    Is if he uses his jab consistently.. Otherwise no. Cotto fights somewhat flatfooted sometimes.

    I will say though that Cotto has been getting better w/ his jab IMO..

    NO im not I think Cotto is a very good fighter but if he cant establish his jab he will not win.He seems to have gotten better though...It should be a tough fight.

    He'll probably win as well if he knocks Mosley tha **** out. Just a thought.

    But Cotto does have to be set when he punches on his feet is what I meant..he gets a lot of strength when he plants his feet. I look for Shane to hit Cotto w/ a lot of overhand rights.

    Not possible IMO. Shanes too tough and will be well prepared..

    I look for Shane to hit the canvas with a lot of face.

    Only way? Use his jab and then what? Outbox Mosley? :-( :D

    Nah nah nah :nono . . . to hurt the opponent seriously and take him out of his comfort zone . . . and that my friend works both ways.

    I mean if he can use his jab Cotto can get into range to land his more powerful hurtful shots..But the thing is Mosley is a smart fighter and he will try to setup his jab as well I believe...and he has the Speed to do it... and like I said Mosley is a smart fighter..he may be old...but hes stayed in great shape and hes still a tremendous athlete even at 36.

    I actually think this fight favors Cotto moreso than vice-versa.

    Haven't we already seen that Cotto's chin is suspect. Hell - Corley almost ended Cotto's night. If he fines himself in the same situation with Mosley - it's a wrap.

    And of all the top opponents Mosley's faced - he's only been down once. I've only saw him hurt twice and both came in the first fight with Forrest.

    Shane wins by KO - that's my prediction.

    I would tell cotto to KEEP THAT CHIN TUCKED, use the jab, and tear that body to pieces for the first 7 rounds. And watch out for Mosley's brutal hooks.

    Corley hit him on the temple which is nearly impossible to find. If Shane gets him there I will probally be a 10 count but temple shots knock many fighters out. I think Mosley will be able to hurt Cotto with hooks, this will determine who wins or not is how Cotto can handle that adversity (non low blows) but his ability to cover, use the ring, tie up Mosley. If he can survive those moments then he has a very good chance late to stop Mosley.
