Shane is gonna be an all time great when he retires............. that's a fact.
But................................
In my opinion, he's a loooong ways off from the Mosley of yesteryear.
The reason that I make this bold statement is very simple. The first time that he fought a shot ass Fernando Vargas, he was on his way out by decision or ko. He got the TKO because he kept popping Fernando's eye and swelling it up to the size of a grapefruit before the fight was stopped.
Mosley was gonna lose that fight cause Vargas was coming on real strong in the 2nd half of the fight, nearly dominating in the process.
This would have never happened to the Mosley of old, and I remember watching that fight and thinking (in the later rounds) that Mosley was finished and needed to retire.
The 2nd fight, Vargas was completely shot, and in his following fight, he fought a horribly overrated Luis Collazo and got the UD.
I just thought I'd lay down some opinions before the match with Cotto comes up.
Having said that, I still pick Mosley by a SD over Cotto.
