    If Mosely couldnt beat Cotto

    If Mosley couldn't beat Cotto, what makes people think Pac can? Mosely is stronger and just as fast as Pac, yet he had his hands full with Cotto. People can debate the outcome of Cotto/Mosley but everyone can agree that it was a close fight. What does Pac bring to the table that Mosley didn't?

    Because that was the same crappy version of Mosley that went on to struggle against Ricardo Mayorga. Mosley is better now with ****m Richardson, and I don't really use that as a gauge for this fight. That version of Mosley is better than the last three opponents that Pac have fought though. I'm not denying that.

      Different fighters, different styles. More like if Mosley couldn't beat Cotto what makes you think he'll beat Mayweather?

        cosign.

        and to the TS, mosley is NOT just as fast as pacquiao, stronger yes tho....

        biggest problem with your comparison, IMO, is that this is not the same cotto pacquiao is fighting, that fought mosley....

          Because Mosley is and always has been overrated at 140-147lb.

          Apart from one split and one highly dubious decision against De la Hoya, he's flattered to deceive, IMO.
          Forrest beat him twice, Wright beat him twice and all he's got are a couple of victories against a shot Vargas.

          Forget Mayorga and Margarito both of those guys are bums.

              Um maybe because Cotto hits harder than floyd & stands his ground & has a better punch output & Cotto's boxing skills are underrated & Cotto has never been outboxed!!Mosley is as fast as floyd,twice the Power,in short,Cotto or Mosley have a real chance at floyd!!The potshot,shoulder rolling king will have a hard time winning by throwing 1 punch at a time against bigger opponents,just saying!!

                Mosley fought the wrong fight. Also Cottos flaws a e a lot more apparent now.

                  If Cotto can land his right hand and counter effectively throughout a 12 round fight on Mosley then Mayweather can. Not to slight Cotto, I'm a Cotto "stan".
