    It would have to be a temple shot to seriously hurt Cotto.

    I can just as easily see Shane winning the early rds off of faster/better exchanges only to have Cotto come on strong as Mosley wears down later. Still Shane gets the decision if he doesn't stop Cotto in 8.

    What if Shane just blows Cotto out in like 3rds, almost like what Margarito did to Cintron? How big of an overrated bum will everyone claim Cotto was?

    Another thing. How come whenever they do these "winner of this match" will face the "winner of that match" they never have the losers meet as the undercard match? :dunno:

    because two consequetive losses(unless your judah) will cripple if not kill your career, if its a top fighter, they dont want that, so they fight a bum to get their rep back up, unless its back to back losses to the champ, then it isnt as bad

    Just in case it works, Mosley better work on his "nut shot" defense.

    I disagree. I think it's because it's mainly like giving away a main event for free. Just think if the losers were to meet, Cotto vs Hatton would be a huge event that could be a PPV, all they have to do is build them both back up after their loss.

    if hatton loses two in a row, hes an overrated bum, who cant beat the top fighters, its the same for cotto. who are they goign to beat to build them back up? another bum, well we already know they can beat that bum (i dont agree with this, this is just how it goes)

    if hatton loses to mayweather, which he will, so what he lost to the best fighter in the world, there is no shame in that, he still can continue his career.

    no other top fighter, which there wont be any left unless u count paul williams will fight them, why would he fight a two time loser? there is no reward for that, ohh wow you beat some guy who lost 2 in a row, too much risk and no reward, he will wait for a fight with one of the winners, while two time loser fights random bum

    see how this plays out?

    No. I think you're reaching a bit to make your point. Take Judah for instance, he just lost 3 in a row and is right back in line.

    About 4 years too late.

    Klitschko fans get too excited over a LOSS to Lewis. I don't want to see how they'll react to Vitali beating Lewis, nevermind the fact that Lewis is 42 and hasn't fought in over 4 years.

    Mayorga is another name who could do the same thing. You can't say, "not including Judah" because the same thing applies to him as it does to Cotto and Hatton. At this point they're all names and just because they've logged loses they've done enough in their careers that people still want to see them in good matchups. As long as they give good accounts of themselves people will still want to see them and Judah is discounting even that theory by getting the Margarito fight.

    Since you say no Judah, how about Rocky Juarez? He's got 3 losses in a row and look at the fights he just landed. :dunno:

    good match ups vs being the man and making the decisions and most money, you dont think the losses hurt what they are able to make?

    What I don't like about this is that these two guys will fight each other while Fraud is allowed to pick the lesser of three evils in Hatton.

    Fraud is waiting for Mosely to get more ring worn and older (which he will in this fight) and he will retire permanently without ever facing Cotto.

    Cotto by UD!

    It will be an awesome fight. I just think i'ts Cotto's time. Shane has seen better days.

    Knocking out Vargas means as much as Oscar knocking out Mayorga before a bigger fight.

    Shane couldn't KO Estrada, Cruz, Collazo, yet he will ko Cotto? :laughing:

    not really. I can see Shane beating Cotto.

    I'm just laughing at the ones picking Shane by KO, that's a bold statement.

    Some people still think this is shane from year 2000 :nono:

    Isn't that what a lot of folks said before the Judah fight? "He won't let a wobbly Cotto of the hook like an awful, scared finisher Corley did. He will hurt Cotto and finish him".

    Cotto ain't easy to stop because even when hurt he's throwing some mean punches and he won't go away with 1, 2, 3, 4 punches. He'll have to take a beating before getting KO'ed.

    *Z* has been praying for Cotto to lose since the guy started his career, it's only normal that he's fantasizing on a KO by Mosley even though he didn't stop anyone at WW since approximately 2000.

    :nono: Other than the Collazo fight Mosley was not with his father during those other fights, nor was he powerboxing. The minute he got back with his father and back to powerboxing down went Vargas. Collazo might have been Ko'd too but he was borderline in survival mode.

    Exactly.

    Win or lose Mosley is in for a rough night, I'm not sure he can take it at 35 years old.

    yep...those are certainly 4 of the six best in the division. Even more fortunate for us is that the very best in the division will be displaying his sublime talents once again against his toughest opponent....before taking on Williams and Cotto/Mosley.
