Cotto taking on Mosley too early?

I'm not so sure of that Asian. Do you think Cotto could matchup against Winky or Vernon Forrest physically like Mosley did? I don't think so. Not to mention I don't think there are too many fighters that would out fight Mosley; even in this stage of his career. I can see Mosley getting out-boxed but not beat in a shootout.Comment

Mosley depends on being the fastest gun, and against a standup guy like Vargas, he was going to eat him everyday of the week. Cotto is a smarter fighter than Vargas and has a lot of tricks to bust up smaller guys like Paulie and Judah. Mosley's style is just he throws flurries and uses his feet to go back and forth, which is where he can do damage. Then he moves the left or right and resets and does the same thing. I think Mosley would be in a very tough fight with Cotto, and Cotto's youth will carry him to the W.I'm not so sure of that Asian.

Cotto I believe would be more competitive with Forrest than Mosley was, but who really can say they'd kick Wright's ass?Comment

mf'er ... looks like you're having a ton of fun down there in fl - every week you got a pic up of yet ANOTHER boxer of whom you look to have turned into another buddy.I think Cotto is overdue for a Mosley type of fighter. What's good about this matchup is that Mosley doesn't try to outthink you or use his experience to outclass you. He just fights, and against a bigger man like Cotto, spells disaster for the "Sugar" man. Bigger, younger, stronger usually wins, especially if you only fight one way.
good ****!Comment

I say this a good fight Cotto. He'll be stepping in the ring with smart, fast, and strong opponent. Those are the same credentials that Mayweather has. I believe that he feels that if he can beat Mosely than his chances at beating Mayweather will be better.Comment

You make some good points. But I think Mosley is an underated counter puncher & he rolls punches pretty well. Collazo ate some hard counters in their fight which made him gunshy. I also think he'll have an easier time countering Cotto since there's going to be a big speed difference. Not to mention Mosley's a good body puncher himself.
