    Cotto - Mosley has an inevitable winner though.

    Since you know Cotto - Mosley has an inevitable winner which most don't know about, not even the odds makers in Vegas at this point, I believe you ought to give that info and explain shortly why is that so ... Please understand that I am not questioning your reasons as yet, just that you seem pretty sure about it and maybe I am missing something I should know about!?

    Yes; Cotto/Mosley will be the safe bet.

    I would say precisely the opposite: Mayweather is a clear favorite whereas I view Cotto-Mosley as a toss up, pick'em fight and this last one started exactly at even odds to back up my own understanding - but as I asked another member, I really would like to know why is this fight not to be competitive? Maybe because Shane is not at his peak and Miguel is supposed to be? I don't see Shane on such a steep descending curve at this stage but he has considered retirement if he doesn't get that shot at P4P nº1 rated Floyd Mayweather soon, dat is a fact...

    Cotto should win this fight -fullstop- I was pleasantly horrified by the favorable odds on him -fullstop-

    China_hand_Joe, I got it now since you change it from "inevitable winner" to "Cotto should win", I am not horrified at the odds cause they don't favor any fighter in particular and since Mayweather-ODLH were 2-1 favoring Floyd in Vegas, last May, but you also didn't help me makin out why should Miguel inevitably win so I am definitely sure that you unfavor Shane as well as underate Joe, at least... I will let you know why Miguel can win if he comes to soon. Cheers.

    Floyd was a 95-99% favorite over Oscar, I rate Cotto in at 80-85% vs Shane -fullstop-

    Shane is part of the over-rated group of Americano fighters including him, Oscar, Trinidad, Hopkins etc -fullstop- He is also getting older and is facing an equal talent who is in his prime -fullstop- Looking at the Vargas fights rather than just the Collazo fights tells me Cotto isn't fairly certain to win a somewhat tough fight -fullstop-

    Officially Floyd was a 2 to 1 favorite in May 5 fight night. I just mentioned it cause those were two highly respected and rated fighters to have met just like Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley... I dare not to question your certainties cause it has a lot to do with how a particular individual views two fighters and matches their styles... I do agree that if Mosley fights like in the second Vargas fight, it is not certain that he beats Shane but that is also more or less unlikely, I give ya that. It's difficult to predict at this point cause this fight just happened now since Tony lost to Williams and Floyd opted for Ricky in December...
