    problems??? I think Demarcus Corley gave the dude problems with his power. Shane mosely will give him a mid-life crisis.

      Don't ever mistake courage with ******ity though. Cotto knows that his only chance is to use his best attirbutes against an aging great and that's exactly why I am backing him. I always back people whose courage is a result of a careful consideration and planning rather then lack of fear(or ******ity).

      Eh, but what can you do, I am backing Cotto and I know he will win, just like I know Hatton will win. This fall is just the time of upsets, you know. I can literally smell it in the air.
      Right, it is upset season. But Mosley is the underdog.

      Cotto has one of the lowest fighting IQ's in the history of Boxing. All he can do is bullrush in and throw to the body when his guy stops moving. It works great on T-cans and gutless wonders.

      Let's see how that **** works on a GRADE A fighter.

        On the contrary, cotto's aggression will make him win the fight. The ten year difference is also a big factor.

          Not in my mind. But you are underrating Cotto so much it makes me wonder....does not matter though, we will find out soon.

            Cotto has improved since that fight and his chin is far better at WW than it was at JW. He was hurt by Judah a couple of times but I was impressed how Cotto took alot of his punches without being hurt.

              you put up a very poor argument for such a big assumption.

                he took zab's punches very well after killing about 1000000000000000 of zab's kids with those low blows. its obvious if you look at the before and after: zab was definitely effected by those low blows. but thats beside the point. you mentioned zab-- who does NOT punch as hard as Shane, yet still stunned Cotto- and at his 'best weight'. I didnt say it, u did.

                  cotto did not take any of zabs punches well. zab only hit him like 5 times and every punch cotto was about to collapse but his wicked left hook to the body(genitals) saved him good work!

                    Some people look past the low blows, but believe me, they can bother a fighter throughout the whole fight. A low blow is a big factor in a match.

                      It will work against him at times. Might get him stunned a couple of times, but I don't think it will lead to a loss no.
