Ike Quartey vs Mosley and Cotto

I'd say its a pick 'em fight.
From what I've seen of Ike, he could be a bit inconsistent. One fight could be a killer, then the next he could tame.
I think it's a toss up. Cotto has the ability to win as does SSM.
And those saying that prime Mosely would KO Cotto. I think the same outcome would occur. Moselys power never left, so Cotto could take his punches all day. Cotto's laser jab would do the same thing.Comment

You do realize that Ike had one of the best jabs ever right?I'd say its a pick 'em fight.

But his footwork and speed has decreased, there are plenty of things about Shane that are no longer as good as they was in his prime.I'd say its a pick 'em fight.

Watch the 1st DLH fight. he'd step back make DLH miss and move forward and fire back in 5-6 punch combos. He didn't do that once vs DLH and Oscar had a better jab that Cotto.Comment

I never questioned that
My point of contention is that Cotto is willing and able to take a punch to land a punch. He will dig in the body and chop him down. Cotto's jab is no slouch either, coming from his dominant hand.
Mosley has more power than Ike I believe, and Cotto was willing to take those ridiculous right hands to tap Shane's body and soften him up. I could see the same outcome
And the flip side, I could also see Ike play a techincally sound and proficient fight and keep Cotto off of him to win the contest. No way do I see him KOing him.
If Margarito, Mosley, Clottey couldn't KD Cotto, don't see Ike doing it either.Comment

Shane always lunges when he throws that right, always and that's what Cotto waited for and caught himBut his footwork and speed has decreased, there are plenty of things about Shane that are no longer as good as they was in his prime.

The same thing would happen 10 years ago, he'll let off prettier combos but he's going to get hit coming in.
A fight between them two is close yesteryear, today and tomorrow. I just see Mosley having issues with Cotto's precision always. Shane is too good to ever go down face up, but his face won't look as sweet just like their first fight.
I just hope these two fight again since the first fight was so enjoyableComment

I feel in the rematch he'll stop Cotto (if it happens) I see I can't convince you that Shane would stop him in their primes but if the rematch happens I think ****m formulates a gameplan to stop Cotto.Shane always lunges when he throws that right, always and that's what Cotto waited for and caught him
