do you think his win would be more significant than any of mayweather's victories since he went up to 140? I would believe so. I would actually say that if Cotto beats Mosley, his resume at 140 and 147 will be better than Mayweather's resume from 140 and 147.
Anyone agree? Disagree?

It would definitly be bigger. Shane Mosley is a guy who beat DLH twice and if Cotto wins by knockout it would mean much much more than Mayweather winning a disputable decision over inactive DLH.

How can you say it wouldnt be bigger than Floyd beating Oscar? Number 1, it would be a much more impressive victory simply b/c it is a KO. Number 2, Mosley beat Oscar twice (although, i believe Oscar won the 2nd fight). Mayweather made it seem as if Oscar was the best fighter out there to cement his legacy when it clearly was not the case. The best left fighter was Mosley, not Oscar.

Let's be realistic though. Cotto is not gonna KO Mosley. If anything Cotto will go to sleep. He had way too much trouble with Zab to fuck wit the Sugar Man!

If Cotto KO's Mosley - it will definitely be bigger than the win Mayweather has over De La Hoya.
We're talking about him stopping a guy that's never been stopped and only down once. He would have did what no other boxer has done - something Oscar didn't even get close to doing.
Cotto winning by KO is something that's not going to happen - I see him getting stopped by Mosley. Too much power and speed.
And stop bad mouthing that man for not taking the fight with Floyd last year. After two fights with Vargas and dropping 7 pounds to try and fight the best boxer in the business - I wouldn't call that being prepared. Oscar took a whole year off before fighting Floyd. We've all seen what can happen when you go down in weight and take on a pretty good fighter - just as Roy Jones what happen to him for the Tarver fight - Taver vs. B-hop, or Allen Green vs. Miranda.

I diagree with your take on it mate! I think if Cotto does win by KO, then that's highly impressive. Shane has never been TKO/KO'd as a professional. If Cotto wins, it will be a good, solid win, over a top-class fighter. If it is by TKO/KO, then that will be a splendid result indeed.
I'm backing Cotto to win, but I think he'll do extrmely well to win by KO. Mosley is a smooth operator & will pose problems for Miguel.

Those flurries won him many rounds as Mayweather wasnt doing anything only waiting for Oscar to do something, (those flurries were not that bad, a lot was landing on Mayweathers body but of course Mayweather fans will say that nothing landed - wonder how Mayweather got a bloody nose hmmm). Oscar stopped throwing those flurries in the later rounds and Mayweather started throwing more (most were blocked). All in all it was a desputable, close and unimpressive Mayweather victory.

Yes a win is a win and he should get credit for this win no matter how ugly it was, however those who are saying he dominated or won easily are crossing the line. After the fight almost everybody who thought Mayweather won was in agreement that the fight was close, as time passes there are more and more who claim Floyd won easily.

It was no more impressive than another other UD win over Oscar. You may be one of the very very few whom after watching the fight several times actually consider the outcome "disputable" (and yes, i spelt it right). It was CLOSE, but not DISPUTABLE. You said it yourself, Oscar stopped throwing the flurries which STOLE round (not WON rounds) in the later rounds because he blew his wad trying to win the early rounds. He also stopped throwing the jab, either "it wasn't the night of the jab" or his opponent took away the jab. Notice the body jab to right-hand upstairs counter by Floyd early in the fight vs. later in the fight, it was timed off Oscar's jab. He negated Oscar's left-hook and jab better than anyone whose faced him. Hopkins, Trinidad, Mosely all ate more jabs and left hooks.

In the center of the ring Mayweather pressed the action. Look closely, Oscar only pressed action against the ropes. Mayweather led with left-hooks, right hands, and jabs to the pit of the gut in ring center.
Mayweather shoulder-rolled and circled when on the ropes, which was the only time Oscar truly pressed the action and let his hands go. And he wasn't effective when aggressive. Look at 5th round: Right hand counters off the ropes that yes, buckled Oscars legs.

Cotto be the better fighter than ko'ing Mosley would be a single bigger achievement than any Floyd Mayweather fight. It would be an all time achievement, that ranks with shockingly good wins, I'm thinking Hearns-Duran even.
Mosley has moved up 20 pounds, faced bigger, stronger and harder hitting guys and only been hurt one by a good Forrest punch, a man who is quite bigger. Mosley has a chin, heart, skills, stamina and this all makes him very durable. Any man who puts Mosley away would be amazing. If a C level fighter did it, I'd just think he was shot.

It was similar to Tarver Jones where Tarrver was active on the ropes but RJJ dominated in the center of the ring. Oscar lost later rounds due to fatigue but he won many of the early rounds and at the end I had it a draw, the commentators had an Oscar victory and the judges had a SD win for Floyd. The fans were also not unanimous in this regard. It was a close and disputable decision.

Mac, you say to make a topic that is at least realistic. Are you kidding?? You make it seem like Cotto punches like Paulie. You must be one of the many people that have been waiting for Cotto to lose ever since his fight against Corley. Cotto has brutally beaten every opponent he has KO'd. I'm not saying he will KO mosley. I'm just saying, it's possible. It's not as far fetched as you would say it is at this time in Mosley's career. A prime Mosley definitely doesnt get KO'd. But at this point, anything is possible. If there is anyone out there today that can KO mosley, I would say that Cotto is the only welterweight out there who has a chance to do so.
Again, you are out of your mind if you dont think that a KO over Mosley would be far superior to Floyd's decision over Oscar and perhaps more superior to any of Floyd's victories.

