I can't wait until Berto matures or ODLH fights Cotto

[Taeth]

My point is only that ODLH is better than Mosley right now, and don't forget he hits harder. Cotto was able to take Mosley's punch, and I don't think Margarito will be quick/skilled enough to land those clean punches Mosley did, but ODLH definitely has all the ability to land those hard punches, but he hits harder than Judah or MOsley, and like MOsley he is very hard to hurt. I know ODLH has certain weaknesses to the body, but only Hopkins who not only hit hard for a middleweight was a middleweight was able to finish him. I think Cotto has a good chance.

Berto, I think that his style will give Cotto problems. He is strong, his main weapon is his uppercut, and he has a loads of power and speed. These things make him a bad matchup for Cotto. When Cotto throws that left hook to the body he will be eating an uppercut unlike anything he has ever faced up to now. I think Berto will continue to progress and it will not take him that long with his physical gifts to become one of the top fighters in the division.

As for me not loving Cotto, now that Mayweather is gone I will honestly say Cotto is probably my favorite fighter, and the guy I watch most. I love watching him fight, and I love what he stands for, but I am honest and I feel people are overhyping his abilities and the fear factor involved with him and PBF. I can't wait for Berto to mature because that will be a great fight, and I can't wait for ODLH to fight Cotto because that will also be a great fight, and yes, because it will show that Mayweather was a cut above everyone else.

One thing I will say about Taeth as that for as long as I've been he is one to row against the current and just come out of left field with things.

I respect your opinions cause your entitled to them but sometimes I read some of your posts and I think to myself is he for real or does he just play the role.

One things for sure you know I'll never let you live down the Arguello comment. The same way I'll never let JonesJunior+Maywether live down his Duran comment.

I don't like Arguello, he was a great person, but his boxing wasn't my favorite. I obviously think he is a lot better than I used to which comes with time, but that comment was a long time ago, I am surprised you would bring it up.

Arguello is in my top 3 fav. fighters all time.
Anything thats said about him that's outrages I remember.

Durans in my top 5 fav. fighters anything outrages said about him I'll remember which is why I remember what JonesJr+Mayweather said about him.

Honestly didn't really read your entire post.

But one thing that quickly springs to mind is.

You said you can't wait 'til Berto matures so that he can fight Cotto.

So now my comment/question to you is.
What do you think Cottos gonna be the same fighter he is today?
Can't he improve? Can't he mature more?

So in your eyes Berto will mature and Cotto will...... What? Be the same?

Maybe (I really didn't want to put the maybe BUT for the sake of you comment) by that time Cottos career will be far and beyond what you think.

I said it before and I WILL say it again the ONLY possible way I can see Cotto loose is IF he moves to 154.
At 147 I sure as hell can't see anyone beating him.

If he fights ODLH @147 he'll eat ODLH alive. ODLH is a corpse at 147 and it'll be to Cottos advantge.

But anyway... This was about your Berto comment.

If Mayweather was still fighting he beats Cotto hands down, not because he is the best fighter to ever live, but because he is the best fighter by a fair margin right now. Please explain to me why Cotto would be able to eat Oscar alive? He didn't eat Mosley alive.

Regardless I just want to know styliscally how Oscar is an opponent than Cotto would be able to eat alive when B-Hop, Trinidad, Prime MOsley, PRime Mayweather, prime Quartey, Prime Vargas. Obviously Oscar is a different boxer than he was back in the day, better in some things, but worse in others, but JCC was a similar fighter to Cotto in many ways, and stylewise he didn't match up well with Oscar age or not.

I also believe Cotto would mangle De La Hoya. The one thing Cotto has that none of the ones you mentioned have was the intention to absolutely punish him. Vargas wanted that, but isn't one to actually do it. Cotto would want it, Cotto would do it.

I put up in another post, that Cotto could fight coming forward and ALSO fight backing up. He could fight southpaw or right-handed. Which one of those fighters you mentioned could bring that to the table? Above all, TODAY'S De La Hoya is the Oscar I'm matching him up with. PRIME De La Hoya, would be different.
