Compare and Contrast: De La Hoya and Cotto

Ahem, ahem, (cough cough), Tito, aheam, (clears throat).:hat

 

comon man, that was not plaster, it was the way he taped his fists that was illegal.

 

Oscar being faster
Oscar throwing better combinations
Oscar having better footwork
Oscar having better defense
Oscar fighting BETTER opposition
Oscar being a 10 time world champion
Oscar having faced 20 champs or former champs
Oscar having 20+ succesful title fights

OSCAR is GRANDER than Cotto.

 

:deal

Its nice to let someone else do the work.:yep

 

Yeah,they said that Tito used to get his hands wrapped without the gauze padding.His corner would wrap his hands with the tape directly on the knuckles.

 

IMO Oscar gave Tito alil to much respect and should have sat down on some of his punches instead of boxing for most of the fight.

Oscar had all the tools that night to stop Trinidad.

De La Hoya is a humble guy.He said it himself in post fight interviews that he couldn't believe that he could do what he was doing to Tito in the ring so easily.

 

that's total BS but oscar will go to his grave with that story.. if you look at oscar previous fights to tito in all of them he went toe to toe with his opponents and KO them.. he wanted to be known as a warrior and a fighter.. but all of sudden he changed his style because he wanted to prove a point.. BS.. he changed his style and ran the whole fighte because he was scared

:hat

 

Oscar KO Cotto. :deal

 

Scared...No
Ran...No
Boxed beautifully...Yes
Gave Trinidad a lesson on how to box...Yes
Oscar was robbed of a win...Yes

 

trinidad was caught stacking.... stacking the gauze then tape then guaze then tape. compacting it into a hard ball.

everyone that got discovered didn't have that "pop" in their punches that night.

same with kessler when they caught him stacking on camera before his fight with ward.

 

DLH= ATG
Cotto= Hall of famer?

 

You really turn a blind eye when it comes to Puerto Rican fighters don't you.

Take a closer look at Cotto's fights since the Mosley Match.

He's been running more since 2007 than DLH did in his entire career.:deal

 

The worst thing is that Cotto ran against a C+ level fighter in Lovemore Ndou.

 

Pffft, Scared of what? That he'd kill Tito? Because otherwise Trinidad had nothing to offer in the way of offense against de La Hoya. Tito was clearly overmatched in that fight you dirty Rican nuthugger.
