I don't want to start a flaming thread, but I genuinely feel that Shane Mosley will be the first opponent of Cotto's to actually be his equal in terms of physical size. I'm very curious to finally see Cotto in there with a skilled fighter who he won't bully around the ring. In Mosley, he'll be fighting a man whose ****** with naturally big men like Winky Wright and Fernando Vargas.
I know some people will point to opponents like Judah and claim that he was was not at a disadvantage in size, but Judah is a small man and would most likely perform much better at 140. Cotto is a stocky guy and outweighed guys like Malignaggi by upwards of 15lbs on fight night in the past and the results speak for themselves. Mosley has the bone density and muscle composition to stand up to Cotto's bruising body attack and I can't wait to see the results play out.
One thing is for sure, If Cotto wins, I will give him his props and he will yet again dispell another flaw about himself (glass chin flaw also) if he beats Mosley.
