Cotto vs Mosley @ the Garden in November...

[superheavyrhun]

Thank god you're back wacko...where would we be without your sense of the comparison:

He aint built to buckle like a belt or get pressed like some cheap set of slacks...Mosley is a toe to toe slugger & generally outworks everyone that he faces if they are either near his size or just below it.

Honestly I think a lot of people are overratting Cotto's abilities & skills.

Don't get me wrong...I love Cotto & I would be one of the people who are overratting Cotto's abilities & skills...but this is Mosley were'e talkin about.

Cotto will have the fight of his life against Mosley. There were several scares against Judah, & IWO, Mosley is much more accurate & just as fast.

Someone stated that Judah was the fastest...I totally disagree.

Spot on! Even at his age...Shane is one of the best conditioned athletes in the sport. And as you mentioned he loves to go toe to toe. I don't see how people can think Cotto's chin is underrated...he has been stunned/knocked down by less skilled and speedy punchers than Shane. Shane is fast and accurate and Cotto's defense ain't great. Sure, Shane isn't a knockout machine like he was at the lower weights...but he still can pack a whallop. For a relatively easy to hit target...that is still plenty dangerous. I also like Cotto as a fighter...he has great heart and attitude. Cotto's age and hunger will make this a great challenge for Shane. But unless Shane grows old and tired in this fight...his speed, skill, and experience will be too much for Cotto. Should be a great fight.
