    The Cotto haters forgot that Mosley was clinching a lot; avoiding a knockout.


    I forgot, 95% of Cotto haters comitted suicide yesterday. The other 5% are human condoms for Mayweather and make threads stating how Mosley was robbed.

    Maybe DLH had his little payback for the 115-113s card in the Mosley rematch :hey

    But seriously, Cotto won that fight fair and square.

    So, De La Hoya is now Mosley?

    The title of the thread says it all -- Mosley thought he won, and he is correct.

    Your guy lost. I'm sorry that's painful for you. My guy has lost before, too. It happens.

    Mosley hurt Cotto, and he won the fight. The judges let Mosley down. It happens in boxing too often.

    And people wonder why MMA is taking fans from the sport. Here's a hint -- fewer bad decisions.

    I feel really bad for the sport, for Mosley and for Cotto. Miguel deserves real wins, and doesn't need gifts like this for his legacy.

    The judges, by incorrectly favoring Cotto, actually hurt him, too.

    Sad and ironic. :(

    No problem man. People just tend to get a bit nuts after a fight. I picked Mosley to win by KO and i expected him to outbox Cotto, and he didn't. I was very surprised when Cotto's jab was imo pretty much the most effective punch he had. It was a good fight.

    What would you say to a rematch?

    :rofl Since you obviously like digging up older posts, find me a post where I said "Cotto easily will win." Never once did I say that. I did, however, say Shane's performances against Estrada, Cruz, or Vargas didn't impress me, and that Cotto would win the fight...which he did.

    Yea right. There was a poll here who won the fight and like 80% think Cotto won. Keep dreaming. When the smoke clears up, we will be left with the general consensus

    COTTO WON A CLOSE BUT CLEAR DECISION :good

    I wanted Shane to win, but I thought Cotto edged it very slightly.

    I don't understand how Ledermen gave Cotto the 12th round, that was clearly a Mosley round. I thought it was 6-5-1 Cotto.

    What's wrong with the sports is dumb ass idiots like yourself, who don't know how to properly score a fight, and who constantly refer to every close fight as a "robbery" or "gift," creating controversy where their shouldn't be. Shane conceded the defeat, you should as well.

    I lost nothing. I had no money on the fight.

    I care about this sport, and have watched and covered it for more than 20 years. Decisions like this hurt the sport, and that concerns me, as it should for any fan who wants good decisions and the correct winner.

    I complained about Toney-Peter I, and Taylor-Hopkins I, and when you might not have known what the internet was, I was on rec.sport.boxing.pro complaining about Chavez-Whitaker.

    I've discussed my intelligence on these boards before, no need to rehash it again. My writing speaks for itself.

    I'm sorry you felt Cotto won. You are wrong, and I accept that. It happens. You are entitled to your incorrect opinion, as the judges who unfairly gave the win to Casamayor are entitled to theirs.

    Boxing has a long history of corruption and bad decisions. What you might see as one fight, I see as a long pattern of ineptness and greed.

    You are passionate, if not as informed as I am. I celebrate your passion. Keep working on educating yourself. I'm sure we'll talk again, my wrong friend.

    :good:thumbsup:good

    Didn't see the fight, but if it was as close as this thread makes it out to be then Cotto should make a rematch with Mosley. If he dosen't, then he'll always have a question mark on his career. Mayweather did it with Castillo. Now it's Cotto's turn to remove any doubt.

    You are wrong, on several counts.

    Guys like me are the soul of the sport. I've put decades into the sport.

    And Shance conceded nothing. As the title of the thread states clearly. De La Hoya is not Mosley. Your wishful thinking changes nothing. Like many Cotto nuthuggers, you don't want to accept the truth, even when it is quoted to you.

    Your boy is good. Very good. Just not as good as Mosley last night. No shame in that. But that's the truth, however much you might not want to hear it.

    I didn't like it when Whitaker beat Chavez. The record book said it was a draw. That's a joke. I took the 'loss' like a man. It's not about who you root for, its about who deserves to win and lose.

    Mosley did not deserve to lose. You can argure for a draw, but Mosley did not lose. The judges blew it, and it is sad.

    Damn....*shakes head*

    The difference is Castillo-PBF were both in their primes, and sadly SSM isn't anymore. I wouldn't go as far as to say he is a shot fighter, because if he was shot he would have been KO'd. Cotto landed some huge shots and Mosley ate them up, but Mosley was clearly past his best. His handspeed and accuracy weren't there (I'll give Cotto props, he ducked and blocked shots better than I've ever seen him do). A prime SSM doesn't get tagged as much as he did, so I think if they fought again, Mosley would lose and Cotto would just improve on his performance.
