So if and when Cotto beats Mosley...

i dont even think cotto could beat mosley now. mosley is not even close to being shot, hes barley past his prime, and through all the people mosley fought the only people who beat him had to out box him. cotto is not going to out box shane mosley. hopefully, shane will throw his combos and get out before cotto get to his body and he should take a descision.

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr 2. Shane Mosley 3. Miguel Cotto 4. Paul Williams 5. Antonio Margarito I think 2 and 3 are arguable. I think Shane and Cotto would beat Williams and Margarito is overhyped IMO.

I have Mosley at #2 but I wouldn't be mad if you had Cotto there. Whoever wins the fight deserves the spot and a shot at #1 unless he wants to retire again...

You can make an excuse for any fight Mayweather-Hatton--OH Hatton was too small Taylor-Pavlik-- Oh Taylor was weight drained or Pavlik wasn't ready Cotto-Mosley-- Mosley was old and washed up or Cotto wasn't ready for a guy like Mosley yet Cotto is a top 3 welterweight beating Mosley would kinda suprise me(cuz I think Mosley will win) and Cotto would be #2 at welterweight in my book. Both fighters will get hit in the fight a lot IMO unless Mosley has some ridiculous boxing skill that he can showcase and outboxes Cotto all night which I doubt will happen.

Who doesn't give Cotto his proper respect now? He's a top 3 WW, if he beats Mosley he just gets more respect. exactly i agree.

Honestly, I dont think Cotto will git the proper credit. SSM is past his true prime but got alot left in the tank. Enough for the credit Cotto fans are looking for. Cotto will have big problems against guys that dont run like Branco, Malignaggi, and Quintana. Those guys cant crack a egg and move more than anything. SSM sits down on his shots. If Cotto doesnt git KO'd I'll give him big big credit. I think SSM will knock him out w/in 8. I'll take bets once the KO-TKO-DQ line comes out. If ya'll think hes got it that easy over Shane, bet me. For the record...I love watching Cotto and a fan.

the excuse will be that Mosley lost.

i dont see him getting past mosely ,if he does , there should be no excuses on either party's side

im a big fan of cotto but he wouldnt have a chance gainst a prime mosley, but mosley is not finished and i think this s a very close fight in which my heart is with mosley but i think cotto will break him down with body shots because of shanes age...i say cotto has a 60% chance of winning but i have the belief that shane will pull it off spectacularly which is more a credit to shane than cotto being bad, cus cotto is really young, powerful and good...

You know that they will say that Mosley was old... yeah that is what i will say... down with cotto and that is a big if not when!!!!

i'll get my excuse out of the way now. cotto only won by lowblows again. cheating ass cheater. your a wanker. you dnt know what your talkin about.

Mosley may not be the same fighter he once was but I don't think he is far from it. If Cotto wins he deserves much respect.
