    Mosley easily. Mosley is a big name and fans also saw how well he performed against Collazo.

    It appears that shedding that unnatural power lifting weight has turned back the clock some what. While not prime Sugar Shane he lokes better than he has in years.

        Just made this poll cause some people say that Cotto is ducking Williams. I think he is only ducking Williams if he fights with Margo.

          In the eyes of the people...Shane.

          In mine...Paul.

            Either way, he missed out and gains from both.

            Mosley, gets the glory, more money, a PPV pay day.. A big name fight.. More exposure and a decent name on the resume. With Williams, he gets a good fight.. Decent payday, more "smart fan" praise and a better chance for a big win (Because to me, Williams seems more prone to body punching, something Cotto loves to do.) Either way, he loses out on the flipsides of either.

            With Mosley, he could get, "He's old already, bleh bleh bleh."

            With Williams, he could get, "He's too green, wasn't ready or TRULY tested, bleh bleh bleh."

            Either fight, gets him respect to a lot of people though, Mosley just gets him more money. I'd go for Mosley, if that was my goal.

                less cheating could help him get some more props or maybe even more cheating cause people don't seem to notice even now.

                  Right, he cheats when he wins fights by throwing too many punches? Is that illegal now?

                    I'm so far on the other side of that feeling that I don't want him to fight Mosley because I think Shane will totally blow him out and people won't know how wack Miguel truly is..

                    So if Cotto beats Shane Mosley it would turn the moon into a block of cheese, the ocean into a grass field, and my cat into a Rubix Cube..

                    In my world.
