Cotto targets best condition ever!
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."

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
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.

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
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.

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
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.
;)
Remember I said last year, that by late 2008, Cotto would own all of the belts. This means Cotto/Williams is in the loom. ??
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.

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
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.

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
You never know, more crazier things have happened. I like both too but will be rooting for Cotto just.

Ok, I did not want to bring up his name. I wonder where he will fit into all of this. I guess we will have to wait until after his fight with Hatton. I forgot Ricky is moving up for this fight. This should be a very interesting scenario indeed. Thanks.

I like em both too but I think the people that are writing off Cotto arent being realistic . He has a very big chance here. Shane is a bgger more solid version of Judah . 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 fight

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
mosley vs cotto is going to be a good fight. it's so hard to choose who would win and so many questions like can cotto deal with mosleys power or can mosley deal with cottos pressure and body shots. i like both fighters evenly. man i can't decide who wins

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.
Can Cotto deal with Mosley's power? Good question. Add "can he take the volume?" & you've got a real quandry on your hands.
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
-
Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
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:
Mosley is still pretty darn good, too good IWO.
If Cotto beats Mosley I will be very surprised.

:coolclick: back.
I was really surprised that Mosley has been as effective coming back down. I just thing that his size & speed & power is going to befuddle Cotto...hope I'm wrong.

Re: Cotto targets best condition ever!
Miguel Cotto will win this fight. He will be shaky early,may get dropped but he will be too strong v Mosley and the body shots will slow SSM down.

Cotto has been shaken in his career but no one could take advantage because of the level of opposition take the Corley fight for example Cotto was all over the place for most of the round and Corley had a great chance to finish Cotto but because Corley is such a sloppy finisher he couldn't do it if Cotto gets hurt vs Mosley im not sure if Cotto will survive like he has done in the past Mosley is a good puncher is very fast and is very good finisher.

Like i said i don't care who wins im fan of both but im just pointing out Cotto has been hurt badly before but the opposition he was up against couldn't take advnatage of it and Mosley has very solid chin he has only ever been down against Vernon Forrest and he took a beating in that 2nd round im still not quite sure how Mosley survived.

Does nobody on here think that Judah was giving Cotto quite a fight before he started hitting him with low blows? I do! This seemed to knock the shit out of Judah. I think that Mosley will teach him a boxing lesson and setup a big fight with Floyd providing he comes through the fight Hatton.

Judah has the sneakiest upper cut in the business. Mosley is on another level. Mosley will hurt Cotto maybe more than once for shizzle but if he can not put Cotto away because Cotto has been out on his feet and he has still came back to win, then Mosley will lose. Mosley is old and if he is not taking his ROIDS, he wont be as strong as he was against DeLaHoya. Cotto should do his homework and watch some Mosley footage but Cotto says whatching his opponents fight is not his job and he does not do it. I believe this is true because he just kept walking into Judah's upper cut over and over again like an imbecil. lol
I still have faith in Cotto's will and his heart. The rest just seems to fall into place. To say that Judah smoking Cotto early is foolish. Cotto got rocked but was still holding his own. Cotto would have beaten Judah with out the low blows. The low blows were a messege. I bet Floyd paid Cotto some big bucks to land those low blows early ;)~
WAR COTTO!
I am taking on all bets!
You think you can own me?! Come get some.
Sigi bets what ever.
I owned you bets, those too. Bring it.
Frozen Pecker head! You want in?!
rjj tszyu? You need to get owned. Come on now.
Who are you anyway?

Yeah Judah looked good against Cotto, like he does with everyone else the 1st 4 or 5 rounds. Then he gets mental blocks and fades away. Not saying the low blows were very fun for Judah, but plenty of people suffer things like that and still stay in the fight. I imagine Cotto would have won regardless of the low blows or not, but who knows??? Zab's been known to throw some illegal punches{and other things} himself. Cotto is too willing to take shots and seems chinny, but he's got mucho heart. I have been saying Mosley will win, but I'm starting to wonder. Really depends on how "old" Shane is and if Cotto has learned to not block so many punches with his face. This will be an action packed fight.

Sorry if I made it sound like I thought Judah would have won the fight. The point I was trying to make was that if Shane gets him going early in the same way Zab did then I can only see one outcome. Ko Mosley or a very lopsided UD.I don't see any low blow getting to Mosley like it did Zab. As far as Judah is concerned I think he was far more effective as a junior welterweight and if he can make the weight he should go back now. "COME ON ZAB KOSTYA HAS GONE NOW"lol

CC bro I hear you.
Any great finisher could stop Cotto.
You either have to have one of two qualities.
1.-Clean and effective with every last shot which means you have to be precise and on point or else you will miss your opportunity.
2. Patient <---- This is very hard to master.
But anyway, Mosley/Cotto will be a great fight. Some one is getting knocked out. I said the samething for the Cotto/Judah fight. Someone is getting knocked out ;)

CC Danny G. This is what I like to see. A nut hugger,a huge huge Cotto fan but still talks sense and doesn't accuse everyone who is against his boy of not having knowledge etc if they make a valid point. An excellent fan,great post,have a deserved CC from me. I agree with all your points,especially the highlighted.

Judah landed some good shots...but if you watch it again...so was Cotto.
Watch many of Cotto's fights & you'll see that he get's in there & bangs a bit to start & I honestly believe he goes in there just to get a taste to see how much he can take.
He did it with Sosa, Pinto, Abdullaev, Judah, & Corley on top of many others...that sounded disgusting...but you know what I mean?
