      I am not havbing second thoughts since I think Mosley will win by TKO and that hasn't changed. I do think if it goes to the scorecards, unless it is clear cut, the decision will go to Cotto.

          I'm not having any second thoughts. I'm convinced that miguel will beat sugar shane by ko/tko or ud. Mosley ain't the sugar of old no more while cotto is a hungry skillfull and powerful puncher.On the question of who has cotto beat, how can beat prime fighters he hasn't fought. He has to start somewhere somehow and maybe this is the beginning, beating an old class A past his prime fighter lol.

            Mosley has looked very good in his last 3 fights. Physically, mentally he looks good. He hasn't shown me any sign of his age catching up to him. And he did very welll in winning a decision with a very slick southpaw in Collazo.

              This isn't no easy fight for Mosley. This is one of his hardest fights at the point of his career right now. He even knows it. Young and hungry monster ready to take a head off. I expect a great fight. Cotto to win and have Mosley quit in round 10 or 11. Everyone will be shocked..




              I think some of that logic should apply to Cotto also.Its a tough fight for him also

              I went Miguel Cotto nuggers website to warn those Puerto Ricans not to put to much stock in Cotto and that hes not that good.

              Im trying to keep them from making the same mistake as they did with Trinidad.

              You seen what happened when Trinidad fought somebody with a pulse with out his gloves loaded,he got his ass handed to him.

              Same thing is going to happen to Cotto

              I think Puerto Ricans should put their hopes on Cintron as the next Puerto Rican sensation.

              He has one punch ko power ,skills and does`nt use his head to block punches.

                  I disagree. Trinidad was B class because whenever he fought an A class guy he lost. Oscar, Wright, and Hopkins all beat him pretty easily. Even though the record book is a "W" for Tito against Oscar, I know better because I paid to watch the fight live. 8 rounds to 4, 7 to 5 at the very most.

                    Cotto's lack of defense is what will cost him the fight. Mosley has chin and power, though his speed is deteriorating he is a wiser fighter who knows how to expose openings and pick his shots. If Judah was able to land on the botton plenty of times, Mosley should have no problem doing it [only with more power]. I was originally rooting for Cotto to take this but reviewing some of his prior fights I don't see how he will be able to pull it off.

                    Mosley KO before the 5th.

                      Let me help you out:Trinidad is a b fighter at best.Those 147 pounders he beat was washed up name fighters and the others were straight up bums.

                      At 154 and 160 (and possibly 147)he loaded his gloves up.

                      Hasim Rahman caught him and tried to warn david reid but he would`nt listen.
                      Fernando Vargases people also tried to warn Vargas he would`nt listen either.

                      It was until Hopkins people caught him that he stop loading up.

                      Hopkins people,when they came to check the wrapping it was already wrapped.They asked him to take the glove off and rewrap the wrap, he refused and said Hopkins can wrap his hands the way he wants.It took pressure on the New York state athletic commission to get Trinidad to rewrap his hands and when he took off the gloves they said his hands was hard like a rock.

                      Joppy said that Trinidad punches had an unatural feel to it.


                      He ruined both Vargases and Reids career and should be banned from boxing for life.

                      Damn i just wrote a book.
