Mosley isn't a shot fighter and still has a bit left in the tank but i think Cotto is gonna knock his a** out. Cotto has only gotten better since he moved up to 147lbs and he cuts the ring off very effectively. Trust me Cotto will rip the S*** out of his body and finish the fight in RD 10, hell i think this will be fight of the year. Cotto will get knocked down by Mosley early tho as he will be too excited and try n take Shanes head off and catch a counter. Cotto will come back tho cause hes a warrior and want it so bad. As for Mosley beating Floyd i cant see it myself. Mayweather is such an amazing boxer he can adapt to almost any style and turn the fight in his favor without losing too many rounds. Do you seriously think Mayweather would just coast if he was getting out worked? The only reason Floyd doesn't put out a high work rate is because he hasn't needed to. In the De La Hoya fight all of de la hoya's punches were being blocked and Floyd's landed he was being efficient with his punches whereas de la hoya just let the combo's go and he gassed out. Against Mosley Floyd would be a lot busier and would probably stand up close and counter as Mosley shots got blocked. Shane throws in spurts now so Floyd ll just block the flurry's and mount his own offense.
Dream on. Cotto has been put on his ass by fighters with a lot less speed, power. and skill than Shane. Shane also can hit the body hard, he will be way faster, has a much better chin....and even at his age will be better conditioned. If it's war...Cotto will be the one catching a beatdown by a superior boxer/athlete (unless he want to take a few cheap shots to Shane's crotch). Shane can bang and he can also pick him apart from numerous different angles. Say what you want about Vargas...but he is a BIG, strong, and stubborn guy...and he got viciously knocked down by Mosely. Should be a great fight...but Cotto will be the one in trouble.
