Shane Mosley vs Yuri Foreman (Sept, 2010)

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Well fellas. I might be in the minority but its not set in stone that Shane would win this fight. He wouldnt look as good as Cotto thats for sure.

Ok. So given this opinion consensus, why are people acting like Foreman was a great win for Cotto?

Because given Cottos status in boxing and how he was perceived to not have much left. For Cotto it was a good win.

First fight at 154, new trainer. Fighting an average fighter nonetheless but a guy with speed, movement and a crafty style.

I wouldn't say great win, but considering all the punishment Cotto has taken; I didn't expect Cotto to look that good. I even doubted him, I wasn't even confident in him winning. We also have to give him credit in that Foreman was so much bigger.

It's because people don't look at everything. People can't be too quick to say Mosley would beat Foreman. See me, I didn't even vote. What we do know is that Cotto's legs/ jab were his main weapons in helping beat Foreman. What else do we know? Shane doesn't have a jab, his jab is disgusting to say the least, and his legs...MY GOD, his legs are shot. All you have to do is watch Mosley vs. Mayorga for that.

Remember how Kellerman said "Cotto isn't throwing the left hook to the body", but we all knew Cotto was never in range to land that shot, and Roy Jones was real quick to correct him. Now imagine Shane!

Great points. I can see Foreman dancing circles and just jabbing Mosley with feather fisted punches. When has Shane ever looked good vs. a guy with a good jab not to mention the height always gave SSM hell.

Foreman has handspeed too. I might even say hes faster than a 154 Pound Shane.
