Shane Mosley hasn't looked that good in recent fights either IMO, yes he did beat Antonio Margarito impressively. But how good is Antonio Margarito really ? without loaded gloves ?
Because he didn't have the same thudding punches in the Shane Mosley fight, as soon as he didn't have loaded gloves.

He stopped Ricardo Mayorga but whats that saying really ? Ricardo Mayorga is one of the most one dimensional/sloppy fighters in current boxing, and his chin isn't even as solid as it used to be. And he isn't as good as he once was.
Plus Shane Mosley also struggled against Ricardo Mayorga, and ODLH beat a better version of Ricardo Mayorga in 6 rounds instead of 12 rounds. And without struggling at all either.
Luis Collazo broke his hand which changed the fight totally IMO, had it not been for that incident. I believe the fight would of been alot closer.
As i said about Antonio Margarito already he has no skills, and he relied on loaded gloves to wear opponents down. Because of his limited skills, how good is he really without loaded gloves ?
And after watching the fight a few more times, i thought Miguel Cotto beat Shane Mosley clearly. It was close points wise but Miguel Cotto won his rounds more clearly.
He controlled the fight with his solid left jab, and Shane Mosley only made a comeback late on because Miguel Cotto. Cruised in the later rounds because he knew he had the fight won.
I don't really see Shane Mosley doing much better, Shane Mosley isn't that good at adjusting IMO. And the left jab of Miguel Cotto will give him fits again like it did the 1st time.

Well at 28 Cotto already fought the very best welterweights out there outside of the GIGANTIC Paul Williams who like Margarito has no business squeezing their bodyframes in a weight class too small for them.
Cotto clearly beat Mosely, stopped by the CHEAT'O which IMO is NOW shady and won a close battle against a great WW himself in Clottey. Even PBF did not attempt getting anywhere near those guys.
COTTO YOU ARE A WARRIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the wars he's been in have already caught up with Cotto. I think Arum will give him a big payday against Pacman next now that the Mayweather fight is delayed and that Manny wins. After that Cotto has another Michael Jennings-type fight and then gets another big payday with a Margarito rematch, or at least the biggest payday available at that point in his career. After that he should retire.
All I can say is, Clottey did soften Cotto some more... There's even speculations that PBF postponed his JMM fight and now will go after the soften Cotto after Arum lambasted PBF by saying PBF doesn't fight bigger guys...
