Cotto/Dela Hoya fight is growing stronger

[xcaret]

weakest chin? If you take all the best shots from guys like Zab Judah and Shane Mosley i wouldnt consider your chin weak, nevermind weakest. Lets be realistic here. Oscar would have a great chance of knocking out Cotto but his chin still aint the weakest.

Look at the body shot that KOd De La Hoya from Bhop. That was a weak shot. Does De La Hoya have the weakest body?

I will say this, look at the Felix Sturm-De La Hoya fight, Sturm worked him with that jab. Cotto has a great/underrated jab and if he gets it going that can cause problems for Oscar. Cotto also throws viciously to the body. And Oscar has that killer left hook. This would be an interesting fight. But in my opinion, Cotto takes it.

Oscar wasn't KO'd, he was stopped... at a weight class he didnt even belong in the first place.... Dont even mention the sturm fight, look how fat Oscar looked, completely out of shape... Cotto does have a weak chin, (Torres, Corley,) fight.. ok not the "weakest" but hes been rocked, his heart kept him up but Oscar has a good chance of beating him by KO...

Sturm had a very good jab too. Cotto is not really a jabber of that sort. Cotto is not going to stand there and try to outjab Oscar.

He will shy of going to the body too I think..he drops those hands for one seconds Oscar shoots the left hook out..He missed Floyd for 36 minutes ...Cotto wont be that lucky.

Unlike the Mosely fight I cant vision how Cotto will attack Oscar.

This really isn't a pick'em fight. Think about it, when Shane picked it up in the second half of the fight Cotto out boxed him. He was very good at counter punching and avoiding damage. Shane might not have Oscar power but he is definately faster then Delahoya. I truely believe that Cotto will outbox the older all time great. It won't look easy like it did for Mayweather but I believe Cotto will get the nod if he doesn't get the KO with powerfull punches to the mid section. Its really to early to tell what Cotto will look like at 154, he could be even stronger and faster or slower and weaker. We won't know what Cotto will look like at 154 until he steps in the ring. Everyone questioned his move up to 147 until he arrived at that weight. Cotto was never a 1 punch KO artist but he has caused fighters severe damage in the ring from hitting them.

Although I think Cotto would Lose to Oscar @ 154

I would want Cotto to Win... because it's better for boxing if he wins...

Cotto= the futUre (like it or not)

I guess the problem I'm having is seeing what else there is for Oscar? Unless Tito beats Jones, setting up an Oscar/Tito rematch?

Oscar only wants a fight or 2 more, what else is a draw for him? He really wanted Hatton to win.

I don't think Cotto is an easy fight for him, simply because Cotto handled Mosley's speed and his chin at 147 has been plenty good.

Unlike the Mosely fight I cant vision how Cotto will attack Oscar.

exactly, if oscar really takes this fight like he fought against vargas,
he will win easily, be on his toes a lil bit and really use his jab,
dlh is straight

He just did (and successfully I might add) to Mosley.

Oscar knocks out Cotto in 6 rounds.

Thats a bold statement. If its at 154 then I guess anything's possible I'm not sure how Cotto's power will hold up at that weight. But Oscar is lookin a little washed up to me, if the same PBF turned up against Oscar that did against Hatton then I'm not sure we'd be havin this debate - Oscar looked reasonably good that night against a fairly poor PBF.
