    I Think Mosley Vs Mayweather Would Be A Great Matchup Even With His Lost To Cotto.

    hatton is pressure pressure pressure...cotto is pressure pressure pressure. both big body punchers...and you saw what happened to mr pressure against floyd.

    also look at what a pure boxer in mosely could do to cotto...didn't win, but the hardest test of his career. mayweather is as pure as you can get as a boxer, and light years faster than mosely...plus he can bang, slug...and much more

    :lol: Cotto is not strictly a pressure fighter. He doesn't always have to be the aggressor. Go watch the Muhammad Abdullaev fight where he fought over 90% of the fight off the backfoot. Hatton doesn't have that option, becuse he can fight only one way. Big difference between the two. And Mosley is a pure boxer? :lol: Since when? He's always been a skilled brawler with cat-like reflexes. You sound like you just started watching Boxing recently.

    when you posted the thread i was sure that you didn't have a clue, this confirms it. shane has never been a pure boxer. he has always been more slugger than boxer he has a sluggers mindset, heart and determination with god boxing skills.
    and although pbf is a cut above , what have you seen in a cotto fight that would lead you to believe that a pure boxer would beat him. corley, malinaggi, quintana, zab all boxers, who got their asses handed to them .

    Mw doesn't need Cotto but he certainly doesn't need Oscar again !!!

    Cotto vs MW would be the fight of the 2 best welterweights in the world !! Thats what the fans need !!

    Another mother ****in Floyd fan who doesn't understand boxing trying to tell everybody what's what and how's how.

    Floyd is good as ****, but so is Cotto, and if you don't see how Cotto is different than Hatton, you don't understand the basics in boxing.

    imo, mosely was more of a boxer...yeah he can slug, he did BOX cotto...he didn't brawl with him

    cotto is a pressure fighter. ok, he may be able to fight off his back foot, he even did that against mosely, but his natural tendancy is to come foward

    and you're saying i have no clue...now tell me how cotto would even have a remote chance against mayweather

    Because he is content with just being a "Money May" rather than take risks like his uncle Roger did.
