    If Mosley wins, how much will it enhance his legacy?

    Shane Mosley, the guy who has fought all comers. When no one wanted to fight Stinky the Twinky, Shane fought him. When no one wanted to tackle the Viper, Shane fought him. Win or lose, this guy was never scared to take on a dangerous opponent. So now, at 36 years of age, he steps into the ring against a human wrecking ball, a killer, in Cotto. Let's face it, the odds look stacked against the grizzled old veteran. If he somehow wins, if he pulls it off against the young lion, how much does it further enhance his legacy as a fighter's fighter?

      We'll have to see how kind the critics are to Cotto in defeat.

      If Mosley goes in there and blows him out the way Bernard Hopkins has suggested I think the response could be underwhelming.

      A devastating KO would help I'm sure..

        Cotto is the favorite.

          It will show how good Mosley really is. He is very underrated.

            You trying to tell me that Cotto's pickle wasn't tickled at the thought of taking on a 36 year old with a good name? Young up and comers salivate at the mouth to gain accolades at the hands of great fighters who have already peaked. I bet you anything that Ricky Hatton was ecstatic at the prospect of fighting a mid-thirties Tszyu. Don't try to twist it around here, a 36 year old Mosley winning this fight will be more impressive than a 26 year old Cotto. Cotto huggers are going to act as if Cotto beat a prime Mosley, please, rewind the clock 10 years and make Mosley 26 and I'd take Mosley by KO in 2.

              it will help his legacy for now but when cotto loses 4 out of his next 5 it won't seem so good in retrospect.

                Will it prove how much steroids make a difference in this game called boxing. And that Mosley wins his fights by cheating

                  It would do wonders for his legacy. Beating a prime undefeated champion while he is past his prime. It will help his legacy tremendously IMO.
