That is probably the silliest statement I have ever read in this forum. Body punching by a puncher can give the unfortunate recipient an unexpected trip to the canvass, bruises that take weeks to heal and even internal injuries that could kill him. Body punching is how you chop a boxer's legs off. Body punching sets up the eventual knockout. Cotto is one of the best body punchers in the sport and has taken out more than one opponent with just one body shot.
We all know that Mosley is a pretty tough guy, we also know he is easy to hit. As to whether he can absorb repeated body shots for 12 rounds remains to be seen.
I knew some idiot was gonna pick out one particular sentence out of the whole thing and run with it. Did you read the whole thing????
Where did I say he has no stamina???? Read between the lines sunny.
I said he has a relaxed slow pace. It worked thus far but it stops on november 10th.

Here is how I see the fight happening based on the above that I wrote:
round 1-5, Mosley is just using his jab and quick one-two's to keep Cotto at bay and has no problems. Cotto is applying alot of pressure but not landing enough. The few bodyshots he does land don't effect Mosley at all.
Round 6, Cotto starts to fade and fatigue starts kicking in. He is not able to do anything and the few good shots he landed never effected Mosley.
Round 7, Mosley picks up the pace from quick one-two's to throwing 4-5 punch combinations.
Round 8, at one point they trade but the steam off of Cotto's punches is gone and Mosley gets the better of the exchange. Mosley catches him with a good shot and cotto is staggered on his feet. Cotto like Vargas against Delahoya backs up against the ropes hurt, Mosley goes for the kill. Either Cotto goes down early and gets a count and another chance OR Mosley just finished him off on his feet with the ref waving it off.
Of course Cotto will not fade on his own. Mosley will make him fade. If you read carefully rounds 1-6 it's all Mosley which is why Cotto starts fading down the stretch and starts getting fatigued.

Like chopping down a tree as the old saying goes.
how???? as far as i know cotto is the one that is recognized by his pressure i bet u mosley past round 4 he's going to diminish his punches thrown watch.
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.
One more thing:Mosley possesses an EFFECTIVE, Counter body-attack of his own
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
kball, i like you but, theres no way cotto vs prime mosley is an even fight, mosley in his prime would Knock Cotto out cold inside 7 rounds....
I like Miguel, but i think Shane has the style advantage....the only hope for Miguel is to rely on Mosley's age...
