I personally don't think SSM falls under the 'should beat' category....
When I read SSM should beat Cotto IMO your selling Cotto short here. It's like your not taking into consideration how much he has grown as a boxer. I remember when ROCKYMARSHMELLOW and I got into a debate here cause he was saying that Cotto didn't have room to grow that Cotto would loose soon and that he had no future... I forget who was it that backed Rockys theory and said that he also agreed that Cotto had no future.... Well I disagreed with them and told him Cotto was gonna grow and was gonna improve cause he had time and room to improve as he went thru the ranks. Here we are about 2 yrs. later and Cottos still going strong.
I have almost all of Cottos career except for a fight or two but let me tell you man this kids really improved massively. I mean look at the way he finished Quintana off with body shots. Look at the way he finished off Zab with straight right hands and a uppercut.

I think the Cotto vs. SSM fight will start off a little like the Zab fight where SSMs hand speed and skill will cause him problems... Cotto being in the mind set he normally is he'll adjust to it as the fight moves forward and begin to take SSM apart.

Sorry you dont like my wording Mick, but believe me I appreciate Cotto as a boxer and I think he is great for the sport and a class act. I also think he is a hell of a fighter. I just feel that Mosley has the tools to beat him and nothing in Mosley has shown me otherwise. Cotto can beat Mosley sure.I just think that unless Mosley has got old I think he has more advantages. But, like I said dont get me wrong Cotto has done more than anyone can expect of him and even if he doesnt win this one he will lose nothing but his 0.

No need to apologise BoomBoom it's your opinion....
You bring up a very good point when you said "Unless Mosley has got old"
Well BoomBoom I'll tell you what I've seen fighters grow old over night literally. From 1 fight to another, within months....

I would also like to mention that whoever lists Cotto anything higher then #10 better have a gotdamn! GREAT explanation as to why he is there.
I'm a fan and a realist, top 9 he ain't top 10 with a strong arguement I can see it happen.

Another thing is the double standards here. His opponents are S***! cause he beat them... Would he have lost to them then he would have been S***!!

I mean he beat a legit Welter in Quintana who at least was good enought to derail Julio but Quintana ain't S***! right people

Also (and SweetPea will vouche here) wasn't almost everyone here saying if Cotto beat Zab then Cotto would show if he was the real thing or not? And people were saying that Zab was Cottos toughest challenge and blah blah blah.....
Well he beat him and he still get's no credit or respect he deserves.
But I guess, once he beats SSM then people will write off SSM also as just another aging fighter.

If cotto beats Mosley,He is P4P top ten .Cotto is a soldier Ala Edwin rosario.If any fighter,ANY fighter Let alone Mosley, "gets old" In a fight Its because They were shown the door!Great fight But I think mosley has big edge.
