    It's not about 'luv' though is it?

    Cotto is my joint favourite active fighter, but it doesn't take a genuis to work out that prime DLH at 147 was an absolute beast, H2H one of the best welterweights in history. Cotto is a very good welter, and it wouldn't be an easy fight, but De La Hoya was a great fighter at that weight.

    DLH and Tito would smash Cotto.

    Quartey-Cotto would be a pick 'em fight.

    Bad match up for Cotto Oscar stops Miguel anywhere from round 7 to 9.

    DLH would pick him off with Jabs and Hooks all night long and score a wide UD or possible late TKO.. Cotto would give it a good go though..

    Taking into account quality of opposition & in their own prime, pick between Trinidad, Mosely II or Vargas.

    There are other ones like vs Gatti were he just outclasses him but Gatti wasnt a true elite fighter so if you want to judge him vs other elites at both their bests Id go for one of those 3.

    :good
