This is one of the worst posts I've seen from you... Although you are correct Oscar Cotto would be entertaining, dismissing Margarito as a Joke is in essense .... a joke.
I also thing that Mosley and DLH are pretty much at the same level at this point. So DLH fought Floyd... Mosley could have fought Floyd too but DLH was the bigger name.
DLHs jab is the key to any fight. ANYONE at this point in there career will have trouble with Cotto. Defense is wayyy better then just a year or two ago. Jab is wayyyy crisper then just a year or two ago and he's not weight drained...
Cotto beats Oscar...![]()

Who is Oscar trying to fool? We all know his wife has forbid him to fight any Puerto Ricans.
Oscar thinks he can beat cotto at what ? Wait are we still talking about boxing ??!!

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.
.....i'd have to explain to my kids why all these pigs are flying around !!! Good point though nothing is certain especially when someone is being so disrespected and overlooked like forbes is. I wouldn't be surprised if they have floyd's picture on the poster bigger than forbes's

I for one do not think Cotto will have a walk in the park against Margarito. I also think that if Cotto loses to Margarito, both Oscar and Floyd will definitely not fight Cotto. They will use Cotto's loss as an excuse not to fight Cotto EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER DARED TO STEP IN THE RING WITH MARGARITO. I really respect Cotto, a man who truly takes on all comers that are put in front of him, as he likes to say in his post fight interviews.

Based on what? Sorry… most boxing fans would disagree with you.
IMO, you lose credibility with posts like this.
Not even you, Chino… in your blind fanaticism of Oscar, actually believe that would actually happen.
Guilty as charged.
I can’t stand Oscar and am a huge Cotto fan, but my objectiveness tells me that Cotto would not have a “walk in the park” against Oscar. First of all, Oscar is a seasoned pro. Second, although diminished by time, Oscar still possesses great skills. But believe me, there would only be two possible results from this fight. A KO victory by Cotto, or…. Who am I kidding? Ok… only one possible result.
Here’s where we part ways. I don’t agree with any of that. Faster? Maybe a few years ago. Technically? Maybe a few years ago. Stronger puncher? You’re joking, right?
I’ve never liked the guy. I respect his skills, and his career. But I cringe whenever people want to glorify him beyond reason. There’s been tons of fighters with better records, better skills, better opponents, etc. That he’s made boxing popular with his TV personality and his cross-cultural appeal? I’ll grant you that. And that’s one of the things that make him tolerable to me. But I’ve always seen behind the façade. But hey… that’s what makes us boxing fans all different, I guess.
I give Oscar a shot against Cotto. Especially if the fight happened at 154.
If that happen , i guarantee you that Oscar would want to fight in 150 pnd like with Forbes , he has difficult in make that weight 147 pnd. , now he had problem for make the weight , he said in an interview that wasnt easy for him to get and keep that weight of 150 pnd.....
And Cotto probably will stay close between 147 and 150 , if they agree to fight........
