      Casual boxing fans, will side with the more well known fighter. Who is Mosley, Cotto is acctually the favorite and this fight at worst is a pick -em for Cotto.

        ESPN polls had Evander Holyfield beating Sultan. It was something like 70% for Holyfield I think. The ESPN polls are the worst polls.

          Was that one state New York by any chance?

          Also, people might just be voting by name recognition. My friends who aren't into boxing mostly know who Sugar Shane is... Cotto, not so much.

            They see how age won't be a factor. Mosley is in great shape fast, strong, and smart. He may just be too much for Cotto to handle.

                mosley will b a problem
                but look..
                cotto looked great in his last fight w/judah
                mosley looked good w/collazo
                tho that will have nuttin to do w/the fight

                my pick...
                mosley by decision(in the style he beat delahoya I)
                mosleys chin can take cottos power
                and he's barely going to see that power anyway becuz of his reflexes and leaning
                he's too quick,and fast for cotto
                and unlike judah he will be trying to outwork cotto the whole fight
                he will be on his a-game
                cotto will b too but mosley is as hungry as he was wen he fought delahoya the 1st time
                and i doubt cotto was and ever will be as good as delahoya was
                cotto dont box at all really(except against judah)

                i see it like this...
                cotto bobs and weaves while moving forward and throwing occasional head shots(missing the majority of em),and trying to get the body
                while mosley backs up picking off shots and countering
                leaning shots and parrying
                flurrying when cotto gets close enuff..
                all the way to a decision(maybe controversial)

                    Wow, that is suprising. I've been looking at this fight in depth for the last 4 months and I honestly can't figure out why Mosley seems to have all this support steam here at the end. (?) Cotto has been the stronger pony for the majority of the leadup. Maybe it was some of the more recent articles and sparring footage. There has been some great coverage the last few days.
