I Dont think MOSLEY can stop COTTO

Mosley is old man, he lost twice Wright nad twice Forrest and the second fight with De la Hoya (For me was rob) Mosley could lose with Vargas in the first fight, could not KO to Diaz.

If Mosley fight in his 100% has chance but is not easy, Mosley is very intermitent. Onemoretime Cotto gets the easy choice.

I don't think you're being too hard on Mosley because of his age, I think you're being completely realistic. More realistic than most actually. Mosley's age may not have shown up in the ring yet but it's only a matter of time before it does and we all know that, the question is when? I didn't think "father time" would catch up to Hopkins so quickly but he looked like utter **** against Wright.

It's only natural to question an aging legend's ability to handle a rising, hungry powerpunching superstar.

I think Mosley caqn outwork Cotto, so long as he boxes on the outside. He could even buzz him a few times if he commits to his punching power. Cotto will definitely be the stalker, and Mosley the boxer. The question is can Shane go 12 rounds fending off someone as relentless as Cotto?

I see Mosley easily taking the first half of the fight, boxing from the outside, using the jab, and sitting down on his punches catching Cotto coming in. After that I think Mosley will not be able to maintain Cotto's pace, he's slowly but surely slow down, and take some serious bodywork on the inside. He'll come on strong in the championship rounds and possibly outpoint Cotto. I can't see either fighter getting knocked out.

I think Mosley can win, I even think Mosley can buzz Cotto a little bit, but i dont think Mosley has the power anymore, to seriously hurt Cotto, and if you dont have the power you have to have an extremely high workrate to stop Cotto...

like a Paul Williams, but I think Mosley is to old to seriously outwork Cotto, even though Cottos style could allow for Mosley to pull off tons of fan friendly combinations.

I do however, think Cotto can stop Mosley. Mosley is getting old, his legs can't possible all be there u know? I think some great body work early, with the work rate and power Cotto has, can really pay off in the late rounds. And Cotto may stop Mosley.

thoughts? Am i playing to much into Mosleys age do u think? Cause he did look damn good against Collazo... but lets remember that Collazo doesnt have a body attack, doesnt punch as hard, and doesnt have as high a work rate.

good post i agree

any takers?

When Cotto never fight with world champions?? ¿Is waiting for a old man or italian bag champ?

Cintron, Williams and MArgarito owns the poor boricua.

I think Cotto es good fighter but his opponents are bums. Is not the Shane Mosley of 25 years old.

Cotto has the Pacman syndrome. He fights with old big names but never with a class A with 25 years old like Cintron, Williams or MArgarito.

Mosley has done plenty of fighting much bigger guys..

Wright, Forest, Vargas, Collazo, DLH, and many, many more.. where Mosley was the smaller guy and has never been in trouble.
Coming into a fight with Cotto, Mosley IS the bigger fighter, what makes you think that Cotto will KO Mosley?

Get that supid idea out of your ass..

**!! Mr. Soprano** · 08-09-2007, 02:09 PM

I mean The Golden Boy camp is all about $$$...

If Cotto wins, it will spell DLH / Cotto next.
Mosley may just take a dive in this one.. but it will NEVER be by a (T)KO

I Dont think MOSLEY can stop COTTO
