Cotto doesn't have the tools to beat Mosley

[Kball15]

i sort of agree with this post here.

Mosley is a fighter before anything else, and it takes very good stamina to keep up with him... WHEN HE WAS IN HIS PRIME!

I think he recent wins are more then decieving, i think he fades dramatically late in this fight and i think Cotto comes on SO strong late that he stops Mosley

dont get me wrong, if this fight was made when Mosley was in his prime it still would have been a hell of an even fight, but id make MOsley the slight favorite instead of Cotto.

Cotto has a strong jab, but its not gonna be so effective against mosley cause Cotto needs som room to step into it.

Body punching WILL be very effective, Cotto is a great body puncher, and its gonna tear the life out of Mosley in the late rounds.

I expect an amazing fight, but i have strong feeling that mosleys age will play a large factor, and youth will overcome age on novemver 10th

Yes. It only gets you the win.

Please. Mosley isn't as young or as fast as he was in that video. I just don't think that a 36-year old Mosley has what it takes to beat Cotto.

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.

let me make this easy for you,cotto,is a boxer puncher,his boxing is so subtle most don't notice it,his arms are shorter than mosley's yes but his jab is better,mosley paws with his jab to set up the big right hand,ala kostya if you will,he's got an arsenal of punches,his uppercut is underrated,and he's got a sneeky right hand,i'm telling you guys this is the begining of the prime of cotto,this is shane on his way down,.cotto tko mosley 11.

Yes. It only gets you the win.

let me see mosley throw a five punch combination after a couple of rounds of body shots.

Ok, and you. After Cotto beats the living **** outta Mosley, I don't want to hear, "Cotto is younger and stronger then Mosley". Because if that's the excuse your going to lean on, you should have bet your money on it.

Cotto fans are quite biased, Mosley isn't a moron. He is not like Zab Judah, what makes you think Mosley will allow Cotto to get to Mosleys body. Mosley has the reach advantage which is why I don't know why hes not favored to win this fight...

both fan bases are equally biased,the same arguments that were made for judah are being made for mosley,than after cotto beats mosely the same arguments will be made for floyd.

My view on this fight is that Mosley would have been extremely tough to beat for Cotto, had he been younger. But it's no denying age will be a factor in this fight. Cotto with the fresher body and amazing energy. He's training for this fight harder than he's ever trained which is scary because look at how well he's done in the past. He completely destroys his opponents. I think this fight will depend on how much Mosley wants it. Cotto obviously is hungry as hell and fights with the hunger in each fight. Relentless and unforgiving. Mosley is going to think about where he's at in his career and just how much he wants to take the beating on whether or not he goes the full 12 rds with Cotto.
