    Since Mosley is involved in both, they'd most likely be good but from a pure action point of view, I think Cotto-Mosley would be better but I'd be more intrigued by Mosley-Mayweather. That's really one fight in which I wouldn't know who to pick. That's really a pick em IMO.

    obviously it's Mosley vs. Cotto. any fight involving PBF cannot be considered fan friendly. Let's face it.

    although, i can envision Mosley/Cotto turning into a stink-fest when Cotto refuses to fight on Mosley's terms.

    Personally I would rather see Mosley Floyd in the hope that Floyd gets beaten, but Mosley - Cotto would be the better fight for sure.

    So I would say Mosley - Cotto would be the more fan friendly fight, and better for boxing.

    Very good question actually. Logically, anyone who knows the game would say Mosley-Cotto..because they are both agressive fighters by nature.

    "However"

    Mayweather-Shane would be more intriguing because it's likely to go the distance, will not be boring and will have both action and tactical brilliance.

    Tough pick.

    I'll say Mosley-Cotto!!

    Mosley can beat Floyd..............he might actually force Floyd to fight a little bit and that would make it interesting. In a strange way, Mosley-Floyd has more in the line of fireworks than Mosley-Cotto.

    I'm torn myself.

    From an all-out action fight, I have to go with Mosley-Cotto. Mosley vs Mayweather would also be a good scrap with half the punches thrown.

    My vote would also go to Mosley vs Cotto because Cotto would make Shane fight hard for all 12 rounds. While I think Mosley has better skills, Cotto's unrelenting aggression would make him fight all 12 rounds. At age 35 or 36, I'm not sure if Mosley can do that now.

    Mosley's got one of the best chins in boxing, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the body shots from Cotto.

    "However"

    When Mosley stuns Cotto, he's got the strength and experience to finish Cotto off.

    Agreed.

    Part of me thinks that Shane will murder Cotto the first time he hurts him.

    We almost all have the same answer written differently :lol:. Except Double L, of course... How do you see Mosley-Cotto turning into a stink fest? Both are pretty agressive fighters and have rarely been involved in dull fights.

    A part of me thinks that if old, slow, roido vargas can actually push Mosley for 7 or 8 rounds then Cotto can do enuff to take a decision. Shane isn't beyond being hurt himself.:nono:

    there was a time when cotto's forward aggression would have been taylor made for shane but with age & ring wars, shane has slowed just enough where this fight could be a classic. right now, phonetap would prefer to see mosley/cotto with the winner fighting mayweather...

    like the time u said Floyd would beat Hagler at 160, only to take it back when everyone trashed you for saying that.

    obviously Cotto/Mosley is the more fan friendly fight, this is not debateable

    yes because Shane is a wonderful finisher, especially with his grand total of 2 KO in 6+ years, both coming againt fernando "KO'd by every elite fighter I ever faced" vargas

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    The only way to bust a running Fraud Mayweather down, is for his opponent to put the law into his own hands and nail that open spine and kidney area when he starts that "shoulder roll" shit. Now although Shane can get to that target quicker, I think he'll play by the rules instead of fighting fire with fire and allow Fraud to take advantage of his good nature,....:crafty: Cotto on the other hand, is an instinctually dirty, dirty, bastard, and he'll crack it without hesitation :lol: , he's done it before,...:dunno: so I don't know, I just wish Mosely had Cotto's lack of ethics in this particular fight because it's neccesary.

    Name a fighter, Floyd says he's not fighting him because the guy isn't worthy.

    Besides, Floyd's retired. I should have started a thread about him anyway.

    I mixed you with LOK, he's always saying everybody will torch cotto, or sodomize him. My bad. BTW, when you want to tell someone "you're an idiot", at least make it without typo, because it makes you look like the idiot.
