Compare and Contrast: De La Hoya and Cotto

As well as Junior Welterweight.

And at Junior Middle, Ring did have him as the champ.

That's three weight classes he was considered a lineal champion.

 

I decided to pass on that out of pure laziness as well but the contrast of skills are quite apparent between the two. Oscar was a better overall technician who could do a little bit of everything very well in the ring. A better defender, used better ring generalship, had lighter, more technical footwork (Oscar could actually punch on the move, Cotto can't) Oscar's jab was a stiffer, more threatening weapon, and his punches were also straighter and shorter... and all that just covers skills. Never mind that as far as physical talents go; Oscar was faster, took a better punch, and hit a lot harder.

 

H2H Prime vs Prime

DLH KO Cotto

140 - 154

 

No and patsch on most of what you just said. They're not particularly similar, I'm sorry.

 

How can anyone fault DLH's opposition? Mosley, Vargas, Whitaker, Chavez, Mayweather, Pac, Hopkins, Quartey, Trinidad etc.

 

I already have, it's getting boring now. I've shot better fish in better barrels, mate. I show you where Oscar was regarded as the lineal champion in three of the six divisions he was a titlist in and you say:

It's becoming clear that even pointing out where you're directly wrong is completely useless, let alone just disagreeing about opinion as opposed to fact. For instance, ODLH has had EIGHT MAJOR WORLD TITLES of the four major sanctioning bodies that were taken off of THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING CHAMPION of the title. So, saying anything even close to the above quote is sickeningly ignorant. Now, compare to Cotto having never been the lineal champion, and having one of his four world titles taken from the reigning champion. There is simply no ****ing comparison and you should know this if you're going to carry on this argument.

 

I was rigid and close-minded even though I deliberately made a post trying to see from your perspective and point out any similarities? I'm arrogant because I directly pointed out you being hugely and factually incorrect? You've humored me? Other way around, I think. And the era they're from has nothing to do with anything regarding denying factually incorrect comparisons or disagreeing with opinion comparisons. Regardless, I'm done with this discussion. It seems like being proven to be factually in error and not admitting it is fairly close-minded and rigid. Seemingly, I'm also not the only one in this thread that finds this thread and many of your statements worthy of ridicule. This will be my last post on the thread. It's eaten up too much time and you're apparently not willing to acknowledge even when you're wrong in a verifiable manner and unwilling to take anything in good humor from the get-go or any disagreements without being a pot calling out accusations of blackness.

 

Oscar had the better chin

 

agree... cotto will come to fight and will get KO while oscar ran like a biatch avoiding the KO.. plus one is a tall lanky fighter the other one is a short stocky one that needs to be two weigh classes below then where he is right now
