Mosely by unanimous decision....should be a action-packed, well-paced fight.

I think Mosely hits harder than Zab Judah and that Shane's power will be the difference if Mosely wins, not Shane's speed and boxing ability. If Cotto can take Shane's best shot, it will be long night for Shane because Mosley doesn't run as much as either Judah or Mayweather. Mosley is a lot like Meldrick Taylor, he will stand and slug in spurts. If Cotto's chin holds up, Cotto might out punch Mosley like Vernon Forrest did, but even though Mosley can box defensively, I don't think he will. For some reason I don't think Mosley is going to run like Mayweather did against DeLa Hoya or Leonard did against Hagler. Shane isn't young as he once was, and even when he was young he always showed the heart of a champion. Champions don't run, they stand their ground and fight.
This fight will define both fighters, and it can elevate Mosley back to the top most tier in boxing or propel Cotto there, Miguel is on the verge of superstardom, and Mosley is trying to regain that status. Either way the demand for the winner of this one to face Mayweather should Floyd beat Hatton will be huge. The payday for such a fight will be astronomical and this added incentive will make this the fight of the year. I anticipate a war, with Mosley exposing Cotto's questionable chin and KOing Miguel around the eight or ninth round. If Cotto's chin holds up, Shane won't win a decision even though I see Mosley as the better boxer and Cotto as the slugger. As strange as it may sound I think if it goes the distance, Cotto's pressure will win it and that Mosley has to KO Cotto to win.
I think Mosley will KO Cotto.

I think Mosley would win by UD. Overall he's just the better and quicker boxer. Cotto is a great fighter with a ton of heart and he is relentless, but he just gets hit too often. Also unlike Judah, Mosley will not gas out. It should be an action packed fight

i would love cotto to win so it can be a big show down between cotto and floyd mayweather. i think shane has the skills to beat cotto but hes to old. i think cotto will come out strong and give shane a hard time. but i think shane speed will eventually catch cotto sliping and he will be out for the count. mosely is no judah and this want be as easy.
