    Why did mosley lose to cotto? Once and for all

    Well in my opinion i think that shane mosley fought the wrong fight against miguel cotto and he tried to come back at the end of the fight. I think that mosley has a warriors heart and everytime he get in to a fire fight he light's up in other word you touch mosley and mosley jumps on you and sometimes it doesn't pay off. Had Mosley used more his skills insted of his warriors heart he would of won the fight against cotto . Im not trying to take nothing away from cotto cause i like cotto but honestly shane mosley just fought the wrong fight against cotto and he had a wrong game plan witch was coming forward to knockout miguel cotto....This saturday we will see the best shane mosley ever and i wont be shock went i see mayweather knocked out in 10 round ..


    for the record mosley lost to forrest and wright twice to both cause of that warriors heart....it's good to have a warriors heart but sometimes shane has to be careful cause fighting a toe to toe can go ether way .....

    I think Cotto outboxed him in a close fight. Cotto was an excellent boxer, and was busting Shane with the jab even when retreating.

        Cotto was aggressive and engaged with Mosley and Mosley willingly traded back which cause him to get hit with shots. I also don't think Mosley expected Cotto to be as good a Boxer as he was that night. I think both guys had one hell of a night with Cotto just edging it.

        The thing with Mayweather is he doesn't like getting out of his comfort zone because that's where he's most effective. Fighting Mosley, I think it'll be a lot harder for him to coast and rely on Mosley making mistakes all night and making Mosley mentally quit from frustration (like a good amount of Floyd's opponents have done). One of two things I believe will happen. Mosley will have success landing shots on Floyd making him increase his offense and landing flush on Mosley while he's in the middle of exchanging, or Floyd will keep backing up when he sees Mosley isn't giving him the distance he wants making it tough for Floyd to let anything get off.

                  The ref stopped the fight in like round 9 or 10 mysteriously to wipe off the mat right when Mosley blasted Cotto and had him wobbling all over the ring. If not for this mysterious stoppage Mosley would have KO'd Cotto. Horrific and shady timing on the cleanup.

                    You probably had Carl Froch beating Kessler! Cotto outpointed Mosley and was landing the jab and straight alot! Also Cottos punches had more of an impact! Cotto hurt Mosley early, Mosley starting circling when he was hurt. Mosley hurt Cotto late in the fight, Cotto started circling too and stop engaging as much.
