[Soda_Popinski]

dlh could ko cotto with his eyes closed!

[C.Y.]

i dont see this fight happening but if it does oscar will ko cotto

too many holes in cotto's defense oscar will exploit all of them

when he catches that ledt hook it will be all over

btw how is oscar washed up??

he looked good his last fight his problem was he ran into the better fighter and was outboxed

other than that oscar still looks good

i wonder how many cotto ****riders will jump off the bandwagon when they watch their hero get bodied

De la hoya has a better chance against cotto than he did with mayweather.

[SpeedKillz]

not a chance this fight is gonna happen. cotto has too many fights at WW to fight de la hoya. there is alot of fighters i would rather him fight than DLH, like the winner of marg / williams, cintron, hatton, mayweather????

if this fight goes down before cotto has had the chance to fight the top opps in WW, he gets dominated in embarassing fashion, DLH is older, but he is way way way smarter and stronger than cotto. i'm a huge cotto fan, but jus cuz he beat the **** out of zab judah, that means **** nowadays, i mean baldomir beat juda, so stay away from oscar for now cotto...by the time he's ready for oscar, oscar will be well retired

[Stickman]

10 months is ****ing ridiculous, and this is a ****** fighter. Oscars going to get his ass kicked

Oscar does best against come-forward fighters, so I doubt there'll be any "ass-kicking" taking place. I expect a brawl for 8 to 10 rounds, with both fighters taking the last couple of rounds off, except for spirited exchanges in the last 20 to 30 seconds of the rounds. Cotto's work rate and pressure might win him the decision, if he doesn't get caught by a hard left hook from Oscar and end up getting KO'd. It'll be a great fight, easily a FOY nominee. If Oscar were in his prime, I wouldn't give Cotto much of a chance, but he's older, a little slower, and doesn't go the full 12 without running out of gas.

[Don Johnson]

Satori Cotto has never lowblowed before the judah fight

and his dirty side came out conveniently for his biggest fight

[Don Johnson]

Mosley and DLH can still take punches well. The only thing I don't like about DLH is his gifted decisions.

[FightNight32]

I really hope this fight happens. I think The Golden Boy needs one more victory before he can retire his great and long career.

Where did this info come from? A rep from Top Rank all but laughed when he was asked about this. And De La Hoya has said time and time again that he is unable to make 147.
