    :huh

    This post only proves that you are a fan of Cotto and not of boxing. You are only worried about how it works to Cotto's advantage. Im talking about BOXING not one fighter.

    Im saying this because Mosley at WW is a top 5 fighter that would give fighters like Cotto, Mayweather, Margarito and Williams trouble. Mosley at 154 hadnt looked impressive in the last 5 years. The change in weight class was a great move and will prolong his career if he wants to continue fighting.

    I was the biggest Mosley fan on this site some time ago, but the guy is done, and I hate for fighters to fight on the way that he is. He is done, and a shell of what he use to be. And now with the whole balco mess that he is going though, I dont know.

    I may be alone here but I just dont see Shane beating any fighter in the top 5 except Margo. He could beat guys like Judah and Cintron in the top 10 and maybe Berto right now, but in a year I dont think that is a fight that he can win.

    I think that Oscar would fair better, because they have different styles and Oscar can still control fights with his Jab if he wants to. But long term he cant do it on a fight to fight bases
