Cotto doesn't have the tools to beat Mosley

[Vladimir303]

Mosley has only lost to Forrest and Winky. Stylistaclly Forrest always gave Mosley problems in the amateur and pro's. His 6 foot tall frame and his lanky jab were the main reason. Winky's peak-a-boo defense along with his own jab went on to give Taylor and even Hopkins problems.

Miguel Cotto has none of that. No size advantage, no great jab and defense isn't that great either. See Cotto/Torres for evidence.

Beating Malinaggi, Quintana and Judah were great wins but all those guys had flaws that Cotto took advantage off. Malinaggi had the speed, footwork but not the fire power to hold Cotto off.....Shane does. Quintana was a good (not very good) boxer but he was overrated by fans based on his win vs Joel Julio, who barely beat Cosme Rivera afterwards. Judah had the power and the speed but he didn't have the mental strength to take a few shots and keep fighting a la vs Baldomir......Shane does.

Also Mosley is the last 36 year old guy you should be worrying about regarding his prime status. Being a gym rat all these years has helped him in that department. So don't even give me the "Cotto is younger and stronger then Mosley" theory. If that's all you're leaning on...don't bet your money on it.

See here what Mosley does to fighters who don't have a great jab, shell like defense or the speed that competes with his own. Bodypunching will only get you so far.

You mean he doesn't have the steroids to cheat. I don't care how long ago or when he cheated. I hope Mosley gets the **** beat out of him, roids head. If he wins its because he cheated over the years taking roids. Roids is cheating and makes a huge difference. ****ing cheater

Some fat, old couch potato eating white guy hoped that Barry Bonds would suffer from a heart attack before breaking the HR record.



And I hope I hit the jackpot on next weeks lottery.


I'm just saying

If Cotto beats Mosley it will be like a big wheel beating a Ducati.

[EliteSoldier]

Mosley is good, I'm just biased because I want cotto to win. But I honestly believe Mosley will beat Cotto... Zab Judah sucks compared to Mosley... And I'm really afraid of Cotto losing

Cotto does have a great jab though. He just has short ass arms, so instead of it being a rangy jab, it's more of a power jab.

[NAPO]

wtf he dosent have a jab??? have u seen cotto fights??? in this fight ur going to turn into a believer no matter what outcome but im referring if cotto wins.

[EliteSoldier]

for the first time in his career

wow, body shots only get you so far, hmm. Body shots get you a hell of a lot. I'm sure you don't need to be lectured on what they accomplish, you just need to understand how immportant their accomplihments are to fighters. If Cotto can wear down Mosley an d use good ring generalship, he can punish Shane. He might stop him or not, he could just plain stop Mosley's punch production to a point wher Cotto can just outwork him. I have faith to that Mosley can pull this one off, but to think that Cotto lacks the tools beat Mosley it either nieve or ignorant. And I'm leaning towards the latter based on the fact that Cotto has a power jab that rattles opponents, but just as a previous poster stated, he has shorter reach.
