    I will be rooting for Mosley, buy only barely. I will enjoy the fight no matter who wins.

    It's funny with Cotto, every fight I always start out rooting for his opponent for the most part and then Cotto always wins me over. Then I think how much I like Cotto and what he brings to the ring, but by the time his next fight is up I'm always rooting for his opponent again.

    That could be because I usually push for the underdog, and it seems like whoever Cotto fights is the under dog.

    I view shane as the underdog in this fight, but not by much. Because of age and Cotto's pressure.

    I am looking forward to a great fight no matter who wins

    I think Mosley pulls off the last big win of his career and stops Cotto late. A Cotto win wouldn't bother me at all. Since I think he's an outstanding fighter. But I see Mosley taking the fight

    This fight will probably go the distance and in that case, I will pick Cotto, since he will most likely be the more active fighter who comes forward. Mosley has not been a destructive force in the ring at 147-154. Yes, he has a good chin, speed, is always in good shape, but his recent fights, with the exception of Vargas II, have not been overwhelming victories. Vargas I was very close, estrada made Shane uncomfortable at times, and even Collazo was able to land on Mosley. Mosley seems to win decisions, but not all that dominating. I also see him do a lot of holding and only Hatton holds more, in my opinion. Cotto has shown the ability to adapt, and does a good job of preventing his opponents from holding him. Still, Mosley seems to find a way to win, and he's crafty, and that's why I will give him the distance, but not the victory. Or, maybe I am biased because I like Cotto, but either way, that's how I see the fight (whether reality or in my dreams).

    I like both fighters, but Cotto is the future while SSM is winding down his career, plus I really, really want to see PBF-Cotto at some point. So I picked Cotto.
    I think SSM is going to win though - too fast, too experienced, and I'm willing to bet he hits harder than Zab, who shook Cotto in their fight. Plus SSM is a better finished than Zab.

    I like Cotto and I feel like most about his future...It will be one where he becomes one of top 10 unless some type of unforeseen occurance happens...With that being said....

    Mosley is an ATG IMO he is also the best boxer Cotto has faced with the speed and punch to go with it...37 out of 44 wins are by KO...I also think Cotto does not have the best chin and Mosley has all the ability to check it

    Cotto has had trouble with boxers in the past...Mosley is also looking for one high note to retire on...Mosley has only lost to excellent boxers...a prime forrest and Winky wright......

    IMO the combination of all things outlined will be too much for Cotto and he will lose by UD....after going down a couple of times in the process

    Having said that, I still think that Mosley wins this one a lot more convincingly than most people think it's gonna be.

    Mosley by UD, with an early round knockdown to boot.
    frozen can you clarify this one for me.
    Your saying Cotto but your also saying SSM.

    He's saying he wants Cotto to win but thinks Shane will.

    I'm saying that I would rather see Cotto win because of a potential match with Mayweather, but I think that Mosley is gonna pull it off.

    Its hard to think of another Bout That I am wanting And waiting to see.
    I really am earning alot of respect lately for Cotto as a Balls to the wall pressure fighter.Mosley is a Fighter that I Have "evolved" on and really went from Dislike to Now much respect.
    I like Mosley By Mid to late "Bust Up"TKo an a true test of courage and heart.I see Cotto early on as being kept off balance with Mosley working Constant angles and ripping body and rt.hands.Cotto WILL NOT concede ground and will employ buu-koo power and fast hands as well.
    Maybe its unfair but I cannot stop thinking of the early rnds In Cotto V. Judah.Judah side to side had Cotto Literally Lurching forward and in a Perilous situation.MOsley needs to maintain discipline and footwork here and RESPECT Cottos Recouping ability's.Do not sit down or load up EARLY.I think Handspeed in conjunction with shifty angles with short combos by Mosley will prevail.Cotto ,Imo will find himself reacting alot and I think He should concentrate specifically on Body Of Mosley and Hard hooks as Mosley Pivots .GREAT FIGHT.IM ready for re-match already

    I think if you just look at it from a neutral perspective Cotto winning would be clearly better for the sport. That and the fact that I'm becoming a Cotto fan I'm definitely going for Cotto. But Shane's not a guy that I usually root against, its just good for the younger guys to start to take over.

    Agreed, I don't think there's any doubt about that.

    I'd like Cotto to win, simply because I like his style both in and out of the ring. He seems modest out, and a real entertainer in when there with quality. Reminds me a lot of Ricky Hatton, except he appears to be a naturally bigger fighter. Want him to win, but result will depend on his abilty to get in close and turn Mosely.
