    Makes sense.

    They are likely evenly matched.

    I think Mosley's style might be a bit of trouble for Cotto...he has faster hands, and moves in-out a lot...

    Then again, Mosley's getting old...

    Agreed.

    Makes sense...this is a pick'em fight if ever there was one.

    I wish we knew whats holding the deal up.
    Last I heard they agreed in principle and were just ironing out the site details, etc.
    At least we know both Cotto and Mosley fight anyone, anywhere, anytime as they've proven it time and again.

    Honestly, I don't think Mosley would KO Quintana, but he would stop Judah in my estimation.

    Mosley usually outpoints people with speed and great counterpunches, Cotto beats you down meticulously.

    Both styles are a thing of beauty.
    Can't wait for this great matchup, my tickets are purchased in theory, as long as it's a northeast fight. Madison Square Garden!

    Mosley is coming down to his more natural fighting weight, while Cotto has shown that he can be seriously hurt by punchers not as fast or accurate as Mosley, i.e. Torres, Corley, and Judah buzzed Cotto a couple of times so Cotto hit him in the balls to recooperate(something he learned from Tito)

    I think Mosley's handspeed and power will be the deciding factors. Cotto is a good fighter, maybe even great, but Mosley is way better than Judah, and Judah had Cotto in trouble a few times. Mosley doesn't have lapses in the ring like Judah does, or fade down the stretch. Mosley has the edge in experience as well. Some see it as old age, but I see it as experience in big fights, and this will be Cotto's biggest fight to date for sure. He has never fought anyone in the same league as Mosley, or maybe even a league below Mosley.

    See, that's the thing... I'm used to see Mosely fight anyone, anywhere, anywhen. I don't know why he says he has to talk to his wife. That's "Oscar Talk"... I think the "GBP Syndrome" is infecting Mosely. Regardless, if they fight, they will give us the Fight of the Year, unlike DLH VS MW.

    Another thing, what are PW's and KC's promoters waiting to match them up. The winner takes on the Cotto VS Mosely winner. I'd rather see any of these four get it on than any of them against MW.

    I'm not surprised by this. I still haven't made my mind up about this fight either.

    By MW I think you mean Mayweather......and if thats the case, I agree.

    I also agree that Jin has maybe a bit too loud of a voice in Shane's ear, but they are a team and they will run the show the way they want to .

    When you fight guys like Winky, Vernon and Collazo when everyone knows how dangerous they are and are unwilling to fight them, you've got a tough guy on your hands that will fight anyone.

    Mosley and Cotto are 2 of my favorite 5 current fighters so I am salivating at the thought of this fight being finalized and the sound of the first bell!

    PW = Paul Williams
    KC = Kermit Cintron :bbb

    Let's see if we agree in something... If I were given the chance to choose between tickets + air tickets to see either the MW vs Hatton or the Mosely Fight, I'd definately choose the later. You?

    Style wise, this is very dangerous for Cotto.Miguel isn't that hard to find, and he has been hurt, cut, and down courtesy of lesser fighters than Shane.At this weight Mosely has the edge in speed and possibly even power.A long fight would favor Cotto, but Shanes left hook could determine the outcome before that.
