    I got Mosley by either UD or late TKO.

      I'm going with Mosley, he's still very fast, has a great chin, and I don't hear anyone mentioning that he's probably the biggest opponent Cotto's ever faced
      (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I don't remember Vargas or DLH rocking him,
      and both are good punchers at a higher weight class than Cotto has ever fought at.

      EDIT:

      I forgot to say that I think Mosley will win by decision or very late stoppage, possibly due to Cotto being too exhausted to avoid being hit.
      We'll see...

        Gonna be an amazing fight! My mind tells me to pick Mosley cause he's too tall, too fast but I'm going with my heart and picking Cotto! Think this is going to be a great fight and Cotto going to finish him in the late rounds with a beautiful body punch.

        Cotto KO in 8th.

          I've got Mosley. I suspect it will be rather easy for him, but can't say I'm confident to claim that.

          However, I'm very confident Mosley will win. In fact I've betted on it, something I've never done before.
          Speed, power, skill and chin combined with superiour reach should ensure that Mosley is a firm favorite. Why he isn't beats me...

          In my mind, it's not necessary to break down how he can win, as he should be able to win any which way he wants to.
          With that much speed and excellent bodywork, he can be a monster up close if he wishes too. In fact, he was brutally good at infighting at lightweight.

          Cotto doesn't hit as hard as advertised, so I don't think he gets lucky with one shot either...

          I think this will be an ass-whooping!

            I think Zab Judah would beg to differ with you.

                Yeah, maybe he would. However, it didn't take Tszyu 11 rounds of massacring to lay Zab down, did it?
                Cotto could knock down Ali if given enough shots to do it...

                    Mosley by KO in 9 Cotto's chin is suspect and when Mosley has a guy hurt he is a great finisher.
