and I dont mean this in a negative way but in a serious way. This fight has heaven written all over it. I dont think Shane is the same guy he was when he was younger but he's also not the same guy he was when he was losing. At that time he was basically a one punch guy that had to fight in spurts. In his last few fights he's gotten his flurries back and one them Im really looking forward to seeing is how Cotto will respond to that.
Even thought Cotto has fought speed guys like Zab & guys with good combos & power like Torres, I still think Mosley will be a bit of a shock to him. Something tells me that unless Shane turns old overnight then Cotto will have hell dealing with those flurries and his combinaton of speed & power. Cotto has never been in the ring with anything like that while Shane may not have fought anyone exactly like Cotto but he's fought big tough guys so I dont think Cotto will be a shock to him. Being in the ring with guys like Forrest twice, Oscar twice, Winky twice, Vargas twice, along with some other good guys like Collazo makes Cotto nothing new to Shane.
With that being said, I could see Shane resting in between some flurries and then Cotto chopping him in half with numerous body shots. To me, this is like the most perfect fight in boxing from a pure excitment standpoint and I think it will live up to it. Im leaning towards Shane for the same reason I said that I would lean towards Clottey vs Cotto. I think those guys combos will bother Cotto and on one of them he will block or take every single punch except for the last one and that will stun him and Shane will finish him. I think Shane will fire a combo and Cotto will block them but he will try to fire back while Shane still has his last punch coming and it will wobble him and then Shane will finish it. I do pray though that Smoger is the ref because I could see both of these guys getting hurt bad and an idiot ref stopping it way too soon and changing history like it probally wouldve happened in the Taylor-Pavlik fight
