I'm just wondering he's looked good his last three. With two being against Vargas. But he looked sharp against Collazo. I'm wondering if you guys think he'll suddenly age in there against Cotto. I don't but from what I've read a lot of Cotto fans seem to think he would be man handled.

Well....how much does he have left in the tank? No. I don't think he still has everything he had. Mosley once had the highest K.O. ratio of any boxer in history. Power and speed were a lethal combination for him - he isn't what he was. He's already shown age. That said, I think he's learning his limits and improving...and that not jumping back and forth from junior middlweight to weltweight will help him. He can stay at 147 now...since his last fight to his fight with Cotto...and focus on training. I think he has something left. Enough to give Cotto problems. I'm looking for him to win on experience and effective use of combinations to steal rounds.

Yeah I think he still has it somewhat. He's never been seriously hurt.

He only has two real loses to me (Cosidering it was two losses for each opponent he's lost two). For a guy who stays in great shape and still has his wits (and skill/abilities) I don't see why he couldn't go another two or three years.

Hey genius did you ever thing that maybe just maybe his KO percentage going down is more a reflection of him fighting at higher weights than when he started?

Mosley showed he still has the goods. Didn't look great at jrMW but in the Collazo fight you can see that most of his speed is still there. He is still probably about as fast as PBF and perhaps a little slower than Zab.

He is not shot like Castillo or shop worn like Gatti. Mosley still isn't what he use to be but what he still has Elite level speed and reflexes. Even in his prime his power at WW was only respectable.