Cotto will prove how physically strong he is when he manhandles Mosley. I think he will do it and he will make Mosley feel his age and consider retirement when he gets blasted to his body. I personally think Cotto will grind out an UD.
I doubt Cotto KO's Mosley as he has never been KO'd. If he did...it would be damn impressive and his stock would skyrocket. I wish he could do it ...but I don't think he will be able to pull it off. If he did, it would be after punishing Mosley to the body. Cotto UD is much more likely.

In my opinion it would be bigger than any of Floyds wins 140 and above easily, he won against Oscar in the worst possible way (edging out a disputable decision in a lackluster fight....the only thing worse is losing by default. I think Cotto will dispatch SSM in the same fashion he did with Zab.

I thought by Mac you were refering to me. Yes Cotto has devastating power, his opponents look like this guy from the Goonies when Cotto is done with them. I wouldnt be surprised if he scores a late round TKO.

Well, isn't Mosely older than that "over-the-hill, part-time boxer and full-time promoter" who a lot people give Mayweather shit for winning a "questionable" SD over? :huh
has Mosley even signed to fight Cotto yet?
The details are still being worked out. Bob Arum also stated: “Fighters have to realize that there's just so much money that's available.”
I think it will get finalized sometime this week or next. It's the best fight for both of them at the moment.

Mac, you're right in that no one has yet to take it to Cotto with speed, power, precision, and heart all combined in one person. BUT, I will say that Cotto has dealt with each one individually. With Zab, he dealt with possibly the fastest opponent he will face with a decent, yet overrated punch. With Paulie and Zab, there was a good amount of speed, much more than Cotto. Paulie showed a great deal of heart. Cotto would have easily KO'd him had the ref not let Paulie hold so much. I suppose we will have to see how Cotto deals with someone with all those qualities in one. I still believe that Shane will age over night in the ring against the far too strong and aggressive Cotto. In Shanes prime, we may not be having this convo, but in my honest opinion, Cotto is a Duran reincarnate and Mosley's time is up. He will not be able to keep Cotto off of him.

Maciek4, I like the goonies analogy. People keep saying how slow Cotto is, but I say to them this....How in the world does a slow fighter destroy his opponents faces the way Cotto does. Afterall, if you're a slow fighter, aren't you suppose to find it difficult to find the heads of slick boxers. I would go as far as to say that I think of all the fighters I've ever seen, I have never seen more opponents faces brutally beaten than with Cotto. As a matter of fact. I'm going to start a thread on that. Perhaps Judah, Quintana, Branco, Paulie, Abdullev, and Carlos Maussa can help figure out what other fighters have done more face lifts than Cotto has.

It would definitely cement his status among boxing's elite and elevate him to the top half of the top 10 p4p ... While I think a KO on Mosley is unlikely, I never expected Cotto to dominate Zab like he did, so a KO on Mosley wouldn't be the most shocking thing I would see.

FLux, i dont think he is as good as a prime Duran, I'm saying he is closest thing to a Duran/Chavez type fighter to come along since their time. I suppose a comparison to Chavez may be a little better.
Now, I think Mosley is a great fighter. He is definitely a HOF in my book. One thing I will say is that at welterweight his strength/power is highly overrated. Like Mayweather, Mosley did most of his KO'ing in the lighter weights. Mosley has not had that power in WW. I know what you may be thinking....he killed Vargas. Yeah, i know that. But i also know that Vargas has been KO'd by every elite fighter he has fought.
Most people probably thought that Cotto was probably the hardest puncher at light welter or at least top 3. The scary part is that Cotto is far stronger now than he was then. He has more stamina, power, and strength. I truly believe that when Cotto comes forward against Mosley, he will push Mosley back b/c he will be far too strong for Mosley.
Like Franchise said, not too many people expected Cotto to completely dominate Zab, and he did. I understand that Zab was coming off of losses, etc...That doesnt take away from the fact that most people on ESB had him killing Cotto. Cotto still completely dominated him. Now people are doubting what he will do against Mosley. I'll tell you now that Cotto will prove every one wrong again as he has been doing for last 3 years. He is going to dominate an Old mosley. but mosley won't have anything to be ashamed of b/c he will have lost to an honorable, hungry fighter in Miguel Cotto. After Cotto beats Mosley, the doors will be wide open and perhaps people will finally believe he will be the one to beat Mayweather.

Where have I seen that before?
Mosley can land as often as Malignaggi but with the power of Zab.
Cotto is in trouble in this one. If Zab wasnt so worried about getting clipped on his china chin, Zab would have stopped him. Now we're talking about Mosley who will not have to fight worried about getting hit once.
He'll finish what others have started, but could not finish.

do you think his win would be more significant than any of mayweather's victories since he went up to 140? I would believe so. I would actually say that if Cotto beats Mosley, his resume at 140 and 147 will be better than Mayweather's resume from 140 and 147.
Anyone agree? Disagree?
Can phantom it cuz i wont happen :D :lol:

Cotto is in the ring with a SEASONED VET whos boxing skills are very very good...faster and possibly hit harder.....if cotto was to get wobbled or knocked down as in previous fights......he wont comeback....Mosley finishes he is smart...Cotto better guard that chin that gets checked an awful awful lot!

It would definitly be bigger. Shane Mosley is a guy who beat DLH twice and if Cotto wins by knockout it would mean much much more than Mayweather winning a disputable decision over inactive DLH.Ditto.

mosley has the skills, speed and power to give Cotto MAJOR fits, HOWEVER if the Sugar MAn elects to trade with the younger Cotto his sugar won't be so sweet. I don't know how long he can run from the "Bulldozer" in Cotto. I think its a war from start to finish. Mosley has a lot of pride and won't run. Cotto by late TKO.
