For me it comes down to this:
People talk on here as if Mosley has super exceptional power but besides knocking out Fatnando I havent seen it in a while. I know he's strong, he's fast and talented, conditioning is excellent but he's also another guy who is on the cusp of getting old and losing that elasticity that only youth can provide. Hopkins is an anomaly lets not put Shane there yet. So Shane will have to bring forth a performance reminiscient of DLH 1, with fierceness and desire to make Cotto go backwards and hurt Cotto at every opportunity. Its possible but not likely.
Cotto will have to be Cotto but a little better and smarter. He will be fighting a guy with speed close to that of Zab's but without the southpaw element. So he has to minimize his mistakes when coming into exchanges(reference to nasty uppercuts he was nailed with). He needs to make sure his Jab is working and just bring his usual relentless attack and pressure that justs makes opponents wilt.
People talk about Mosley's superior experience but I have to question that based on recent activity. What Im saying is Mosley hasnt fought top notch guys since Winky 2004. Cotto is the best opponent he will have faced since Winky and a totally different fight and style to deal. Im picking Cotto in this one to start taking over in the middle rounds and punish Shane to a stoppage by the ref or his dad Jack, but you cannot deny Mosley's abilities and he could bring it, put it all together and finally crack Cotto.Last edited by freedom213; 10-07-2007, 09:14 AM.Comment

there's no 1 way to talk homie I don't know what's in your head but I'm going based off facts, I already done explained thoroughly in full why I feel Cotto would win, you quoted a post that was made in reference to something you said about Cotto not being able to take what he dishes out and I supported my reason for why I think he can, thats all. there's no instance or point in that post that I sound like just a fan homie, I'm not biased, I give every fighter respect even those whom I don't really like too much.. I respect Cotto I'm not no fan and yes I really do think he can win. 100Comment

Wowwww, are you serious?? I'd actually have it the other way around. Collazo is the underrated former champ here. Quintana UD's a prospect in Julio and gets taken out by a body shot from Cotto. I actually think Collazo would be tough work for Cotto because Collazo is tough and somewhat awkawrd with his off-balance south-paw style. Collazo just had the very unfortunate luck of going up against Hatton and then Mosley (that is one helluva duo to look bad against), but he stood up against all of them and went out on his feet against all of them.
I'll tell you this, I'll be able to know who will win between Cotto and Mosley within the second or third exchange of the fight. If Mosley will be able to back off Cotto with his flurries when Cotto lunges in, then he will win by UD or KO possibly. If Cotto is able to rummage his way in, land his body attack without much to fear and his chin holds up nicely, then he will win by KO most likely.Comment
