They are at least as strong as Cotto (even though Mosley is a bigger puncher IMO). People tend to forget that Cotto wears his opponents down instead of taking them out with one shot. Gomez got stopped by the doctor. I like it as a fan because that means you can be stronger, faster and have a better chin than Cotto and he's still gonna beat you.

Being "stronger" has nothing to do with punching power. Strength is completely different than power. I don't understand that.

You mean he's "big strength wise?" That makes no sense. "Big" is a descriptive word about appearance.

As I said before it doesn't mean anything because Cotto is a great fighter but his "brute force" is a myth created by HBO. He wears guys down plain and simple.

Half of Mosley's opponents didn't see the KO punches coming. IMO Cotto and Mosley punch just about the same these days.
