    This is bull****.

    Your muscles don't age. So there is no physical peak at all.

      Then why did anyone give him a chance at all..??? **** off you doorknob.. You obvioulsy are nowhere near the age of 27-28 or you would know you are just begining to peak.. and the down hill stuff starts in your in midish 30's.. its not the 1920's anymore... many athletes play well into their 30's and even early 40's these days..

      Dont talk if you dont know what you are talking about.. ****ing Nonce

        are you in 9th grade? did you even make it into high school? or did you just eat all the glue in 8th grade and decide that the "magical paste" gave you enough knowledge to say mr-know-it-all bull**** like this?

        the human male body reaches is physical peak at age 30. after that, the body starts to deteriorate.

        if muscles dont age, can you explain why a 30 year old man is typically stronger than an 80 year old man?

        take ur ****** "magical paste" knowledge elsewhere in the world. it has no place here.

          I think the main factors that Shane lost this fight were:

          1) Age: His reflexes were slower than they were and he wasn't able to slip punches as effectively as he used to. His footwork didn't look as good either in this fight. He got tired pretty bad in this fight and couldn't throw good flurries towards the end of the fight when Cotto was backing away.

          2) Cotto: I think he surprised alot of us with his speed in this fight. I don't Mosley expected Cotto to be that quick as well and it caught him off guard early in the fight and cost him a few rounds while he was trying to adjust.

          3) Cotto's Chin: I think Mosley believed a little too much that Cotto's chin was very weak and Mosley was looking too much for a knockout in the early rounds which also cost him rounds.

          This are all just my opinions.

            Mosley didint make up for his defensive lapses by keeping his feet moving for most of the fight, he only did it in the latter part of the fight and it bothered cotto, but on the other hand, he left himself so open for counters, he may as well have been ****ing standing there.

              You tell me why there are men in organisations like the SAS who can run 20 miles with 50lbs on there back and a weapon. Men who are 10 times fitter than people 10 years younger than them. Obviously age catches up with every body in the end but there is no peak. I understand what you're saying and dont want to get into an argument but age isn't a massive factor when talking about somebodys fitness levels. Look at Dean Karnazes (45) or Lance Armstrong (36). Both unbelievably fit athletes who have 2 of the lowest resting heart rates going. The human body doesn't have set limits of how far it can go.

              Have you never heard the saying "muscles have no memory"? You can be at the peak of physical fitness anywhere between 20 - 45. You don't get to 30 years old then all of a sudden start going downhill year by year.

                Mosley ****ed up by not throwing combos and throwing oNe big punch....Cotto has a weak chin and always will.. His defense got better and it's clear if you watch the fight with Judah and the fight with Mosley. Nobody wants to see Paul Williams...not Mayweather not Cotto.

                  I just like the way people still think Cotto has a weak chin. I agree with Welter it's just a myth. Torres is the only man to knock him down and that was more of a push then a punch. Yes he's been hurt a few times, but with his style he's bound to hit good once in a while. I agree as well Mosely went for that KO blow for a few rounds and that's when Cotto started to impose his will and win some rounds that eventually led to his victory.

                      I think that shane didn't expect cotto to box so well and it completely threw is gameplan off. I mean they landed the exact same number of punches which is something I hardly see. Plus I think shane wasn't prepared for cottos jab either. It was excellent. I didnt know that cotto jab so well. I say that it was a case of underestimating your opponent to why mosely lost.
