    Mosley's the champ and will call the shots now, he got stiffed in the first fight, which I had him winning, the ref even bought Cotto time in that 1 when Cotto was hurt

    It seems the further we get from the fight the greater Mosely's performance gets. It was a close fight only because Cotto DECIDED to move instead of pressure as he did the first few rounds because he saw he wasn't gonna KO mosely and knew he had such a large lead already. Plus if you were watchin, and even listening because Emanuel Steward even said it, during the last few rounds when Cotto was supposedly hurt or running he was landing the cleaner more effective punches. The fight was close on the cards at the end and they should have a rematch, but please lets not get over board here claiming Mosely was robbed. Cotto clearly won the first 8 rounds or so and gave away some rounds late which made the fight as close as it was. And by the way Don't know what fight some of you were watching he was never really hurt to the point where the ref saved him.

    Cotto won the first fight, therefore the fight should be where the winner wants it. Shane lost to Cotto...you don't get to make the rules here. Cotto won, Shane LOST. If I'm Cotto and i'm granting you a rematch, why should I give up MY home court, and give YOU the home court advantage?

    Ha ha...I'm sure you are not talking about that time when Mosley was trying to come on and he slipped in one of the corners and basically asked the ref to clean it up. That is when the ref momentarily halted the round.

    I think there was a GIF posted on ESB about this already by this guy Antwun Max where it clearly shows Mosley complaining about the ring being wet.

    Agreed. Nothing wrong with that. For what reason should the rematch be in New York again?

    I had Mosley winning it, about 30% agreed at the time and Cotto has a load of ESB nutthuggers

    I think Shane should call the shots here since he is the recognized #1 at 147. Cotto had his say when ot was held in NYC the first time around. Lets go to Shane's home. Either, I see Cotto pulling out another close win.

    You can say that about most fighters. True Elite fighters dont exist anymore. SRL was the last to truely hold that claim.
