An 07 Delahoya off of his domination of Mayorga at 154 not weight drained to 147. He still had a good jab decent power and good endurance against '12 Cotto. '12 Cotto good power no more stamina issues coming off of his revenge against Margarito and with Diaz who has breathed new life into Cottos performances. Cottos chin isnt as good delahoyas hes hungrier. Who do you like in this fight.
That version of De La Hoya KO's Cotto no doubt!!!!!
A thousand times this. This is just another Oscar/troll/bait thread. Cotto isn't on Oscar's level period.
And that Oscar was well beyond his prime anyway. So was Cotto the other day.
Too often people post with emotion. Just because the Cotto/Floyd fight was more exciting, doesn't mean it was a closer fight. Because it wasn't and many of us still believe Oscar is still the closest to and arguably the only one who beat Floyd.
Would have been a helluva fight...I see Cotto trying to outbox ODLH and Oscar trying to impose his size and strength...DLH had trouble with guys that were smaller than him and a lil faster, at this point I'd say speed was even but Oscar has some real power at 154 and has some pretty good kayos there so he has the edge in power....both kinda slowed down as the fight wore on....I see it starting off a lil slow, then it heats up around the middle rounds...I voted for ODLH by decision but this is a 50/50 fight....I just see DLH taking his opponents shots a little better than that making the difference in a close fight....Cotto would be in it the whole way through
I could see DLH winning this one but he would play it safe. I think he could outpoint Cotto but I don't see a KO for either guy. I can see Oscar having a lot of success with his jab and that could be the main factor.
This is where things get kind of twisted for certain intelligences. Despite how things looked for each guy against Mayweather I would favor (even that version of) De La Hoya over Cotto. Oscar was always going to be too big and hard hitting for Cotto. The version of De La Hoya that lost a well contested fight against Mayweather beats the Cotto we saw the other night with little doubt.
cotto past prime as well today. i never said delahoya was at his best idiot/ the thread is pretty simple 07 hoya vs 12 cotto
Whoa! Calm your ass down, I wasn't saying YOU. I mean anyone in general that can't see the difference. Geez, easy on the emotional outburst! Need a hug?
Oscar was done by 2004. After B-hop he was just not the same, he didn't have any legs, his body looked old, his defense was full of holes. He was done.
You want the real Oscar, watch every fight up to his fight with B-hop. If you can't tell the difference just log off and join a women forum.

Oscar probably beats Cotto on any night that isn't the Forbes or Pac night... But to give Cotto the benefit of the doubt, I'll say Oscar pre hop puts a hurting on Cotto, but it's a toss up after post hop as mentioned above.
