      I would definitely agree with Arum that Cotto is becoming a complete fighter. I must say I was very impressed with his boxing ability against Mosley especially in regards to his stiff and powerful jab.

      On the subject of DLH....that dude is ****ing everything up in the welterweight division. It really upsets me that since he's a big name in boxing, he can just strong arm his way into these huge fights making other fighters who are more deserving of shots with the big names wait in line. Ricky Hatton is doing this too but as long as he stays at 147 from now on, I suppose I won't have as big of an issue with him mixing it up in this division.

        Cotto/Mayweather/De la Hoya

        Cotto has impressed me with his progression also, but the fact remains he take too many flush shots.. Shane did not have the punching power, but Oscar really might be able to drop him.. Mayweather would utilize speed, he ain't standing there to be dropped by anyone... Miguel would have a tough time with either of those guys.. Oscar is not quite washed up yet.

          I can tell you this everyone in the division including Mayweather wants to fight De La Hoya - because of the bigger payday.

            Don't get me wrong I don't like DLH, but he didn't get destroyed.
            u might be right he may not get destroyed by cotto but the thing is his body is trashed from hopping divisions all the time that cotto would eventually break his body down and im almost willing to guarantee that he could knock oscar out i mean look bernard did it with a left to the body, whats cottos greatest punch??? thats right a left to the body, and another thing i dont even see where oscar has the right coming into the mix destroying great fights for everyone else, i mean he's lost to mayweather, he's lost to sugar shane twice so where does he have the right to come in the division and just **** with one of the two top guys, im sorry but he does'nt deserve a shot why dont they just let him fight margarito??

              cause Margarito will tear that ass up. Arum has said he was looking to match up Marg wit Cotto, but after Arum see Marg let loose he had second thoughts. Why would Arum want his potential cash cow (cotto) to get beat by MArg when all that money is out there for Cotto.

                  i doubt that margo would beat cotto. cotto is a better boxer and just as good a brawler but does not land 1 shot KO's like Margo. but how good margo is coming along is yet to be seen... i mean he whooped Golden Johnson's ass. so ****ing what!? i can whoop golden johnson's ass> he has proved nothing by beating golden johnson so quick who had 8 losses and 5 coming by KO
