"Sugar" Shane Mosley VS Miguel "Junito" Cotto
Next Saturday, November 10th, "Sugar" Shane Mosley (44-4, 37 kos) and Miguel "Junito" Cotto (30-0, 25 kos) will face off at Madison Square Garden in a fight that has the potential for Fight of the Year honors. It is a classic fight between the boxer and the puncher, speed vs power, hand speed vs body punching, and a rising star vs a rare legitimate crossover star.
Shane Mosley has been one of the most visible boxing stars in the last 15 years. Two wins over Oscar De La Hoya have cememted his reputation as a superstar. After those two wins he was considered to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. But after losing twice to Vernon "The Viper" Forrest and losing twice to Ronald "Winky" Wright, Sugar didn't look too sweet. He has made a nice comeback by twice beating "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas after most experts in boxing had begun to write him off.
Miguel Cotto is a rising star in boxing on the real. The Caguas, Puerto Rico native is undefeated by his chin has been questionable in some fights. His body punching, however, is some of the most devestating since the days of Julio Ceasar Chavez. His last win, a brutalization of Zab "Super" Judah was very impressive. Cotto has always been able to solve any problems thrown his way.
