Will Mosley win the early rounds and then fall apart like Cotto did?

[Silencers]

So what does that mean?

That means I don't expect him to crumble or get knocked out.

Are you referring to the same Shane Mosley that was so frustrated when he fought Winky in the first fight?? He actually shown me that he can get mentally frustrated and that wouldn't bode well against Margs. Shane will have some moments, but after this fight everyone will say Cotto fought a better fight than Shane.

I'm talking about the Mosley who rallied late against DLH both times, the one who came back and fought Wright again to a close loss, the one who was getting hurt and beaten up by Vernon Forrest but never stopped trying to win, the one who came back who dug deep against Vargas in their first fight, the one who never stopped trying to win against Cotto, need I go on?

Yea, you forgot to add the part where Shane doesn't really know how to adjust when hes in trouble.

This thread is about whether Mosley will break down mentally like Cotto did against Margarito and the answer is no, it's not about his adaptability, which is in question, he normally takes a fight to adapt, he doesn't adapt well during the fight but he always does better in rematches, apart from the DLH rematch and he did switch it up well against Cotto.

Ummm, Cotto didn't just break down mentally, that fool got broke down physically and spiritually. And if Shane can't adapt, guess what, his ass is getting broke down everywhichually way possible.

That beatdown was more mental than physical, Cotto did get punished towards the end of the fight but that fight was tougher mentally than physically for Cotto, I doubt Mosley would get broken down either way anyways, physically or mentally and even if he does get broken down physically, I doubt he'll quit, he's shown his toughness before.

A part of not being able to adjust is mental.

I've seen many a time a corner give specific instruction and the fighter simply unable or willing to carry it out.

It's just what I observed, I could be wrong. Of course, the physical side of that fight was bad for Cotto but the way he knelt down was him not being able to take anymore mentally and I didn't like the way he was looking in the corner before the last couple of rounds started, as I said, I could be wrong.

His corner has not exactly been great at giving him advice on how to adapt, his father normally goes back to saying the same things over and over again. He's never stopped trying to win when he was clearly behind.

There's an insane amount of hype surrounding Margarito since his vanquishing of Cotto last June. Margarito is not nearly as great as his supporters make him out to be. He's still extremely slow, very sloppy, and is not a threat to anybody who can give him angles, mix up the footwork, and keep away from him.

If Shane's legs hold up, he's a very live underdog in this one.

You got a good point there he did make the choice to go down on his own. But he couldn't find a way to adapt to Tony's style. That inability to adapt made him quit. Shane's not a quitter, but he does have problems adapting. At 37 years of age and against a monster like Tony, I don't know if he'll quit or go out on his shield, but he will not make it to the final bell.
