    In my opinion, Oscar, who has faced a lot of challenges in his life, would get a lot more respect fighting Cotto than Hatton, who is -- weight and reach taken into consideration -- an easy match style-wise for him.

    The question is -- who wins?

    i still think ODLH takes this...you dont need speed to handle cotto, you need a strong chin and heart (oscar already have the offensive tools needed)...i think Oscar can handle Cotto's bodyshots more than he can BHOPS'...

    Even a currently faded DLH would beat Cotto. DLH has every possible advantage over Cotto.... speed, power, chin, combinations, ring generalship.. Cotto's wouldn't be able to hold up to the powerful, rapid-fire combinations of Oscar for very long.

    Yet I'm sure that Cotto dick-swingers will hurry to point out that Hopkins stopped DLH with a body shot, as if DLH has never taken a body-shot up until that point.

    If feather fisted Floyd stuns De la Hoya to the Body sure Cotto can.

    Oscar by UD.

    He doesn't have the KO punch he used to and Cotto is very tough.

    I think if it goes the distance its proly due to Miguel's chin then oscar's power, he still dropped mayorga with a single left hook in his last fight b4 mayweather and miguel as proven to have a strong chin

    He was momentarily stunned in round 5 and his legs did a buckle but he recovered quickly.

    It was a right hand to the face though, not the body.

    Oscar has one of the best jabs in boxing. He didn't use it nearly enough in the Mayweather fight, and I think that was partially because he was trying to implement so many other parts of his game plan.

    He would use his jab against Cotto. I also think his upward slanting left hook would find the mark to often for Cotto to withstand.

    I think Oscar wins this by ko somewhere between rounds 5-9.

    DLH fades late in fights. He faded in all his big fights. He even faded in the Mayweatehr fight.

    Rounds 6 and on is Cotto's domain.

    Cotto takes DLH out late with a relentless body attack. The young lion is to much for the golden goose.
