    Oscar's bigger, faster, hits harder - just a badder man all around.

    DLH won all his welterweight fights until he faced Mosley.

    Yes, he won against Tito who beats Cotto too.'

    The reason I think both Hoya and Tito beat Cotto is because he has a suspect chin and both Hoya and Tito could take a man down back then with one punch rather than the accumulation a fighter like Margo needs.

    I think a lot of people now are too young to remember prime Hoya and grew up on Hoya as "that millionaire guy who gets in the way of big fights." But Hoya was a blitzkrieg back in the day for some of us around then or at least some of us with the decency to youtube his old fights before talking ****.

    But yeah, I'm with you on this post:good

    He'd beat Floyd to a clear UD, tell me what great welters have Floyd ever beaten? And please don't bring up that version of Oscar he fought that was giving him problems early on.

    This is a close fight. Cotto has a superb all around offense, with his defense being quite good but a bit leaky. DLH has good power at this weight so it is possible for him to knock Cotto down. However I dont see either getting knocked out.

    I think Cotto wins a close UD/MD. His body attack would allow him to land big shots in the later rounds. I reckon there would be rough times for Cotto though

    Peoples are underrating the Golden Fish Net if they think Cotto can beat him. Cotto is a good boxer but the Fish Net is just to good for him and will knock Cotto out because Cotto likes to fight. Cotto would have only a 30% chance at best to beat Hoya.
