How do you mean, more effective... He was perhaps more effective against that fossil that used to be Vargas, than Mosley was against Cotto... But there's no comparison between the two opponents at this point. Mosley also KO'ed Vargas twice before Ricardo beat him on points, and he had a lot more vitality against Mosley. Going by how each fighter LOOKED in their last fight, Mosley puts him in the hospital, easy. Mayorga looked like shit against Vargas, all blown up and rusty. Vargas was just that spent. Mayorga actually outboxed him at 162. I mean come on, you can't really put any stock in that. I hope Mosley fights someone dangerous at WW, he's still a top fighter. I think he'd whip Cintron, Margarito, Clottey, and I'd give him a chance against Williams too. I think he actually did well enough to deserve a rematch with Cotto.. Certainly would be a better fight than Gomez... But I do understand why Arum is giving Cotto a less physical fight.
