I think this fight, along with the Pavlik JT fight, will challange Marques - Vazquez 2 for fight of the year in a year of great fights.

This is IMHO the best match up of the year. The young, strong and undefeated new champion against the older, more experianced, yet still strong and fast former champion. Also, Cotto might be young but he has already had some good experiance. He has handled slick boxers, he has gotten up from a KD and won, he has delt with adversity and prevailed and is a two division champion. Mosley Has been up against the best and won his share. He is Cotto's gateway to the elite level.

If Cotto wins, he will be in that class of elite. If he loses he will be on that second level of Judah, Vargaz, Mayorga. Good champions that come one step short of greatness. I say he makes it through, but barely.
