What would you do if, in his last fight, De La Hoya won?
Cotto would have depensed of; Margarito, Judah, Mosley, Malignaggi, Torres and Gomez and he gets beat by Oscar.
(I mention Gomez, Torres and Malignaggi, because Gomez did some decent things before the fight, and Torres and Malignaggi have donie some decent things after fighting Cotto, so they are/were clearly formidable opponents.)
Now, this would mean that De La Hoya in the twilight of his career beat a prime fighter with a very solid record. It would PROBABLY be a good fight, considering Cotto and De La Hoya do usually come to fight. He'd have gone out with a **** and would finally have the BIG win, to go along with an already incredible career.
What would change with Cotto losing to an ATLEAST slightly faded once-great? Would you look at him differently? Would that TRULY diminish his standing.
To nip the questions in the budd, it's a close but clear decision for De La Hoya.
