Cotto/Dela Hoya fight is growing stronger

[Gato2012]

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..

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.

[MELLY-MEL...]

i would not be so quick to rule cotto out, but i will tell you that i think odlh will be his toughest fight to date!

the "entertainer" decisions them and COTTO stops them. I dont see the pattern ending anytime soon,

Ahem you didn't say you wouldn't mention him by name yo usaid you wouldn't mention him AT ALL.

Alot, ALOT, of users are picking Oscar to win but don't give Floyd credit for beating him? Where is the irony in that? That being said this fight won't be at 154 I believe because of the title Cotto has. If it is about 147 Cotto can still keep his belt so I don't think he would mind that option.

well floyd didn't win, oscar lost.....there is a big difference

cotto/mosley=mosley lost
cotto/judah=cotto won

mayweather/hatton=mayweather won
mayweather/dlh= dlh lost
get the drift

This fight shouldn't go ahead! De La Hoya at his "Peak' was a great, great fighter in every sense of the word! As evidenced against Floyd he was past his peak and I reckon he would have given Floyd his hardest ever fight if Oscar was at his peak. Cotto should face Floyd which is what all the fans want to see, Arum's ramblings aside.

yeah i honestly dont think cotto could trade with oscar... and hed try too... bad mistake

I didn't see Cotto try to trade with Mosley...

He outboxed him.

I don't see why he wouldn't do the same with the bigger guy in De La Hoya.

I think Cotto beats De La Hoya, but this time, I don't think he KO's one of the entertainer's past decision victims.

I don't din't think that is the fight I saw. The first 6 maybe 7 rounds I definately saw Cotto trade with Shane and trying to keep the fight toe to toe. It was Shane who was trying to stay outside and stayed otside. After Cotto figured out he wasn't going to get Shane in a war he decided to prove he could out box him to, and did just that.

I don't think any of us are going to be lucky enough to see Cotto/ODH but if he does happen, unless ODH back pedals the whole fight, he's gets KO'D.

Depends what weight this fight will happen at. At 154 DLH by TKO, at 147 Cotto by decision.

I think Cotto might pull this one off. He has better stamina, faster, and argueably more strong.

Cotto's a sucker for a right hand, which is why I think Floyd would beat him, but Oscar doesn't have that big of a right. He also tires easy.

I'm probably gonna go with Cotto.
