Has anyone noticed that ever since the Torres fight Cotto has not been in there with a puncher? He's getting put in there with good fighters that can't hurt him, so he breaks them down eventually. Shane Mosley will have some pop at 147. It's funny how after a few good fights, people tend to forget Cotto's close calls. I'm not saying Cotto doesn't have a chance but Mosley should beat Cotto. Mosley is quicker, faster, smarter, has a pretty good edge in handspeed, has better footwork, has the experience, has a better chin, and just might have the same power Cotto has at 147.
All true....but Shane is on the way down....Miguel is on the way up.

And Shane didn't have to worry about being weight drained when he was at his lowest weight class. Miguel did....he fights a good 20 pounds over the limit at 140-147.

Shane is a tough top tier fighter and an all-time great but Miguel is still improving....he may be able to upset Shane eventhough he doesn't have the style to do it the way it has been done before
