Who's the harder puncher: ORTIZ or COTTO

Ortiz. Cotto is better at pretty much everything else, tough.

 

Cotto

 

Ortiz by a wide Margin...

But Cotto is more accurate...

 

They're different kind of punchers.

 

This for me.

It depends on what punch specifically were talking here.

I doubt Ortiz' best once shot body work is better than Cotto's.

 

ortiz hands down

 

I think Ortiz is one hell of an explosive puncher at Welterweight, hard to believe he was hitting 140 pounders about only a few fights ago.

 

Ortiz but he fails to use his power alot of the time.

 

Despite the myth that Cotto is a massive puncher, he never had one punch KO power, majority of his ko's were result of accumulation, Ortiz on the other hand has one punch, fight changing power

 

Cotto used to be the hardest body puncher in the game along with Margo but he felt those overhand rights from Shane and he surely felt those swinging punches from Pacquiao and uppercuts from Margo so it's difficult to say if he is the biggest puncher, specially when everybody relies on power to make an early impression and keep opponents under control nowadays, Canelo, Bradley, Khan, everybody. But in terms of strength, i don't think that at this point Cotto is stronger than that guy with that upper body that we saw in Ortiz at 147. Sure, Cotto is 154 and Mayweather 151, expect Miguel to grow overnight to 160 plus while Floyd will remain under 155... But Cotto cannot have Floyd leaning back against the ropes and taking sloppy punches like Ortiz delivered sometimes cause he doesn't have the mindset to finish Floyd right there and then... He knows he'll probably be uneffective and punch himself out... This is the greatest improvement of a pure body snatcher to a boxer-puncher who can move and jab and keep it up. It's not so important that he is or is not the hardest puncher rather than Ortiz cause they are not hitting a heavy bag but Cotto is surely much better and has better chances at this weight than Ortiz had at 147.

 

easily Ortiz. He has enough speed to create that explosiveness. Cotto(e) on the other hand isn't explosive at all.

 

Ortiz and easily.
Ortiz is also faster, throws better combinations, and has better stamina.

 

Ortreez, but Co(e)tto(e) would cause the Tree to quit if they ever fought.
