    If DLH beats Mayweather in September, it's a 100-1 longshot that it takes place in December.

    Anyway, it's tough to call because if DLH beats PBF, then DLH will have most likely shown much more than he has recently and make it tougher to pick.

    If Oscar beats floyd there iwll be a third fight between them. A cotto fight would be more lilkey if Hoya lost to Floyd.

    I don't see how Cotto could KO DLH tought. Cotto would win with a combination of skills and pressure IMO but no way he KO's De La Hoya.

    I think theoritically DLH wins by unanimous decision. The DLH that fought Vargas wins by ko. Now, it appears DLH has taken a downward slip since his fight with Mayorga, or maybe it only becomes evident with Floyd as with Mayorga it did not go twelve rounds. But I rewatched the DLH/Forbes fight and at the end of the fight he is pissed and pacing up and down which leads me to think his intention was to ko Forbes after all (I previously thought he was carrying Forbes to show his stamina had been fixed). So my call is theoritcally Oscar (do not know for sure how far in decline he is) but realistically Cotto by UD. :?
