I know it's popular to bash Oscar on this forum...but some of you are kidding yourselves if you think Cotto would have an easy time with Oscar. Oscar, even at this stage of his career, is a better technical fighter, stronger puncher, and even faster than Cotto. The only thing Cotto would have going for him would be his youth...which could turn out to be a big deal. And yes, Cotto has improved...BUT...i'm still not sold on his chin against a great puncher and his defense can still be porous. Cotto has developed a great jab...but Oscar has an equally good if not better jab. Cotto is a great champion...no doubt. But the best fighter he has faced so far is a 36 year old Shane Mosely....who in my opinion fought Cotto to a draw. Also not sure why some of you point all your venom at Oscar. You don't think Cotto wants to fight Oscar?! I guarantee Cotto would want to fight Oscar over Floyd or anyone else...because if some you haven't figured this out yet...a fight against Oscar=$$$$$ and publicity.
