A major thing that you are ignoring is that Oscar likes people to come onto him(Cotto). He does not like fighting boxer/movers(Mayweather). It is a bad match up stylistically for Cotto.
Cotto V Pbf is going to happen, Cotto beating Oscar just makes it bigger (if), but I dont believe its necessary, thats what pisses me off, just a money making exercise for all concerned
what you are also forgetting to mention cotto also likes fighters like DLH, that want to trade punches at this stage of their career example (Judah)... you also forgot to mention cotto has very underrated speed and extremely good jab.... (example quintana and mosley) cotto doesnt fight all the time coming in, people have to realize that.... he could box and beat you to the jab with the best out there...
Cotto has a worse chin and less power than Oscar. Oscar has a better Jab when he throw's it and he has a massive height reach advantage. He would be significantly the bigger and stronger man. The only reason that Cotto would win a fight with Oscar is if Oscar was as shot as they say.
This is a good fight. Big money show aswel, i also think DLH can win, he is still good for 9 rounds which might be enough at light middle to get cotto out of there. DLH is a big hitter, MC has shown his defence leaks against quick fighters and the higher weight division goes against him aswel. I can see DLH coming out on top TKO in 7, atleast thats what id like to see. Alot of my prediction depends on how much DLH can get into his tank.
How does cotto have a weak chin, more confuse to being weight drained... once again he got hit by corley in the tempel not the chin and was weight drained... and the torres he got hit with over 20 punches and still didnt go down with a push down and once again was weight drained... now lets be smart and we are talking about a cotto at 147 not 140... at 147 he has gotten hit with shots that many wouldnt have survived... he has taking them extremely well...
im just bringing some points since you making it seem DLH would easily beat cotto and at 147 both of their chins are extremely well... people have to realize one fight in the past doesnt mean thats the type of fighter you will be for your next fights... since you want to bring points, I could have easily said could DLH handle a body shot or could he take a shot to the chin, bcause DLH has been down if you didnt know that... my point being is cotto is a new fighter esp 147 where his weight is not a problem...
Yes I did know that De La Hoya had been down. Thanks for that. If Cotto was to land a good body shot Oscar could be in real trouble. Oscar has real power in his left hook and a good Jab. Cotto is not hard to hit. Therefore it could spell trouble. Cotto also is at a terriable reach, height disadvantge. Oscar could also never make 147. If they fought it would be at 154. Oscar would be better at that weight than Cotto.
BAD fight for Cotto, Oscar tire late in fight agasint guys he often have to follow, he does great against fighter like cotto because they come straight to him and he had the offensiv arsenal to take them appart, I hope this fight dont happen cause Cotto will proly loose and we wont see Mayweather VS cotto
DLH has mention he wants to go down at 147 because thats were the best division is at right now esp. with all the good fighters.... once again cotto is very versatile, he could change his style and not only depend on his aggression by coming in, he could box as well... and someone just brought a great point... DLH tends to get tired... cotto could really benefit from this esp. if he gets his body shots early on... now I want this match to happend so he could once again prove his haters wrong... he is going to beat the DLH in a more convincing way...
DLH has mention he could make 147 where his interest is at... and cotto gets hit, but watch what happends when his opponents hit... he counters back real quickly... just watch the mosley fight.... and the height could be as much as an advantage than disadvantage, mayweather and cotto are about the same height that doesnt mean anything... he fought quintana who has a long reach and taller than him....
Mayweather would also beat Cotto. But I would give Cotto a better chance of beating Floyd than beating Oscar. As he match's up better against Floyd.
