Cotto/Dela Hoya fight is growing stronger

[nmuburner22]

i really can't watch the replay just because of joe cortez (that *****);
he should be banned, pbf got clocked on round 1 and almost went down,
but the ref played a big role in helping floyd win, i wonder if he get paid under the table to do that by pbf...hmmmmm

I got Cotto,Oscars stamina problem at any weight wont do well against Cotto,Cotto will be ****ing Oscars body all night he'll get tired quicker then he normaly does,i think Cotto could win by a KO to the body,i dont see him losing,i just dont think Oscar can cope with the pace Cotto sets at this age

[Undefeated]

People see it as "Oscar catches Cotto its night night for him"

What if Cotto lands a left hook? Or to the body also?

Its a fight guys. Everyone has a chance.

I'd say it would be a great fight, giving De La Hoya the upperhand cause I see him landing some hooks. The fight won't happen though. I don't think Cotto will move up to 154.. If he does.. Then good luck.

Oscar ain't KO'ing Cotto with those wiiiiiiiide, amateur punches he was throwing against Maywetaher. Cotto would hurt him badly to the body.

and cotto doesnt throw wiiiiiide punches either?

[mikec]

first off, Cotto has the weakest chin... And Oscars left hook is still there...

Oscar is about to retire, he will prolly give it his best to go out with a win and call it a career..

HAHA so i guess judah hits like a girl and mosley too if cotto has the weakest chin...THere is nothing better then a boxing fan who says the ******est ****.. If DLH got bodied by Bhop at 160lbs 4 years ago who is he gonna fair against a prime mauler like cotto at 147 lbs in his 30's?

And Cotto has faster hands and better movement then DLH.

he only afvantage Cotto has over Oscar is stamina...and even Cotto faded late against Shane so thats not saying much.

Oscar To Meet Cotto?

"A few months ago Oscar Dela Hoya talked about the possibility of fighting undefeated rising Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto. He initially shunned the odds, saying that his wife, Puerto Rican Princess Millie, made him promise that he wouldn't fight a Puerto Rican. He later rebuffed by stating that he makes the business decisions.
It appears that he has.....Or atleast it seems that way.

For a while his sights were blindly set on Ricky Hatton, but after Hatton's loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., that spotlight shifted to the other name in the hat. Although there has been no official confirmation, it appears the possibility of a Cotto/Dela Hoya fight is growing stronger.

Some may ask why? Few could actually answer. But there's two basis in which I think solidifies this possibility in a very legible way.

Mosley Defeated Oscar. Mosley lost to Cotto. Floyd Mayweather Jr. - (until officially retired and forced to relinquish his straps) - stands atop the welterweight mountain. Next man in charge is Cotto. If Dela Hoya defeats Cotto, he effectively removes Cotto from the equation.

To his own admission, his fight with Floyd seemed more like a "sparring session", and few could disagree. If he defeats Cotto, he removes the number one challenger, and reestablishes the buzz to make a final mega fight/payday with Floyd, bigger than the last. Why bigger? Because he'll be smart enough to employ and actually pay Floyd Sr. this time, which will really get the 24/7 episodes buzzing.

In his prime, Oscar may no longer be, but a brilliant businessman, don't ever deny him that title. Cotto has been spoiled, bringing fighters to his 'home-away-from-home', (Madison Square Garden), on the eve of his lands famed NYC parade, but since when - recently - has Oscar taken a fight without 'loading' his deck?

Cotto's the Champ, but Oscar's still the bigger draw. I wouldn't be surprised to see this one land at a Vegas venue on the weekend of Cinco De Mayo. So much for the Cotto comfort zone.

When that's all over, if some how Oscar's blessed enough to prevail, look for the feuding Mayweather's to make the most entertaining 24/7 piece ever, because that's gonna be one helluva fight buzz and lead-up to another blockbuster event. Unfortunately one that has already delivered results".

i like most of your points but here are a couple you may have missed.

1) who cares about seeing floyd beat oscar again? it was boring the first time and that won't change. and this is no dis to floyd he is a jr welter fighting a middle and he gets BIG PROPS for that. it is also a fight oscar now knows he can't win and oscar won't give rematches he knows he can't win.

2) i don't see cotto / odh happening because oscar won't take this kind of a challenge. this would be a certain ass kicking for oscar, alla sturm style..
