    I'm glad you posted this. It spared me the trouble of pointing out that Mosely won a decsion against an injured, B level fighter. Everyone who saw that fight saw that Collazo wasn't throwing punches. Cotto is on alot of people's p4p top 10 list. There is no way he should lose to a 36 year old, past prime fighter

    Collazo is no Cotto. Cotto will break Mosley down physically and mentally.

    Thing ive noticed about Mosley (keep in mind im a big Mosley fan)

    Mosley doesnt know how to change his strategy if things arent going his way. It happened in both Forrest and Wright fights. If he gets discouraged, his corner acts foolish and Mosley doesnt adapt. The only time Mosley showed this trait was against DLH 7 years ago.

    If things dont go his way against Cotto expect him to keep catching a beat down until Papa Jack throws in the white towel.

    B level fighter that many thought won the fight against Hatton. Injured hand or not, Collazo was outclassed that night in every department. But I guess that's what Mosley should do to a B level fighter, Right?

    I agree 50/50

    Collazo is always in the club man, I don't go out much anymore but I've spoken to this lush at least 3 times in the past year of so, he's a very cool dude though, unlike Zab who get's real irritating at times when he's squirting his testosterone all over the club. Paulie Malanaggi was also extremely friendly and spoke boxing for at least 20 minutes with me at club Stereo in Manhattan. Honorable mention: Curtis Stevens, spoke for a bit outside Manhattan Center/Hamerstein Ballroom.

    I'm a fan of both fighters, but even a faded Mosely is a terrible styles match-up for Cotto.

    People forget? Thats the argument most fans use as to why Cotto is going to lose his next fight for the past 3 years now. But last time I checked Cotto is still undefeated. :good

    Well Sugarman still is a live dog no matter how you put it, I'm a huge Cotto fan but I'll be nervous come fight night, similar to a school girl in her first visit to the OBGYN.

    To an injured B level fighter, yes. Unless you wanna argue that Collazo wasn't injured or that Collazo is an A level fighter. I'm not going to sit here and call Mosely a bum. This is certainly not the case. But he's old, and past his prime. If Cotto is the elite fighter that people make him out to be, then he should be able to beat an old, past his prime fighter, even one on Mosely's level.

    No need to be nervous. Although Cotto has been "protected" by his handlers, I still think he's a tremendous fighter. This will be Mosely's last fight.

    Fair enough and I'm not saying Collazo didn't hurt his hand. I just don't think it would have made any difference. The one and only advantage I see Cotto having over Shane is youth. That will not be enough to beat the old vet.
