    Mosley had Vargas, Mayorga, Collazo, Margarito, Cotto.

    Cotto had Urkal, Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Clottey ... it really isn't that much more impressive.
    Hi Taeth , IMO the important here is that they all that you been mentioning was a Great Champions.................
    I'm not sure what you are trying to say there, but both Mosley and Cotto have had great competition of late, I don't see the point in trying to compare who has foughten whom because they both have foughten top notch guys lately, and both have for the majority looked good against that tough opposition. I just thought Cotto would use his superior power to make a large impression against CLottey, but his defense wasn't as good as I thought it would be, and I honestly think if Clottey had thrown more he would have won, but it just doesn't make sense to me because when COtto backed up him up, Miguel was so effective, like when he fought Mosely, but once again he doesn't fold mentally, but he gives up on pressure when he can't put a guy away, and I don't understand it. Cotto is so effective when he stands his ground, and he doesn't quite have the defensive skills or mobility to move properly against elite pressure fighters.

    I really agree in this , what you been saying , but that kind of cut couldnt let him to take the risk to stand his ground , certainly i thought that when he began , he would going fight with that strategy , but had to change to another plan with lateral movement , but i agree in someway , he needs to improve little more his defensive with that kind of fighters..........

    I was one of those people that expected Cotto to win but in a better scenario. First of all, this opponent hurt him with a head butt and he fought on. I expected Cotto to box circles around him but he bled profusely and Clottey, I take nothing away from him made it an ugly fight and he was physical. Cotto landed the more telling punches and stole a round with a left hook. In the mythical P4P which doesn't mean a thing, you have a fighter that came back from a terrible defeat, possibly because of those illegally wrapped hands. He swallowed the blood and hung in there because when adversity strikes, the best or the worst comes out of you and guess what, I am a Mosley fan and Mosley started at a lower weight to get championships in higher divisions facing bigger men than him had the misfortune of meeting a fighter with a will to win just like him. I take away credit from neither of these warriors.
