Mosley wants the winner of Cotto vs Margarito

Shane Mosley, who is a three division world champ states he’s really keen on fighting whoever wins the December 3rd fight of WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto ((36-1, 29 KO’s) and Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KO’s).

Mosley, 40, fought against both Cotto as well as Margarito before, defeating Margarito in a 9th round TKO last January 2009, and dropping the debatable 12 round unanimous decision against Cotto last November 2007.

“I would definitely like to fight the winner” [of Cotto vs. Margarito], Mosley said. “I beat Margarito, lost a close decision to Cotto. We can see what happens.”

Now you ask , whether or not the Cotto vs. Margarito winner would like to fight Mosley. The issue for Mosley is the fact that he hasn’t triumphed in a bout after defeating Margarito in 2009, and he has dropped 2 from his latest 3 fights. You may make an excellent case that Mosley really should have lost his final three fights since his 12 round draw versus Sergio Mora on September 2010 appeared a lot more like a defeat than a victory within the thoughts of numerous boxing enthusiasts.

Cotto probably won’t wish to accept a used up Mosley due to the critique he'd experience in media. Furthermore, his promoter Bob Arum most likely are not willing to set him along with Mosley since Arum has got different ideas for Cotto following the Margarito battle, like pitting him versus the WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on an in house Top Rank bout.

Right now there truly isn’t plenty of choices meant for Mosley from junior middleweight regrettably. Saul Alvarez, the WBC junior middleweight king, fights just for Golden Boy Promotions. Arum would possibly like to match up the better skilled Cotto with Alvarez right this moment before Alvarez will get much better and also Cotto any older.

Nevertheless, that’s not likely going to take place. Therefore, Mosley should be regarded as a good probability meant for Cotto. Regarding Margarito, he’d most likely get on the opportunity to attempt to avenge his defeat to Mosley from a couple of years back. It might grow to be an easy win for Margarito when Mosley fights a similar iced manner he does in the fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mora and also Manny Pacquiao during the past year.
