Im going to quote the article to make it easier.


Take this scenario: An undefeated young knockout artist from Puerto Rico is welterweight champion, and although he has been battering opponents into submission, he remains under-recognized by the American public.

Totally disagree with this Cotto is well known in America.

His opponent is a fast-handed former multiple titleholder who once was considered the world's best pound-for-pound fighter but now is nearing the end of his career and could be ripe for defeat.

That should sound familiar: It's Miguel Cotto, 27, versus Shane Mosley, 36, on Saturday.

Totally different Whitaker was having drug problems and was coming off a no contest vs Andrei Pestriaev and loss to Oscar De La Hoya and was looking faded for quite a few years Mosley is still very good he just shut out a good fight like Luis Collazo who gave Hatton one hell of a fight Mosley didn't look great in Forrest fights or the 1st Winky fight but he rebounded and made very good account of himself against a fighter who was much physically stronger than him and plus Mosley was fighting out oh his natural weightclass.

It was the same way for Trinidad, who at age 26 had a 33-0 record with a brutal 29 knockouts. No opponent had taken him the distance in five years, but he needed to step up and beat a name-brand guy to become a pay-per-view attraction.

I thought Tito was already pay-per-view attraction even before Whitaker beating guys like Maurice Blocker, Oba Carr, Luis Ramon Campas.


Its just totally different stylistic match up Mosley is offensive fighter who uses blazing handspeed plus he has height and reach advantage of smaller Cotto something Whitaker didn't have against Tito.

Whitaker was amazing defensive fighter but as he got older he couldn't use his defense like he used to because his relexes slowed alot thats why he lost to Tito plus Tito had much bigger height and reach advantage.
