World welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, looking fit and trim, came in at 157 pounds today in San Juan for his 30-day pre-fight weigh-in. Cotto was far under the limit for this date and said he is anxious to take on Sugar Shane Mosley at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Nov. 10. "I am very satisfied with all of my training and work we have done so far," Cotto said. "There is no doubt I will be in my best-ever condition on November 10."

Awesome news, cant wait for this one ! Definitely going to be a classic fight.
I take Cotto via a very close decision, time for the young guns to take over.
Cotto will have to be in the greatest shape of his career to beat Mosley, IWO.
I'd love to see Cotto pull out all the stops...but against Mosley...I just aint even 80% convinced that he can do it...& I'm a Cotto fan.
157 is kind of low at this point. Is there a danger of over training?
You have been doubting Cotto since the year 1901. You will stop doubting in late 2008 when he has unified.Quote:

Ok, who has all of the belts?
Who the fudge has the WBC welterweight title?
Shane? And this belt is not up against Cotto? WTF.
Williams has the WBO
and Cintron has the IBF
Cotto has the WBA.
Can some one tell me who has the WBC?
Thank you.
Will Cotto have to fight both Williams and Cintron? Or will Williams target Cintron first?
Holla.
Call me stupid but I think Cotto will stop Moseley early, just a feeling that he will catch the sugar with a left hook and knock him down and then be all over him. Mayweather will be wetting his pants.
No way in hell thats happening Mosley has solid chin im a fan of both Mosley and Cotto and i have a bet that Mosley will win but to be honest i don't really care who wins because im big fan of both fighters good luck to both Cotto and Mosley.Quote:

It may take Cotto longer to impose himself but as he builds momentum Shane may feel the pace at this age . At teh same time Cotto needs ro protect his whiskers early cuz the speed of Shanes punching and explosive combos will have Cotto breakdancing in the first half of the fightQuote:

I'll agree on the fact that I think it'll be a good fight...but Cotto likes to trade too much for me to pick him against Mosley & Mosley's got HOF capabilities tucked into his resume.Quote:

I don't like both evenly...I love Cotto...I just think that this might be too much, too big, & far too soon.
Also, love the Hopkins Tarver shot with Taylor tossed in there. You should slip Pavlik into your sig & title it "Once you fight Pavlik once you get hammered the fuck out!" ;D
One thing about it...if Cotto can get off...he'll more than likely bust Mosley the fuck up.
I'd soil myself if he knocked Mosley out...but I'd be better pleased if he just outboxed him...that would be a statement that would make Cotto the "danger man" & then the "go to man" of the division.
Floyd would have to make a line straight towards him.
Agreed :coolclick:Quote:

If Cotto beats Mosley I will be very surprised.
