Mosley fought a great fight that night, I think I only scored one round for Collazo and maybe because he did better than in other rounds. But, Cotto and Collazo are different fighters.

collazo and cotto are not the same fighters but shane never really hurt collazo and shane looked alright to be fighting a fighter that was not really fighting back and he looked a little tired towards th end of the fight

Mosley vs. Cotto set for Nov. 10

Pomona's Sugar Shane Mosley will fight unbeaten welterweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico on Nov. 10 at New York's Madison Square Garden, the fighters' promoters confirmed Thursday.

Mosley (44-4, 37 knockouts) last fought in February, defeating Luis Collazo by unanimous decision in Las Vegas. It was his fifth consecutive victory since losing twice to Winky Wright in 2004. Mosley, 35, has previously won titles in the lightweight, welterweight and junior-middleweight divisions.

Against the 27-year-old Cotto (30-0, 25 KOs), Mosley will face the World Boxing Assn. welterweight champion who retained his belt in June with an 11th-round technical knockout of veteran fighter Zab Judah. Cotto, considered one of the elite fighters along with Manny Pacquiao in promoter Bob Arum's Top Rank operation, won the WBA title in 2006 with a technical knockout of Carlos Quintana.

The Mosley fight will be Cotto's third title defense.

I have lots of respect for Mosely because he doesn't duck anyone and has never took an easy fight. He also has no problems giving a fighter a rematch.

[Energy]

Yea Mosley is the man.

I am giving the edge to cotto, this reminds me to much of dlh vs whitaker. If it goes to decision I GURANTEE cotto will get te nod.

[shynequasiog22]

I've gotta be honest I think Mosley is gonna take this fight by a slightly wider margin then most. Alot of people think that Mosley can't deal with Cotto's pressure and body attack but I think Cotto leaves himself open to too many clean shots. Against Judah he got hit with a few shots early on that had him rocked and if Mosley can do the same early on he follows up much better then Judah and an early knockdown or a few big shots will really slow down Cotto's pressure. I think as long as Mosley can control the first few rounds by keeping Cotto's body attack to a minimum he can win 8 or nine rounds and even score a knockout.

Doesn't duck anyone? You seem to forget that he came up with the lamest excuse ever to not fight PBF at 147 (he said he had a toothache!). Never taken an easy fight? What do you call his fights against John Brown, Willy Wise, David Estrada, and Jose Luis Cruz?

Get off Shane's nuts and realize that he's going to be the underdog in this fight, and rightly so.

Yeah, but some of those decisions have permanently damaged his career.

How do you feel about Shane Mosley doing steroids?
