The welterweight version of Cotto (that beat Mosley) v the welterweight version of De La Hoya (that beat Sweet Pea).
ATG at his best weight against a B level fighter? Negga please! Oscar De La Hoya does everything better than Cotto and more... Cotto uses the same stance as DLH. They are both lefties who fight orthodox. Jab- Oscar De La Hoya Lefthook- Oscar De La Hoya Speed- Oscar De La Hoya Power- Oscar De La Hoya Footwork- Oscar De La Hoya Experience- Oscar De La Hoya Skills- Oscar De La Hoya Chin- Oscar De La Hoya Reach- Oscar De La Hoya Height- Oscar De La Hoya Favorite- Oscar De La Hoya Against common opponents: Mayorga -De La Hoya KTFO6 in total dominance -Cotto TKO12 in a hard tough fight against a completely shot Mayorga Mayweather -De La Hoya loses SD fight (arguably controversial) with Mayweather running -Cotto loses clear UD and is hurt various times even with Mayweather standing in the pocket Mosley -De La Hoya lost to a prime-peak Mosley by SD -De La Hoya completely outboxed Mosley in the rematch 9-3 -Cotto gets a questionable win against a shot 5 losses Mosley
I don't think the poll is suggesting a mismatch but simply that just about everyone thinks it's a convincing win.
