Cotto (30-0, 25 KOs) eventually offers that he believes he's the best fighter in the world, but he says it in such a way that he almost sounds apologetic for delivering the opinion.  He's not the type of guy who is going to sell a ticket by talking, yet he drew 21,000 to Madison Square Garden in June to see his win over Zab Judah. And promoters expect to get close to that number again when he faces Mosley .

Miguel Cotto is not a shit talker like Floyd Mayweather Jr but it's a pretty good tradeoff. Cotto understands that a win over a high-profile opponent like Mosley can raise his profile immensely in the U.S., where he remains largely unknown outside of Hispanic-dominated areas.

Many fighters in such a situation would change their routine and try to perfect their preparation. But Cotto, who pays close attention to even the most minute details, is changing nothing. "Why change," he asks reasonably, "when everything is working the way it should work?"Cotto Said.

"I have to be at my best to beat Shane Mosley, because he is such a great fighter and a big man in this sport," Cotto said. "He has done what only a few could dream to do."

I personally think Shane Mosley is going to win, that’s my opinion, and I also think Tito Trinidad will be the best Puerto Rican boxer ever what’s your opinion?
