Cotto didn't start gassing til after the Margarito fight, and I think he would simply out box DLH to a decision just like he did with Mosley. Sure, DLH was taller but so was Marg's and the reach didn't really even matter during that fight. But as Oscar admitted to Larry Merchant, he said boxing bothers him and Cotto would simply mix that in with his attack as he did vs Mosley.

Outbox?? Seriously?? lol

Oscar isn't Shane Mosley where he can be outboxed by someone like Cotto.

Do you watch boxing?

Oscar is a better boxer than Cotto, no argument there. Couple that with Oscar natural size, reach and length advantage I don't see Cotto winning this fight.


DLH by late round KO or UD.

I think people who feel Cotto would beat Oscar down somehow have forgot DLH's formidable punching power. That Oscar cleared Mayorga he would undoubtedly hurt Cotto if he got hands on him. I got DLH in this matchup at 154. UD

Here's where your messing up... Margarito is not on the same level as DLH not even comparable. If Margarito fought the guys DLH fought in his career he would be a Journeyman by now.
