Prime Mosley - Prime Cotto

[FinitoElDinamita]

I hope none of u put Mosley on that ATG status cuz he sure aint.

All depends on what weight... Mosely has the punch and chin of a HW. If at Jr. Welter and Welter I would have to give the edge to Mosely. But if at Middle and Jr. Middle I would have to give the edge to Cotto...

Mosley wins. Cotto is very good, but Mosley was great.

Cotto barely barely beat Mosely when he was getting past his prime.

Not quite. Great as in hall of famer.

For me it goes:
Contender
Titlist
Champion
Great/Hall of famer
Legend/ ATG
GOAT/Roy Jones

I think you could argue Shane was an ATG at lightweight.

[TeleTuff]

IMO,..Both were close enough to "Prime" when they fought,neither One was close to washed up......It was A Very Good close fight,and I thought Moseley won....But,...I did not feel like he would get the Dec....and he did not.....Cotto was A Virgineing Peurto Rican Superstar,...and Shane for all his talent`s,...simply was not ever going to be A Star...Great fight though,may go watch it again..!

He showed a lot of promise at 135 but failed to fight anybody to be regarded an ATG.

I think the Shane that jumped up to fight Oscar from 135 beats Cotto at 140 or 147. A 35 year old version came close but ran out of time. Had that fight been 15 I think Shane would have won it but that's here nor there. Cotto boxed beautifully in that fight with a marvelous controlling jab and had to many rounds in the bag for Shane to pull it out without a ko.
