Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
hey, I don't care if I'm the only one here that sayz Cotto will win. I know what he's got and what Mosley has or had. You'll see how the fight becomes a Cotto fight. Just like B-hop makes everyone fight his fight. Cotto is that type of fighter. I'm not saying he is as good as B-Hop, I'm just saying he is the kind of fighter that no matter who he fights, they will fight his style. I respect Mosley and admit he is one of the best in the bizz, but on NOV 10th at the MSG, it's Cotto's turn to shine at boxing's highest peak and you will see exactly what I've been talking about. Remember that! The odds will be so in favor of Mosley, that we will have to consider it....an upset victory.

I would say he's faster, but not stronger. COtto is the bigger hitter by a bit and he throws his punches better, but Mosley has a better chin. I agree that Shane could win this.
Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
I'm a huge Cotto fan, but I'll admit to being very nervous about this fight. I've always admired Shane Mosley as a complete fighter. Speed, boxing, power, ring generalship. Honestly, I would've rather seen Cotto up against Williams, Margarito, even PBF or De La Hoya first. Mosley is dangerous and it's gonna be a helluva fight, that's almost guaranteed.
I'll be rooting for Cotto, but nervous as hell.

Yes TitoFan be nervous, be very nervous Mosley is still dangerous and will test the Cotto chin to the fullest. Having said that, i think Cotto can win it.

I agree that Cotto can win it, and I agree that Mosley will test his chin to the fullest. Could be FOTY candidate.

Now we talkin'! I will admit, I'll be a bit nervous too just as anyone would for the fighter they're rooting for.
Cotto beats him w/ the jab. We have a hungry 26 yr old who is determined to prove to the world who Miguel Cotto is. he doesn't care about the money. You don't see that in fighters anymore.

Good points!
Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
This will be a great fight!!!......IMO we will know if Cotto can remain among the P4P or if it is time for Shane to say goodbye to the top tier.....I can not even make a prediction right now

the fight with Judah proved that he is one of the Elite as far the fight with Mosley will proove if he is P4P quality.
And if the fight turns to be a very close one It will not damage neither legacy on the opposite
Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
The 2nd round of Mosley v Collazo should give Cotto fans some confidence, Collazo thoroughly out faught Mosley in that round and had him puzzled, I think Collazo must have bust his hand on Mosley's head because he hit him with a huge shot, from that point on he wasn't running on all cylinders and it was easy work for Mosley. I could be wrong but my money is on Cotto.
Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
It's a difficult one to pick as i like both fighters, i have to go with Cotto, he is younger, hungrier and may just have the edge in power. This will be Mosley's last hurrah and he is always dangerous, definately candidate for FOTY. Can't wait for this one!
Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
I have to go with Cotto, but Mosley is a tough opponent even at his age now.
This will prove if he is an elite fighter or just another Arturo Gatti.
Win or lose I will still cheer for him. His power is amazing to watch.

No matter what happens in this fight, no matter how badly Cotto could potentially be outclassed, outslugged, beaten up... He's already proven to be a much better fighter than Gatti ever was. Gatti would've been easily KO'ed by anything resembling a p4p equivalent of Mosley at any point in either of their careers. He would never have stood a chance against a Zab Judah or Malignaggi either. Not to take away from what a warrior Gatti was, but Cotto can never be called another Gatti based on what he's already shown in the ring.

I think Cotto is a lot better than Arturo Gatti!
Re: Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed
Mosely is my favourite fighter and I think he will beat Cotto with his hand speed and movement. Cotto went way in my estimations after beating Zabs arse but I think Mosley has too much for him. Cotto maybe powerfull but so is Mosley and both fighters are mean body punchers. I am a massive Hatton fan and as excited as I am about the Hatton/Mayweather fight I find the Mosley/Cotto fight more exciting and I feel it will be a much better fight to watch because of both fighters styles.
