    That's one misconception that people need to get out of their heads. Being a southpaw doesn't automatically make you slick. Collazo brawls just as much as he boxes. If he was so slick, Hatton and Rivera would have had trouble landing on him regularly, which they did not.

    Awfully convenient how that happens at the time the injury allegedly occured. It ain't rocket science, homey.

    Cotto will get to Mosley easily. And that is the problem..Some people expect Mosley to outbox Cotto and turn into Pernell Whitaker..Or Roy Jones or some ****...That ISN'T going to happen man...Mosley's jab ain't that great...Cotto has a stiff ass jab....I can definitely see Mosley out punching Cotto in some rounds and definitely winning them but as far as damage inflicted it will completely go to Cotto. So I think its going to be a very hard fight to score. Cotto is going to be on Mosley like flies on **** and Mosley better start ripping uppercuts because its the only thing that could save him.

    Mosley was breathing a bit hard in the Collazo fight..And Collazo wasn't even making Mosley fight!! That **** was a sparing match for Mosley!!...He couldn't dent Estrada at all...Estrada was whipping punches all over Mosley in that entire fight! Estrada isn't even in the same galaxy as Cotto as far as offensive ability...Cotto is text book power punching guys...I just don't think Mosley can take it...If he wins I will definitely be surprised and I'd give him his well due props.

    Collazo is NOT a slick fighter and he would have won the fight "clowning" Mosley along the way had he not hurt his hand.:roll: If that is what you believe than by all means...enjoy.

    Collazo vs Mosley was a sparing match.
    Mosley was breathing a little hard in the ^ fight.
    Mosley vs Cotto will be a war.
    Mosley will be very tired in a war.
    The rounds will be very hard to score.
    This fight comes down to how long Mosley can perform at the sugar shane mosley we all have come to know.

    Don't put words in my mouth. I said Collazo isn't a slick fighter, which he is not. And that he outboxed and clowned Mosley in round two, which he did. Does that mean I think he would have won the fight? Not necessarily. It could have went either way. But I know that Collazo would have won more than 2 of the 12 rounds, I'll tell you that much.

    I going with Cotto at this time. 5 or 6 years ago I maybe would have sided with Mosley, but feel the inside pressure of cotto would be too much for mosley too handle unless he can stick and move. The body shots of cotto will be the determening factor in this fight and I see cotto winning tko

    I'm looking forward to this fight, because if you admire both fighters and are somewhat objective you know this is a very close matchup. Cotto has looked very good, but Shane has much more world class experience and has not had troubles with smaller pressure fighters (Mosley is 2 inches taller with a 7 inch reach advantage) only taller skilled boxers. That said, Shane will be 36 and I think Cotto's youth will make this a very good fight.

    I do see it going the distance. Mosley has never been stopped, the on time he was truly in trouble, he showed incredible resilience against Forrest. On the flip side, the only fighter he's stopped in his last 10 fights is an over the hill Vargas. Cotto has shown he can get of the canvas an come back to win several times. This one might live up to the hype.

    Vargas-Mosley II was Mosley's last hurrah.

    Cotto is going to tear him apart

    True Cotto has been hurt and Mosley too I always remember him vs Winky the first fight when he wanted to quit, his father in the corner spent the whole night convincing him to keep fighting.

    Shane may not be the monster he was 5 years ago. But Cotto's not the monster people are making him out to be now. I, for one, was disappointed in his fight with Judah and feel that a fighter twice the caliber of Judah in Mosely will be able to exploit Cotto's weaknesses....

    One's thing for sure, Cotto can't wobble and dance like he likes to do. Cause Mosely's a MAD finisher... :yep
