    Cotto beats him now, de la hoya isn't prime anymore and only fights for the $$$.

    I didn't say Forbes was more dangerous, just better defensively. Mosley is more dangerous for the amount of damage he can do very quickly but he is easy to hit. I'm not knocking Cotto either. Yes, Cotto can probably recover from getting hurt but will Hoya let him? Hoya is one of the quickest finishers in the sport. If that hook lands flush its trouble. When it landed on Forbes the bell rang right after. As to Hoya's hook, are you seriously asking if Hoya has power in the punch that made him who he is today? Power is the last thing to go for a fighter.

    I think so too. The size will be a factor as well as the skill. Of course Cotto did well with Shane, but I think he lost against Shane. DLH has a big chance at beating Cotto. I'd lean towards a DLH Decision.

    I like De La Hoya at 154 mabey at 150 and Cotto will go up to these weights, but De La Hoya dose not have a tittle and Cotto will not only have a tittle but will most likely be consered #1 or #2 P4P. De La Hoya wanting to go out on top may agree to face Cotto at 147. In this case I like Cotto.

    Depends how far DLH has gone past it. Cotto IMO is there to be hit and if DLH can land his left hooks, I can see Cotto getting knocked out. Dont think he could outbox DLH either.

    If cotto is there to be hit doesn't that mean his chin is better than given for?

    either that or he has a decent defense.
