Mosley: "Cotto Would Be Easy For Mayweather"

[Addison]

It doesn't really matter what Mosley thinks. He lost.

At the same time though we can't just dismiss his viewpoint. He would know better than virtually anyone of what he speaks. Let's be fair, Shane Mosley was telling the truth as he sees it. He has a reputation as an honest and humble fighter.

[Addison]

Shane has a better chance of fighting Mayweather than Cotto, watch.

It has a truthful ring to it, G. A disturbingly truthful ring to it.

I hope that doesn't happen, but I fear you're right about that.

[Addison]

I think Cotto puts up just as much or more pressure than Hatton does but smarter, w/ that being said there is still no way Cotto could beat Money! He would get picked apart all night! We all know that Hatton has a better set of whiskers than Cotto, so it would probably be a quicker knockout simply because of the straight right hand and the check hooks that would land all night. Now I believe Cotto is stronger than Floyd so he would probably box Cottos ears off and stay away from alot of in fighting but Floyd could definitly knock him out on the outside if he doesn't hurt his hand and they looked pretty strong sat. night. Oh and another thing, did anybody catch how strong Floyds jab was? It looked like the jabs were as strong as the straight rights!

Floyd has grown into his frame. He's stronger and more powerful than ever before. No doubt about that.

[Addison]

Cotto's one clear advantage over Hatton is that he is a better boxer. Are you saying Cotto is going to outbox Floyd?

Exactly, only the body destroying version of Cotto would stand a snowflakes chance in hell against Mayweather. Like Shane said; he was making a boatload of mistakes. Cotto's Boxing ability is officially overrated at this point.

[Mozza]

see you narrowing it down too soon without factoring who Miguel Cotto is, Cotto has MORE speed and SAME power as Hatton don't get it twisted, look at the KO ratio fam out of 31 fights 25 were KO's and this is having BETTER opposition than Ricky, Hatton's most devastating one punch KO came against Jose Luis Castillo where he landed a CLEAN blow on a part of the body where even Floyd himself would have fallen had he been hit that way, you can't sit here and pretend that just because Hatton caught that KO and has never caught another one in that way that he's suddenly a bigger puncher than Cotto, he isn't.. Hatton is more clumsy thats why he's so reckless, he earned the moniker Reckless Ricky after this fight because it showed, Cotto has the same amount of power it's just it's controlled and not just thrown at you to the point where he can't even stop himself from running into the turnbuckle, Hatton is SO aggressive that he's TOO aggressive and it makes him seem like he is stronger and faster but in truth he's not he just recklessly uses his assets, once faced against someone he couldn't maul he was TKO'ed, there was no surprise there, once Floyd beat him at his own game and frustrated him he couldn't respond, there was no Plan B, Cotto as I have said before has a plan for each letter of the alphabet..

Cotto can Box you, brawl you and do a mix of both, he switches from righty to lefty in the middle of a combination, he has a GREAT Jab and he is overall very station, he doesn't allow himself to be caught like Ricky did with shots that nearly fractured his neck, shots that had he just stopped charging and applying reckless pressure he could have avoided and landed a few of his own.. you think Cotto can't fight the way Ricky fights? doesn't have the speed, power and pressure that Ricky does? nah homie he DOES it's just he ain't so reckless to himself come in face first to shots, he ain't so ****** to hold his hands out as if to push with no head movement and get countered silly all night, for Cotto to fight like Ricky would be a downgrade of a better Boxer/Puncher, Cotto is overall a better Boxer/Fighter than Ricky Hatton, Cotto doesn't rely on 1 thing to win and against Floyd it will show..

Miguel Cotto will track down and beat Mayweather the same way he did Shane, he will counter once Floyd tries that pop shot **** and when Floyd finds himself in the corner he wont easily escape, Cotto knows how to cut the ring off, you guys need to open your eyes on Miguel Cotto, dude is a problem and one that I don't think Floyd can solve, his body punching and just overall ability to wear you down even with shots to your shoulder is amazing, Ricky can't do that he's too busy grabbing you up and getting penalized, Cotto ain't that reckless homie, his jab on top of his versatility, his quick hands on top of his strong mental game, his pace on top of his accuracy will prove too much for Floyd, it took Floyd 8 rounds to unlock the lock of the most reckless fighter aside from Mayorga and even Ricardo has shown a tendency to Box at times, Ricky has too but for the most part Ricky is known for his clinching, it took Floyd to overcome someone o reckless with uncontrolled aggression, what you think is going to happen when he faces someone who IS controlled and actually has a plan A-Z? someone who is so skilled he can out box you as well as out fight you all in 1 round? it's just my opinion here but I SERIOUSLY think Miguel Cotto can pull a decision on Floyd Mayweather Jr.. 100

This is a lengthy post and alot of it is interesting so my reply feels pretty inadequate but I disagree that Hatton is more "reckless" than Cotto. The nickname Reckless Ricky is one that you have bestowed upon him and is actually pretty naive in itself.

Cotto may or may not be faster and more powerful than Hatton but it doesn't really matter because he isn't faster than Mayweather and I can't see him beating Mayweather unless it's by stoppage.

Bottom line is Mayweather vs. Cotto is the fight that should happen right now. These two are clearly the best fighters in the division and it will be close. Just because PBF knocked out Hatton doesn't mean he will knock out Miguel. They are two different style of fighters. Mayweather has fast hands but Cotto is not slow either and he has power in both hands. This would be the Hagler vs Leonard of our time. This fight needs to happen.

Everyone's own personal opinions of the outcome of the fight is why this thing should be an inked deal already. What other fight out there would cause this much debate?
And no.. Cotto would not be easy for Mayweather.

Well put sir.

I'm not going to direct quote the whole rambling statement.

This is what Shane said. It's called paraphrasing. Look it up.

You need to take a class. That is not paraphrasing for that is not what Mosley said or meant.
