The size was a complete non factor in that fight. Cotto actually has a pressuring style with the ability to not be overwhelmed by the skills of Floyd.

And I don't buy that De La Hoya beats Cotto either no matter what the weight, what makes you think that? Forbes got to De La Hoya, Mayweather hurt De La Hoya with a couple uppercuts and at this point in his career, De La Hoya just can't match Cotto offensively. I think it would be a lopsided fight.
Sorry I disagree wholeheartedly... a pressure fighter is tailor made for Delahoya.. Delahoya would trouble Cotto with the Jab and I think Oscars jaw would fair better in the exchanges...

Cmon Amat of course Delahoya's size is a non factor against a slick speedy defensively sound fighter.. Oscar is at his absolute best when he dosent have to find you.
