I had to check boxrec, its been about 6 or 7 years, KO'd Adrian Stone. I mean that's a bit misleading because he's fought guys like Winky and ODLH but I honestly haven't seen that much power even when he was fighting guys like David Estrada, Cruz, or even Collazo although Collazo's a better fighter than those two. I think he's still a good body puncher though and its not like he doesn't hit hard with head shots but I don't think of him as a massive puncher by any means. And I think Cotto's chin is a little underrated.

But having said all that, I'm still kinda leaning Mosley because of the hand speed, toughness, and even though I don't think he's a huge puncher, he's not feather fisted. Great fight though, can't see how it wouldn't be anything but a great fight.

Here's a man who knows his shit.P4P poster. Mosley is a very very good fighter but he was best at the lighter weights. He has been good at 147 and 154,not amazing but if you read some of these posts,you'd think he was some kind of power puching machine. Sure Cotto has been wobbled but he shows heart and I don't see any difference here.

The only thing I disagree with you about Ouma is the outcome,the more I think about it,the more I'm sure Cotto is going to win.His stamina was his biggest weakness at 140,he has been a wrecking ball at 147. He was averaging 70 plus punches per round v Judah and I don't think Shane can live with that speed. Cotto's jab and southpaw stance(when he switches) will help him alot too and his body shots will be too much for Shane who although has good wins over Vargas and Collazo,neither compare to Miguel.

I'm open for SIG bets for this fight. Need to redeem myself!
