    cotto has such a style where, on paper its easy to beat him. you stay on the outside and use your feet to stay away while keeping him away with your jab. thing is no one has successfully done that yet, and i dont think mosley will

    I love the guys style, hard punching pressure fighter, but he has shown a shakey chin at times, still the guy never had a bad fight

    Not true at all. By fight night, Cotto-Malignaggi was damn near a pick em fight. Many were already picking Paulie to outpoint Cotto, and many more expected the same after how bad Cotto looked physically during the week of the fight. On Boxingtalk.com 4 out of 7 writers picked Paulie to win by decision.

    Paulie won rounds strictly by outworking Cotto, not outboxing him. Even George Foreman said during the fight, when Cotto was working the fight wasn't that competitive.

    Wat u talking about? The guy was heavy odds on in everyone of his fights you mention, only the nuthuggers say he was supposed to get beat, each one of these fights it would have been a shock if he had lost, lets see him in with Mosley this will be his hardest fight on paper to date.

    I agree with most you say there, but i disagree about Mosley being stronger, i think Cotto is naturally stronger than Mosley.

    Cotto is a good fighter but he is a very flawed fighter, which is the reason that so many people like him. Guy like Jones(in his prime), and Floyd are not flawed fighters or are too good in one area for anyone to expose those flaws, which is the reason that so many hate them.

    I think that people doubt cotto because even though is hasnt stepped up to the elite class of fighters yet, he has been close in several fights to being knocked out. Corley had him out on his feet and almost out, as did Torres, and Abduleav. I think that very few have confidence in Cotto's chin. I think that he is a nasty KO waiting to happen.

    I like Mosley to win because he's fast, strong and a very smart fighter. I also would like to add that I think J. Clottey blows Cotto out in five rounds.

    How can you say that when in his toughest fights, he's shown no ability to adjust what so ever. Take away Mosley's cat like reflexes and you have a very mediocre fighter. A lot of you mistake flash for substance.

    :lol: Based on what exactly? Did you even see Clottey-Flores? Joshua "pitty pat, front running" Clottey aint stopping Cotto or any other top welterweight for that matter.

    Papa Jack throws in the white towel after 8 rounds. Nosley retires after the beating.
