    Repeating History?

    History has a funny way of repeating itself. If this is certain should we rule out the possibility.
    People will not remember the way Leonard made a fool of himself at age 35 by challenging a 24 year-old beast called "Terrible" Terry Norris. Could the Mosley-Cotto showdown venture towards a similiar path. Will we see the rising "young star", considered by many, as a beast, give Mosley the Humbling encounter, most AGED fighters experience. If Ali, Whitaker, Leonard, and Julio Ceasar Chavez were unable to turn back the clock, why should we feel that Mosley is an exception.

    people have this idea that mosley is the mosley[roided up] that beat de la hoya,trust cotto is not a weight drained vargas,estrada,a jose luis cruz that lost every fight he fought against a name,or a one handed collazo.i'm not saying cotto will dominate , but i doubt he loses.

      It's not the same situation.

      Leonard was coming off like a 1.5 year layoff, Mosley fought back in... february??? and has been keeping in tremendous shape
