At 147.
Both guys appear to have declined since their first meeting.
Cotto doesn't seem to be the same mentally since Margarito made him quit.
Mosley last night looked old. His stamina was awful.
Both guys have different trainers.
Who takes this rematch ?
Mosley looked old. Still has power but I don't think he'll look any better nowadays than what we've seen vs Mayorga. Cotto would cruise to a points win again but more clearly this time.
Miguel Cotto by clear cut UD.
Yeah. I agree with you. I think Cotto's priority should also be to that scumbag Margarito back in the ring and throw him the beating of his life. I like Cotto a lot. He's one of the nice guys in the sport.Quote:

That said, if Mosley just shut down after round 2, I can see Cotto cruising to a less competitive UD.
Toss up, #1 Cotto has been beaten down in a lot of fights even in some of his wins #2 Cotto has a new trainer and I am just wondering if it's too little too late and if he can even adapt to Manny's style of training.
I'm not too happy that he has Steward in his corner. First off, I think Steward is showing signs of dementia. Secondly, his jab,jab, grab, right hand, grab some more style of traning -- epitomized by the Klitschko sisters - particularly the younger of the two -- is a snore-fest.Quote:

It certainly isn't a little to late, as Cotto is still relatively young at 29. Beyond his prime? Yes. But I still think he has a lot left in the tank. I think he will dismantle Foreman and stop him by the mid-rounds. After that, Cotto has a lot of opportunities open to him. The first person on the radar screen should be Margarito. That is, if Margarito grows the gonads to sign a contract, which he will, as the fight will attract a broad audience.
Mosley will stop him and hard. I don't think Mosley is anywhere near shot, I think that he just got mentally beaten by Mayweather in that 2nd round, and physically beaten throughout the rest. I also wonder if he caught a bad punch that affected his septum at the end of that round.
Cotto on the otherhand I thought was shot in the Clottey fight and lucky to get a decision. I think Mosley will stop him, possibly in the 7th or 8th.
I'd like to see this rematch though, it would be a great co-feature to a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, not that HBO/GBP/Top Rank would ever do that.
i wouldnt mind seeing cotto-mayweather after mayweather - pacqiou, but i would love to see a cotto margarito rematch
Would have loved this sooner but would still be nice.I think Cotto hit a nice improved boxing run but man he has been tattered in last 3 big fights,even the Clottey fight.He fights in patterens and squares so much more.I dont see Foreman as an easy task and am leaning towards a bigger,fresher and more solid boxing Foreman to beat him.Dont think Cotto has the form & sharp boxing vs Mosley this time and I pick Mosley to win on power and backing him as it goes rounds.Frankly hate to see either lose another fight.Both are compliments to the sport but the sun is setting on them.
Cotto by close decision again. But its a bit of a mystery cause its not totally clear which has fallen off more. I do think Clottey would have always given Cotto hell but he clearly has fallen off some.
Shane would win, Cotto is spent after the beating of Marg and Pac. Shane lost against an amazing Floyd, no shame there.
Cotto UD
Let's be honest, are you suprised? I took a viscous beating from a man who BLATANTLY had plaster in his gloves.Quote:

Cotto in exactly the same fashion as before, comfortable, but still fairly close points win.

Cotto's face was a mess for sure but there's still no proof Margarito has plaster in his gloves that night.
But I think we are safe to assume he did.
There is no evidence, you're right, but we wouldn't have known about Magarito using plaster against Mosley if Nazim Richardson hadn't have been so eagle-eyed. I'd bet all the money in my bank account (not a great deal, granted) that he used plaster in the Cotto fight too. .Quote:
