    Who would win between a prime Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto?

    I refrained from using "prime Miguel Cotto", because he might actually still be improving and won't hit his prime until a few more years. Although, personally I think Cotto is in his prime right now or pretty close to it.

    This is a poll by the way, so please vote.

    Imo Cotto, as good as he is, is in a way perfect for oscar.... smaller, somewhat stationary, comes forward, i dont see cotto winning that fight at all.

    i'm a fan of cotto more than oscar, and i say even if this fight happens now its still dangerous for cotto. Anyway a prime Oscar....Oscar by KO/TKO

    How about this to think about. Cotto beats Shane Mosely who beat Oscar twice in his prime. Well, you can argue that Shane wasn't in his prime when he lost to Cotto, but how far was he from it?

    This is unfair - Cotto is probably not even prime yet, and he haven't been tested like DLH. However, he havent had shady decisions like Oscar has either.

    Going with what I think now, would be prime Oscar to make Cotto's lip bleed.
