Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"

[Kel]

Cotto has the skill to 'slightly' outbox Shane. I would bet on Cotto to do the same job again in another close fight regardless of the venue.

[Jesse James]

I think shane knocks Cotto out in a rematch. I think he'll be much more motivated, and after what he just did to Tony, and seeing what Tony did to Cotto, he KNOWS he can knock him out. He's got Naazim now too.

[Violent Demise]

if this fight is done at Staples Center it will be sold out again, too many fights are done in vegas bring this to LA they love boxing there.

and I hope the Mexicans boo Cotto.

Cotto is highly respected by Mexicans cuz he's a warrior. But you wouldn't know shiit about that. Cuz you ain't Mexican.

I think Shane has always been a little limited by his dad being his trainer. He gets him in shape, but not a good fight planner. Shane is equal to or better in all areas than Cotto. The last fight wasn't about Cotto's boxing ability being better, it was a better game plan.

Shane tried to brawl and Cotto boxed. I think the fight could have gone either way. I think now that Shane is spending more time with Bhop and his crew he is learning how to tip the scales in your favor, or avoid playing to your opponents strengths. New York is hometown advantage.

I think Shane will fight VERY different than the first fight. He will fight smart and he has all the tools to beat Cotto. I think Shane wins a very entertaining and close fight that goes the distance and sets up a trilogy.

Well said. I must have been watching a different fight than most people...because i had that fight AT LEAST a draw or even a slight win for Shane. Sure, Cotto was effectively using his jab. But Shane never went away...and Cotto was running for the last rounds against the older fighter. It will also come down to how Cotto will respond mentally after his defeat to Tony. Shane seems to have gained a second wind...but i need to see how Cotto responds after his last defeat. Should be a great fight!

The uppercut was also working when Cotto threw it.

....either way Floyd Mayweather isn't the GREATEST until he fights both those guys

He isn't the greatest even if he does beat these two. Not even of this generation.

It just pisses me off when people act like Mayweather is untouchable when it's not that he hasn't beaten the best of his divisions HE HASN'T EVEN FOUGHT THEM!!!!!

What's wrong with boxing? Floyd "Money May" Mayweather's unwillingness to fight the best out there THAT'S WHAT! He's in his prime, he's supposed to be taking on the best and most dangerous opponents RIGHT NOW but he waits and tries to make light of their performances or use their losing to other fighters not to fight them. It's absolutely ridiculous! Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto....they take chances, they push themselves to be the best and want to prove it to the fans and that is why everyone likes them.

Let's say PBF got stopped by Margarito and then found out about the illegal handwraps.....I can bet you he wouldn't have been as quiet as Cotto has been

I guess Floyd will come back just looking for the biggest pay day possible, and that will be with Pacman, if he beats Hatton, or he might fight Hatton (if he wins). I don't think he will have any intentions to fight Mosley, Floyd will always find an excuse for not doing it.

Excellent post, with 100% on the money points.

[Puerto Rican Punch]

A rematch will be great but if Mosley if not willing to fight in June at New York, then we may need to wait a little longer. I don't think that Arum will just let go the opportunity of getting the money of a big Puertorrican crowd during the parade.

[TitoFan]

Hey PRP what's up? Cotto-Mosley II sounds good, huh?

[Puerto Rican Punch]

Hey my friend!! It will be a great fight and promess to be very closed. We will need a lot of beer to calm the nerves

[TitoFan]

I think it should be a great rematch. Mosley showed against Margarito that he's still got it. People who said that Cotto had beaten an over-the-hill Mosley must be pretty quiet right about now. Regarding Cotto, if he's mentally over his beating at the hands of Margarito, which we'll see next week... he should be ready to reassume his place atop the division.
