Oscar had an ATG level jab. Cotto had a good jab. Oscar had a good right hand. Cottos is average on his best day.
Mayweather was barely a welterweight when he fought Oscar at 154. Hes a muscular beast now.
Comparing the 2 is nonsensical. Might as well compare Chaf Dawson and Andre Dirrell because their both southpaws lol.

Too much is emphasized on the old reach/wingspan measurement. I like HBO's more accurate arm length measurement. As for the arm length of each fighter, Mayweather has a 26 inch arm length and Cotto's arm measures 23.5 inches. So Mayweather has a 2.5 inch reach advantage.
