Cotto Thinks Mosley Is Too Old To Beat Him

[Addison]

Cotto scored a verbal body blow when he brought up the age thing. Mosley is 36 (he turned on Sept. 7), while Cotto just turned 27 on Monday.

“I was more worried about Zab Judah (than Mosley),” he said. “I don’t think at the age of 36 he can handle Miguel Cotto. Zab was more dangerous than Shane.”

One writer put forth the theory that Mosley is bigger than Cotto, and Cotto put the kibosh on that reasoning.

“Mosley is coming from 135 pounds, I’m coming from 140 pounds, who is bigger here?” he asked rhetorically.

Cotto very nearly admitted that he will target the privates if need be, at one point.

“Whatever it takes to get a win, I will do it,” he said. “This is professional fighting, you do what it takes to win.”

What's the betting odds? I'm thinking of laying down some hard-earned cash on Mosley.
If Mosley doesn't win this fight, I'll cry for a full year and openly admit that I'm gay and that I only box because I get to hug other men..

Mosley is coming from 135? Does Cotto remember that this fight isn't happening in 2001?

It varies between -130 to -140 for Cotto, and +115 to +150 for Mosley.

Zab more dangerous than Mosley? Cotto doesn't know what he's in for AT ALL.

He's more recently coming from 154, where he beat a certain Oscar De La Hoya AGAIN.

Sweet! I'll put my 3$ where my mouth is then

Addison Cotto's been saying that for like 3 weeks now. But anyway, yeah, it's ****** to think that at 36 he can't handle Cotto. He most certainly can, and all their performances seem to indicate that he WILL be able to stand toe to toe in this epic fight. It's just a matter of who breaks first. Because someone WILL break.

Mosley is getting old and very few fighters can fight well at that age. Look for Mosley to move around A LOT and for Cotto to cut off the ring and pound that body.

Cotto will win and age has some role to play.
