    How would Cotto or Margarito have fared at 154 vs the 2007 De La Hoya Mayweather faced?

    Good question, thinking about it now, both fights seem pretty close. I would have to rewatch Cotto/Judah, Margo/Williams and DLH/Mayweather to give you a better answer since I think those fights were around the same time.

    Tough question because Cotto never fought over 147, I would favor Cotto because he was a fast prime fighter who was going to give Oscar problems and was going to trouble him with body shots . I think that Margo at 154 was going to lose his size advantage against Oscar. And for me Oscar has a better chin than Margo!!! My opinion. Oscar was going to clinch when needed better than Cotto and maybe take a points victory. I favor Margo at 147 tough. The problem for Oscar was his endurance against a non stop punching machine like Margo. But against Floyd he was O.K. He took the last round for me. So Cotto-Oscar Cotto UD. Oscar-Margo Oscar U.D.

    are you people sick?

    - oscar just DEMOLISHED! ricardo mayorga who comes into the ring fat as ****
    - cotto cant beat up on BIGGER men... let alone an odlh @ 154
    - margarito loses his advantages at 154 & would just be a human target at that weight
    - cotto's chin wouldnt survive oscar at 154...
    - margo couldnt outwill oscar at 154...

    Oscar beats them both. At that time 154 was the best weight for him he still had speed as well as power he stops Cotto and wins by UD against Margo.

    Based on the fact that he doesn't know **** about boxing or has no ability to actually breakdown fights he's one of the worst posters on ESB.
