    Cotto is not the most technically sound in the present, the honor belongs to a tie between Pretty Boy Floyd and Hopkins. But Cotto isn't far behind, and he looks only to improve.

      hopkins is on another level then any fighter near 160... he knocked out delahoya with a body shot.. delahoya fought a roided up shane mosley who could bench 365 and dead lift 500 and i think oscur won the second fight....he fought a roided vargas and knocked him out he beat tito too in my book....i think he should get in great shape and go down to 147 and dominate oscar that is

        i think cotto will have problems with guys that are strong and can come in from the right side good like S. mitchelle...but besides that i can see him beating alot of other fighter

        You CAN do it, but it doesn't mean its right. Is it fair to Joey Gamache that he signed to fight a jr Welterweight and ended up fighinging a Supper Middleweight?

            No way he is more sound than guys like Bernard Hopkins or James Toney. Those guys have proven there skills and techniques over years and against legit world class competion.

            Exactly.

            I'm high on Miguel, but dammit I want to see him go into second and third gear!!

            Fighting a disciplined, controlled fight is great but there's gonna be a time where Miguel is going to have to FIGHT.

            Toney and Hopkins are far better examples.
