To beat De La Hoya,all you need to do at this stage in his career is block the left hook. When he was younger,he was an always improving tremendous fighter whos' right hand was improving,excellent jab,footwork etc. He seems to have lost alot of that now so thats why I believe Cotto would be too much for him. And Cotto would hurt him to the body. Lil Floyd made his kneed buckle twice,Cotto hits harder. However,if Cotto did get hit by a left hook,it could be lights out although I'd like to think he would not be that careless.

(my bad,I thought yuo chose Judah,must have been FrozenSOlid,you2 have the same opinion on nearly everthing!!))

Also,styles make fights,Oscar is a better fighter than JLC but JLC gave Floyd a much tougher fight because like I said,Oscar is not a pressure fighter and it showed. Cotto uses intense pressure.(and you're just making excuses because you and I both know Floyd would never fight Cotto )
