I favored Cotto winning there fight by 2 rounds. But if that was a prime version of Cotto against a way older Mosley. I could only imagine what a prime Mosley would have done to Cotto. The fighter with excellent footwork, speed/power, stamina, and combo's. I don't even believe Cotto's jab would really have been a factor.
No, who says he is great again? he is still a good fighter but has clearly gotten worse, i mean you include Mayorgas name??? that dude ain't fit to lace Mosley's boots yet he was up on 1 card pre knockout. Margaritto is also a style just made for Mosley and he had Nasim in his corner sorting out a perfect plan for Marg.
As for TS i believe the Mosley right now would beat Cotto with nasim in his corner, prime for prime Mosley by KO.
Thank you. Nobody said he was great again
Yeah. Everybody knows Mosley was great late 90s/early 00s, but most Cotto haters got this notion that he was great before Cotto, he was past his prime for their fight and then got great again afterwards when he beat Mayorga & Margarito.
You just gotta laugh.
I like Cotto and he is one of my current favorites. But I was telling people on ESB and MBF that Margo was overrated for years. Mosley isn't the same fighter he use to be. Even though he dominated Collazo. His footwork wasn't the same in that fight.
Barely? Look to me like a very clear UD.
7-5 Cotto imo. That's seems close to me. It wasn't 8-4 or 9-3 Cotto. Those were all close rounds if you ask me. Cotto also stole a couple rounds. There is no way Cotto dominated an older version of Mosley. With that being said I can't see how an prime version of Shane would lose to Cotto. Sorry just don't see it
LMAO at you people trying to discredit Cotto's win over Mosley by saying Cotto face a broken Mosley when you very well know that is not the true.

Mosley is not as fast as he use to be. He is still fast, but the man was crazy fast back in the day. I think you should even know that. He could barely beat an older version. So I doubt he beats a prime. Mosley by KO

Still a good fight but still a cotto win. Mosleys achilles heel is he just has trouble with guys with stiff good jabs.
Something Cotto definitely has if he can knock down Clottey.
The jab made the difference throughout the fight.
It also made the difference against winky and Forrest
prime mosely v prime cotto??
i got mosley... maybe even by stoppage... just my opinion though

My point was that prime Mosley is beatable and Cotto already proved his timing could deal with Mosley speed. Prime Cotto beats prime Mosley the same way he did in their fight....by UD.

Didn't he only fail one test against Hoya? People still felt like he lost that fight.
What Victor Conte was giving their clients was HGH and you can't detect that shit by urine. I am not sure they did blood test at the time of Mosley prime.
I think that same Forrest would have beat Cotto also. I even think Forrest would have given Hoya and Tito problems. I'm saying he would win.
Cotto is a beast, but I think Mosley from 135-until Forrest was a beast also. I've seen both of the entire careers but I just think Mosley would be to much.

he didnt "fail" a test... he took EPO...
again, not a steroid....
My best friend takes EPO for his bad kidney. He said it isn't a steriod. So you're right
Well offcourse he is not the same but that very same "Prime Mosley" got beat by Vernon Forrest. Is not like the Mosley Cotto faced is really far away from his prime form.
