him to purposely foul him? True enough, Urkal wasn't a big puncher, even though he was rocking Tszyu. But Quintana had more pop than you give him credit for. He was 23-0 (18 KO's) and every fight I seen him in pre-Cotto, his power was a factor. If Judah is only a decent puncher, then Mosley is a below average puncher at welter.
When Cotton Judah was made I was 90% sure Cotto would win and by KO. With Shane I am 50/50 and 90% sure it will go the distance. Tough fight to predict. Judah is fragile physically and mentally, Shane is very solid.
