Even Larry Merchant said he had the cotto vs shane mosley a draw...

If your bragging about a in his prime Cotto beating a 37 year old Mosley...Then so be it. Cotto is a good fighter, One of my favorites, but dont get it twisted, it not as if he beat the Mosley that fougth DlH the first time. And it was a very very very close fight. That should give Cotto fans somethng to really think about when really grading Cotto at this time.

I will say this, he has passed every challenge (barely with a Old Mosley) he has been faced with. He is a bright, positive, and class act for boxing. He also if fighting everyone so far....He is the real deal. Destroyed Judah much more than Mayweather did. Has tremedous backing....I am becoming a Cotto supporter.

That's because Larry Merchant knows what he's talking about.

The fight was clearly a draw.

Without the crowd there is no debate.

Cotto is a good actor. He would score an indiviudal jab or grazing combo and back off with his head up, bouncing on his feet like he just did something incredible. He really sold every little move. In certain rounds Mosley would be all over him coming forward and Cotto would land a single clean shot and the audience would act like he just got a knockdown. They went crazy when Shane clearly slipped and fell on the wetspot with Cotto about 4 feet away running away from him. It was hilarious.

Regardless, this was a CLOSE fight and anyone trying to say otherwise is just hyping it, hyping it, hyping it. Everyone agrees there were rounds that could have, or should have gone either way.

HELLO?!? HaHa.. There's nothing definitive about that!!


If Shane wants a rematch he needs to start campaigning for one.

damn true....

I've seen the fight 3 times, liked it alot... everytime I had it a win for Cotto... I even see it 8-4.

Rewatching the fight last night, how the hell did the official judges give round 9 to Cotto? They should have given it to Mosley, which would have made it a draw.

Though it was still a close fight either way and I am not really complaining about the outcome, but how they gave Round 9 to Cotto baffles me.

whoever gives round 9 to cotto is on crack....the announcer thought he was hurt or something as he was visably not the same, and Mosley was thoroughly dominating him that round and for most of the 10th round.

I dont know man.. I ahve seen the fight 5 times.. now.. I have turned off the sound.. I have replayed.. rewatched close rounds... In short I have been as openminded as I can..being a Fan of neither fighter.. with NO money on the line... I think I have been openminded...

To me is it was not even close... It was 8-4 Cotto... and in being completly fair.. I had 2 tied rounds.. making it a 116-113 fight.....

AND the only Controversy I see is on the forums.. Not the press.. Not Camp Mosley... Only Mosley's fans or Cotto's haters....

Something has happened to Humanity in general.. where they can NO LONGER admit they were wrong...

That's all I see going on here

Cotto won easily. Mosley looked ******ed and confused. It was NOT close. Mosley was huggin like Hatton and looked sloppy. Cotto was crisp. ****! Nggas are just sad cause they need to see Cotto get that L on his record. Keep sending the heroes nto the ring with Cotto, and he'll keep sendin them back out looking 10 yrs older and busted up.

same way i scored, in fact I thought it was closer the first time I saw it and on the replays I thought Cotto was much more effective, not that Mosley didnt have moments in many rounds but just not enough.
