Roger Mayweather picks Mosley to beat Cotto.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Mayweather knows the next opponent for Floyd will probably come out of the Nov. 10 battle between WBA welterweight champ Miguel Cotto and former three division title-holder "Sugar" Shane Mosley. He gives Mosley a big edge in the fight and sees him as the clear victor.

"I like Mosley to win. I think Mosley has two good hands and that's going to be the difference in the fight. Cotto is a good puncher, but he's basically one-handed and plus Shane has good chin," Mayweather said. "And Shane is probably the better caliber of fighter. If you look at it in terms of who fought the better guys, Shane Mosley fought the better guys. If I was going to lean on someone that was going to win (in the fight), I would lean on Shane Mosley."

I just cant see cotto winning this fight, it doesnt make sense, mosley is way to fast for him and should be able to hurt cotto with his power.

he says Shane become Mayweather/Mosely makes it much bigger payday and event. for many reason one is that Mayweather alway wanted to fight Mosely so I think he knows how to win him.

I noticed that alot of people inside the game are picking Mosley.

But alot of people inside the game had picked Oscar to beat Floyd. So maybe they just don't have faith in the young lions yet.

Cotto isnt just a brawler, he thinks his way inside an opponent and hurts them, thing is, he cant think his way outside of an opponent and hurt them, and blatanly has problems taking one on this chin.

people alway love to comare older era with todays era it is just natural thing they are doing.

I going with Cotto winning UD. Because everytime i saying Cotto is going to lose he wins so this time i going to stick with him winning


another thing Zab is no Mosely, Mosely is more consistance but he tend to lose energy in the later rounds e****ally if he threw couple of flurries but if he caught Cotto with his flurries he could end it up

Exactly! It's not his boxing expertise making the prediction, it's wishful thinking on behalf of his bank account. I see Cotto winning this fight after a few rounds of adjustment. It'll take 2-3 rounds for Miguel to adjust to Mosley's style and he might have to rise from the canvas to do so, but Miguel's heart is unquestionable and I believe he'll find a way to counter Mosley, especially when Shane tries to do his one-punch and hug (a.k.a. his Hatton imitation). I believe that Shane will be sorry he hugs after the 5th round when those body shots up close will begin to take their toll. I see Cotto winning by KO/TKO in the 9th.

people underestimate a bodypunch and Cotto is good bodypuncher.

and as Mosely is orthrdox he could connnect his body punchs easier than when he did in the Zab fight. It looked hard for Cotto to throw to the body in the Zab fight.

I seen people chin strong as steal but after couple of rounds bodypunching his stamina goes down, his hand lower down and he speed comes down too. It is easier to KO a person when he is exhausted and tired

Roger says he didnt have ANY problems with Tszyu???? OK I have Not seen this fight.. But the scores were 119-109 118-110 118-110 all for Kostya...

I think Roger might be in denial a little.. Not about his nephew.. who he gives an Honest and fair description of.. But of Himself.. When you win at most 1-2 rounds of a fight.. You got slaughtered.. and That is That.. these ****ing Mayweathers are Characters.. if nothing else..

You can't see Cotto winning because you are thinking about the Mosley that dominated in his earlier years. Mosely is a Shell of the man he used to be at 130lbs. Let's be real for a second and breakdown who Mosley has recently defeated. You will see that Mosely is great with C+ B- fighters but struggles a lot with the elite fighters, and lets be Real Cotto is A+ material:

(C+ B-) Luis Collazo W - A good fighter but not elite

(Recently C+) Fernando Vargas (2) W - A complete shot fighter

(C- ) Jose Luis Cruz W - He lost to Sharmba Mitchell recently and Shane could not take him out...Get Real

(C+) David Estrada W - Spring board and Shane went the distance as well

Ronald Wright (2) L - Elite fighter who he lost twice to no shame in losing to one of this eras great defensive fighters.

ODLH W - This fight was definitely won by Oscar even though in the record books it is stated otherwise.

Raul Marquez No Contest by cuts - The Ref and Doctor would not allow raul to continue but Raul was winning this fight hands down up until it was stopped.

Vernon Forrest (2) L - Shanes first two defeats and his downward spiral off the p4p lists.

Need I continue? Shane is no where near the devastating force that he used to be. The Mayweather's are dying for him to defeat Cotto so they can bypass the toughest opponent they would have to face with Cotto. Instead they want an aged Shane Mosely. I think a young Mosely decapitates Cotto but an aged Mosely will fight and fail at the end. Cotto with a late stoppage or Unanimous decision this time around.
