Why do so many people beleive Mosley will defeat Cotto?

[rudement]

no idea why why people think mosley wont beat cotto...
who has cotto really beat? a mentally disturbed zab judah? who even buzzed him.. if you think zab hurting cotto was anything special wait till mosley does, when mosley sees that he hurt cotto he is going in for the kill
i like cotto alot but i think him taking this fight is a little crazy unless mosleys age has caught up to him i dont see cotto winning this

Cotto get's no respect for being an elite unless he comes out of this fight victorious, until than he is just a pretty good fighter.

[K-Nan]

In all due seriousness I can't figure out why so many people see Mosley defeating Cotto. First off Mosley doesnt have power at welterweight(and no Vargas doesn't count).
Second he can't adapt in a fight(as proven by his fights with Forrest and Winky) and Cotto can.
And finally he might have a tought chin but nobody has a tought body and Cotto will kill his body. So how can Mosley defeat a guy who has more power and skill than he has?

More SKILL??

[freedom213]

mosley has all the tools to beat Cotto, he just has to use his experience foot speed and smart movement to keep cotto off of him and create space for him to effectively counter. If he cant keep Cotto off of him than his only hope will be to catch Miguel and Knock him out, otherwise cotto will pressure him into the ground. Cotto has to find his range, punch in combinations and do his thing to the body but he also has to pump his jab to do damage and keep shane from finding his rhythm. Both of these guys will get to know each other real quick and i think we will see exactly how this fight will play out after the first couple of rounds.

did someone say tought?

[NAPO]

wooooo woooo COTTO IS AN ELITE FIGHTER and believe it or not he has the tools the destroy mosley and not going to the cards im mean A GLASS JAW ur and idiot if by now somebody thinks cotto has a glass jaw he has a decent jaw he has proved throughout his fights THIS FIGHT ITS JUST TOO EVEN TO PREDICT JUST WAIT UNTIL NOV.10 AND WE SEE THE TRUTH GO COTTO!!!

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Wright and Forrest are also taller and bigger man with excellent jabs, who can compete @160 while Cotto is smaller than Mosley

I do not believe that Cotto is (significantly) smaller than Shane.

[THE REAL NINJA]

I do not believe that Cotto is (significantly) smaller than Shane.

He's not Mosley himself is only about 5'8 or so and is a perfect sized welter and not a big one like people make him sound.

He's maybe a little big for the weight but he is to small for anything over it so what ya gonna do ?

No matter if you are picking Mosley or Cotto, I don't see how you can possibly not get that this is a fight that could go either way. So mocking either side as if they are idiots is like flinging **** straight up in the air and not moving. When it's all said and done and you are covered in feces, maybe you'll think things through the next time you fling ****.

Welcome sir, and very nice post. Unfortunately in here anyone who makes a prediction is an idiot in the minds of some people.
