    Cotto would control him with his superior jab early on and finish him off late.

    Ortiz would give Cotto trouble, probably hurt him with a few quick hard shots up the middle of his guard he doesn't see coming, but he jabs and breaks down Ortiz to get a late stoppage or violent decision.

    Current Cotto would not be able to handle the pressure.
    Ill go against the grain, Ortiz by early to mid K.O./T.K.O.

    I say Ortiz buzzes Cotto early on then similar to sat, a backpedaling Cotto is a vulnerable one.

    Great fight, but I think Cotto ends up with the victory in a FOTY candidate.

    Its hard to say who would win because they are similar. I would have to put my money on Ortiz based on his youth and how strong he looked at WW.
    I think tecnically Ortiz might be the better boxer too. Its very close but i think he edges it in that department along with power and speed. Very close in everything though.

    Go watch MMA then. Cotto is everything a boxer should be.

    Fights anyone anywhere and always gives a good show.
