Cotto-Mosley set for Nov. 10

This is a great match-up. In a way, I'd hate to see either guy lose. Cotto is good for boxing. I'd hate to see him KO'd. With Mosley's counter-punching ability and the way Cotto commits to his punches, that's possible.

On the other hand, Cotto is strong enough to break Mosley down with big body shots, etc.

Right now, I'd give Mosley a slight edge based upon experience.

I think this is a great fight. This is a huge test for Cotto but I say he'll win by late stoppage.

This is a fight that Mosley would've won handidly had he been a few years younger, but at age 36, i think the younger man will break him down.

I'm not sure ... Cotto is a tough out in any era

Very interesting match-up -

I'd agree that Mosley in his prime would likely be a bad match-up for Cotto.....But he's older now and I think that can only help Cotto -

I'll go with Cotto by close DEC (for now).

Though I do believe a prime Mosley likely beats Cotto based on styles....

I think a prime Mosley beats Cotto also but to say he would win handedly is what I disagree with.
