    i give him a good chance if he can jump on tito early and smash him up with body punches. thats if its true that tito was really weight drained during that period

    could of all been psychology to lead oscar into standing toe to toe with him when they fought

    Trinidad had weight problems for awhile at WW, but it didn't seem to affect him in the ring much. He still finished the stronger of the 2 against De La Hoya. That might've been because De La Hoya used his legs a lot though. Trinidad looked stronger in the late rounds against old Whitaker, and the other guys, well they were outta there pretty quick.

    I think Tito stops Cotto. Everyone remembers Tito's left hook but he had a good assortment of punches. Long right hand, left jab, good body punches. He could be effective with the uppercut also, which is important against Cotto.

    Tito could be on life support, and still knock out Cotto.

    Tito KO probably, Cotto could possibly give him the sort of fight Vargas did though
