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.
