Arum says Mosley-Cotto officially confirmed

[OumaFan]

Nice. Its on another website but has Arum saying its officially set, signed, everything.

November 10, Madison Square Garden. I might even think about going to this, should be a great fight.

This is definitely going to be big but I think the pressure of Cotto will win out. I really want to see this, I am so glad he is fighting Cotto rather then Margarito because if he beats Mosley I have a feeling Floyd will fight him. And that is the fight I want more then anything.

Great news!

Whoever wins this fight should get a shot at Maywether, or the winner of Maywether/Hatton for all you brittish hopefulls...

[OumaFan]

I don't think there's any doubt, the winners of these two fights should fight each other next. Its just a no brainer.

I'm gonna have to think more about this fight, not totally sure who I'd pick at the moment. I think it almost can't be a bad fight though, just the way each guy fights.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

if this has indeed been signed then it will be a very good boxing contest, its another big fight for the year, its great to see boxing has picked its self up against all the mma chat and the big names have started fighting each other, great stuff long may we continue to see big names fighting each other

great news

Should be an exciting match...but i see Mosley winning. Shane is faster and more skilled...and stronger as well. He is one of the best conditioned athletes in the sport and also has a great chin to go along with his great experience. Cotto's pressure will make it exciting...but i think Shane has too much arsenal.

[LEGION]

Not only do I see Shane winning, I see him brutally k.o.'ing Cotto in the late rounds, at the least a TKO. I like them both and really don't care who wins, just glad it will happen; and would have mucho respect if Cotto can beat Mosley. The loser should fight the loser of Mayweather/Hatton, well Hatton,lol.

Yeah. Cotto's chin is a bit iffy. You combine Shane's speed with his power...Cotto could be in for a long fight. Should be a fun fight though.

[JT Rock]

Yep well it just a matter of time befor Danny g desicrates Mosely a Hall Of Famer and discredits his accomplishments because he is fighting his Mighty God Cotto

This is going to be a huge MEGA-FIGHT! The Great "Sugar" Shane v.s. "Mr. Destruction" Miguel Cotto! Wow! I still think Cotto needed a bout or two before for this, but oh wells! from Judah to Mosley.

These are two of my favorite fighters because when it's fight night.....they fight! Love the speed mosley brings and love the heart in Cotto. Now, I know most of you will think I'm crazy when I give ya' my prediction, but I know these two fighters style very well and what favors who.

Cotto: needs to establish his Jab. Throw it alot and consistently. He needs to establish the jab so he could then work inside. Play the physical game. Constantly pressure Mosley. Make Mosley move backwards.

Mosley: needs to keep Cotto at a fighting distance. Needs to move around the ring. (Combination-move-combination-move) Needs to be accurate with his counters and needs to land that RIGHT CROSS right down the middle every chance he gets. That will rattle Cotto and help him score a ko or a decision. DO NOT let Cotto inside!! DO NOT fight Cotto's style of boxing!

MY PREDICTION: Cotto's reach is going to help him dictate this fight. This will be a Cotto style fight. Mosley will give in and fight Cotto's fight. Mosley has too much pride and will not run and move in a fight and that is going to hurt him in this one. Cotto continues to be under rated and continues to be underestimated by his opponents. He is faster than what many people believe and stronger than what many think. Mosley is a complete fighter but should've lost the 2nd fight if Oscar would've continued to throw the jab and lost clearly to Forrest and Winky with the jab. The outcome of the Cotto-Judah fight was exactly how I said it was. Cotto TKO, dominant performance, and that Judah was going to give in and fight his style. Mosley, I have to say that Cotto will play the inside game early just to take away Mosley's power in the late rounds. I see a great fight and Cotto wins on all three cards. Remember, every fighter has a style they can't do well against or a style they love to fight against. Mosley's style favors Cotto's.

I dont see how Moselys style favors Cotto Cotto has never fought someone as complete as Mosely nor someone who is as physically imposing in Mosely.

Mosely's 4 loses were against a superb fighter in his prime Forrest and Hall Of Famer Winky Wright, Shane can Brawl and Brawl big time he is a solid pro and Hall Of Famer with outstanding Power, speed and skill to go along with an Helaciously sterdy chin and tremendous heart.. Imo Cotto is in a world of trouble if he trades with Shane. He aint Koing Shane and he isint outboxing him either. Cotto's only hope is to contantly jab Shane and frustrate him out of his game plan, keep him off balance and scrape out a SD. Other than that there is no way in hell he beats Mosely

[LEGION]

IMHO Mosley will beat him decisively. Look at Zab with his awesome speed and how when he worked he gave serious problems to Cotto. Shane is very fast but will take advantage of the angles Cotto will give him. Cotto does use his jab to get close but then looks like the bull going after the matador. Shane will slip out to the side, as Zab did, but unlike Zab will punish Cotto from angles severely. Cotto takes way too long to turn around and I don't see Shane losing that one big advantage. Even if somehow Cotto beats Shane, there is no way that Cotto would beat Mayweather, as that dude would definately make someone suffer from outside angles. I give Hatton more chance against Floyd then I would Cotto, as Cotto is not as quick. Speed kills and it will when Cotto and Mosley get it on.

Exactly. Shane has a great chin...Cotto doesn't. If this becomes a slugfest...Cotto will be tasting the canvas often...Shane has more power and speed. No need to compare this fight to the Judah fight. Judah isn't nearly as complete a fighter as Shane...especially mentally. Not going to say this going to be a cakewalk for Shane...but it will be a tremendous challenge for Cotto.

I agree with you on everything you said about Mosley. I love watching that guy fight. He is complete. I take nothing away from him. But Cotto is younger,hungrier, and in his prime determined to fight anyone. Cotto is aggressive in fights and attacks like if there is no tommorrow. I truly think Mosley will win the early rounds by moving and picking his shots, cobination here-combination there, but I honestly believe he will not move for 12 rounds and will begin to let Cotto fight inside beginning rounds 4-6, Mosley will start to show frustration as he begins to fight Cotto's fight. Cotto's jab will be effective in the middle to late rounds and will steal many rounds and win a close but Unanimous decision.

Following Shanes whole career and being a huge fan of his I have to disagree with Cotto having an advantage at any range, shane can fight effectively on the inside and wont back down and inch... Believe me Mosely is much more sturdier than Cotto, Shane has peoblems with a fighter that can keep him at a distance (Wright, Forrest) Cotto is tailor made for Mosely and can Ice him with 1 punch, Cotto can boar in on Mosely all he wants but he will be up against a steel wall and Mosely aint wilting or moving for that matter..
