Everyone is saying that Cottos bodyshots are gonna be too much for Mosley but Mosley took some big bodyshots off ODLH in both there fights and still went on to win, surley Oscar hits harder than Cotto??
Well i feel that, it was more Paulies movement and footwork that puzzled Cotto. Had Malignaggi stood still long enough he would have been taken out, his footwork kept him in that fight. I feel that fight was a lot like Judah Cotto in that although they desrve credit for staying in there they really never threatened. Many people made out that Malignaggi was unlucky not to win, but for me Cotto dominated.

Ricky Hatton says when he fights at 140 he weighs in before the fight at 150. Id love to know what Miguel weighed after the weigh in just before this fight as he looked incredibly big in comparison to malignaggi.
I agree Cotto did look alot bigger than Paulie and I agree Cotto pretty muched dominated the fight and landed the harder punches. The only time Paulie really caught Cotto is when Cotto went backwards. I think if Mosley uses his boxing skills and footwork he can cause Cotto alot more problems than Paulie did cus Shane has the power in his punches that Paulie lacked to hurt Cotto.

Who are you backing for the win hitmandonny cus Im sure I read in another thread that you are a Mosley fan?
Agreed.
Well you may have read in another thread that im a mosely fan and in another that i'm a cotto fan
I really admire both guys (wjich is funny as stylistically they'ree opposites.) and i find it so hard to favour one guy.
As i said elsewhere a win for shane would be great as it would cement his legacy, but a win for Cotto would be good for boxing beginning an entirely new legacy for the sport.
So to be honest i won't no who i support until the bell rings and i begin to shout for somebody!!!!
