I assume you meant prime Cotto and Mosley in the first sentence, if so I only agree about Shane. You've got to remember Mayorga really wasn't anything like he was at WW once Trinidad beat him, and Cotto never had a reign where he wasn't vulnerable to somebody like that. Mosley is easy to call because he's just as much of a beast as Mayorga physically as well as the better fighter, but Cotto had every chance of going against a young El Matador.
I said a PRIME Cotto and Mosley, and I disagree, because IMO a prime Cotto (pre-Margacheato) was still leagues above Mayorga in terms of skill, he would have broken him down with shots to the body and head, IMO Mayorga was too open, too sloppy, and too predictable to have troubled anyone with good counter punching skills
