Who is better Mosley or Cotto?

[MR. V]

I see too many of you saying that Mosley is better than Cotto just because he beat an unplastered Marg. Let me remind you. Cotto beat Mosley (it was close, but he did win), and Mosley even said Cotto was a warrior for doing so. Cotto's lose to Marg was due to plaster (don't want to hear that he didn't have that ****), and Cotto would have showed all of you that Marg was/is a garbage @ss boxer. More respect!

By the way poll will be added....

plaster or no plaster, that had nothing to do with it. marg couldnt touch sugar,cottko got demolished by endless punches from marg. in that fite cotto didnt use any defense at all. sugar was popping and moving all nite against tony, thus eventually knocking him out with power shots.

I wouldn't say one fighter is better than the other, per se. The fighters are evenly matched. I think Mosley came into the first fight a little too ****y. His plan was to go in and test Cotto's chin right off the bat. When Cotto started landing counter punches in succession it startled Shane. For 2 or 3 rounds he looked very stunned and was on the verge of being dropped then he changed his fight style around the 8th or 9th round. He started to box more and started to build up a little momentum toward the end of the fight. But by that time it was too late. Cotto built up such a lead at the beginning that Mosley couldn't overcome it by boxing alone. A rematch would be interesting for sure but I wouldn't say one fighter is clearly better than the other. Cotto won but it wasn't by a mile.

Good post! Green coming your way.

This has been discussed too many times on here. In my opinion plaster does affect the outcome of a fight. It could even give the fighter that uses it a mental advantage, but then again you will say NOT and the cycle will continue. How about we just end it there.
