I find it hilarious people think Mosley can beat Floyd. Old Man Mosley is at LEAST 5 years past his prime.

Did Cotto outbox Mosley???? Poll.

I say no. You can't box for 7 rounds and then run for 5 and consider it outboxing. And Mosley was about to stop him in round 10, but the ref pulled them apart because there was water on the ground and Cotto was rewarded time to recover. A prime Cotto was indeed faster, countered more effectively, had a mean left hand and deadly bodypunches but he still had many flaws (could be thrown off easily and rarely had backup gameplans), was rewarded a lot (made it to the bell against Mosley), cheated to win rounds occasionally (the 5+ lowblows to Judah and bodyslamming another fighter), just got flat out lucky a few times (only gave Torres two weeks to train and was nearly stopped by him) and relied on his power too much (he was getting worked by Quintana and Corley before the stoppages).
I always had these problems with Cotto, but I agree he was a great fighter in his prime (and still is pretty good). I just hope he doesn't lose or get KO'ed by Foreman, or else he'll have Jermain Taylor status...
