    True, punchers get bigger as weight classes increase.

    However, this relationship is offset with Cotto, as he has shown an ability to take a larger punch since climbing in weight classes and not having to boil down to junior welter.

    Whether this continues at 154lbs, none of us know.

    Yes it is, but it's only one name though, and besides, no matter how high you value Mayorga's win over Forrest, a lot of time passed between those wins and DLH-Mayorga, time that didn't bring Mayorga a lot of succes.
    And the topic here is: can Cotto knock out DLH?
    De La Hoya's trashing of Mayorga doesn't tell anyone anything about that question .

    I'm with Gonzo on this one (first time for everything), Forrest was a formidable fighter at 147lbs.

    I have no doubt that without his injury he would have fought (and beat) bigger names. I am of the opinion that he would have give Floyd himself a serious run for his money with his jab and length.

    That's a fair assessment, although seriously, Cotto should stay at 147 for a while. I don't think he beats PBF, but he will remain a force there. At 154, I think he gets a unnecessary beating, whether it be DLH or some other 154 pounder.

    Ok, i mostly agree with you on Forrest, but we're losing the subject here. How good Forrest is doesn't relate in any way to Cotto's ability to KO DLH.

    I have no doubt that 147lbs is the optimal weight for Cotto. He would only really go to 154lbs for Oscar anyways.

    Welcome to ESB. Come back to this thread in 4 pages, and we will be talking about the price of hookers in China given the ensuing recession. :yep

    DLH was stopped by a middleweight. Not a welterweight. Cotto doesn't KO DLH.

    Its about intangibles Eze. We arent talking about the 2003 DLH who is still predominanlty a fighter and just entering the promo busines. We are talking about an inactive version who is 1/4 fighter and 3/4 promoter, fighting a young undefeated champion with a body attack and good power.

    Apples and oranges. Yet, you may still be right.
