prime cotto versus prime oscar at 147

He owned him by running for his life? Why did his corner after the 10th told Oscar "not another round like that OK, Oscar" It doesn't sound like they thought they were owning Tito. And, what did Oscar do in the next round? Gave them another round like that. What did Oscar say after? Something about that Tito hit too hard and he was starting to feel the pressure or something to that effect so he decided to get in his bike. It doesn't sound like Oscar felt like he was owning Trinidad.
Matter of fact define "owning" for me? Hopkins owned the **** out of Tito, Pac owned the **** out of Oscar, that is owning...If Oscar owned Tito then fine but then also Whitaker, Ike, Sturm, Mosley, Hopkins, Floyd, owned Oscar.
And, the Oscar-Tito fight had nothing to do with my comment. My comment was base on that Oscar couldn't KO a prime top fighter at 147 or above. I guess it went over your head.
And, why would I give yo hate for stating your opinion?
However, Oscar did stop Gatti, Kamau, Chavez, Carr, Coley etc and got about as close as anyone has to stopping guys like Camacho, Ike etc.
Cotto isn't hard to hurt and knock out for someone like Oscar who would hit him hard and often and late in the fight when he's fragile. Cotto isn't tough like those bastards.Comment

I think he'd get the KO too. Cotto is not a prime 147 guy like the ones that Oscar was fighting. Nothing like them in fact.
He's too easy to hit and Oscar would set that left hook up later in the fight with perfection on a Cotto wearing down and then finish him with a flurry against the ropes with ref jumping in.
Cotto just doesn't have the **** to beat someone of Oscar's talent.Comment

Oscar is so overrated its amazing, the guy lost all and I mean ALL of his big fights. Not to mention if we are talking jabs the first thing I think of is boxing and Cotto is simply a better BOXER than Oscar is. Oscar never outboxed anyone except for Tito and I think Margarito could outbox Tito. Oscar would have to pressure Cotto, but Oscar has horrific ring generalship, Oscar at heart is still a Mexican type fighter in that he comes forward but doesn't cut off the ring well or have great footwork. I'll take Cotto, in a great very close fight as most of Oscars loses were.Comment

Yeah, but it's a different caliber we're talking about here. The guys that Oscar couldn't stop were almost unstoppable. Whitaker, Tito @ 147, Mosley, Ike and Camacho. No one has been able to get close to knocking any of them out at 147.
However, Oscar did stop Gatti, Kamau, Chavez, Carr, Coley etc and got about as close as anyone has to stopping guys like Camacho, Ike etc.
Cotto isn't hard to hurt and knock out for someone like Oscar who would hit him hard and often and late in the fight when he's fragile. Cotto isn't tough like those bastards.
The best guy he KO'd at 147 was Oba Carr.
Cotto is also a different caliber than those fighters.Comment
