Whos the better boxer? Oscar or Cotto?

[ACHlLLES]

I love Cotto but Oscar is like a better version of him - better jab, better chin, better handspeed.

Cotto beat Mosley, something Oscar never could do. And Mosley looked and fought as if he was in his prime against Cotto

Oscar would be eating jabs all not long from cotto, while oscar tries to land his left hook and is completely shocked he can't land it. Sturm can beat Oscar but Cotto can't? Right!!!

oscar is bigger than cotto whereas sturm was bigger than oscar.

sturms defense is better than cotto's.

i don't know the exact figures but i'd figure felix's reach is much longer than cottos. maybe you can be a peach and look it up for me?

besides we're talking about prime oscar vs. cotto right?

the soft 160 lb. oscar that fought sturm was not in prime oscar.

cotto by far!!!better footwork,better variety of punches,faster..come on now cotto is far superior to oscar in technique

Mosley was never a really great boxer IMO. Great fighter, don't get me wrong but he always liked to fight and he was fast as fuck!. That's why Cotto was able to outbox him. Cotto is a better pure boxer than Mosley IMO, from what I've seen of Mosley anyway.

Come on, man. You're trying to compare the Shane Cotto fought to the one who fought Oscar in the first fight? Shane was still pretty good and competitive, but the 2000 version was a dynamo.

And anyway, the triangle theory isn't the most reliable, is it?

Cotto definitley has a better jab. His left jab is his best punch, but like most have said, they have similar styles. I actually tend to think Cotto is probably the better boxer, but if they both fought in their prime, I might favor Oscar.

You really think Cotto has the better jab?

ummm......speaking of shane......

i do hope people realize the big difference between the shane oscar fought at 147 and the shane cotto fought......

[Zack Morris]

Cotto easy. He's way more polished. Oscar fights like a stiff robot. Anyone who says otherwise don't know **** about boxing.

A prime Oscar had one of the best if not the best Jab in Boxing.
