Cotto Vs De La Hoya. Who will win.

[Salty]

Cotto for the reasons explained above

[njackets]

I voted 4 Cotto,I think Oscars on the slide big time,the Oscar that fought Floyd I think would beat Cotto,Cotto catches Oscar just at the right time and grinds out a UD.

[bambamdaddio]

ODLH, Because of his speed, guile, jab, and because I feel he takes a shot better than Cotto does..

[OumaFan]

Cotto. Wrong fighter for a guy getting up there who always had some stamina issues.

[Spicoli]

Nothing like assumptions of victory for Superman Cotto on July 26th.....come on??

[Pavlik]

Forbes a featherfisted fighter was able to mark up Oscar, I'm pretty sure Cotto's going to be a handful. Prime for Prime Oscar would win for the fact that he is a naturally bigger guy but right at this very moment I think it would be a toss up.

ODLH matches up well with Cotto. He is younger than Mosely was, and still has good hand speed. He has range and has good power. Cotto is wide open for good upercuts and ODLH throws a good one.

Cotto is younger and fights 12 rounds. He works the body and has developed a good jab. He has the power to KO Oscar. He has a decent chin as well. I think if Cotto can get past Tony he will probably hve proved his chin even further. Cotto does get hit.

This is a tough call. Oscar is a much better fighter at this stage than Mosely. I thought Mosely could've won that fight if he would've not tired. There in lies Oscar's biggest weakness. He tires and doesn't do much the last few rounds. I think Cotto wins close descision, but Oscar could KO him as well.

This is a very close fight. Cotto will be the slight favorite.

[Pugilistic]

Cotto wins.

I think ODH is the best total package that Cotto has ever been in and I think it will show for the first 6 rounds. After that Oscar's fatigue will start to show. I personally don't think Cotto can win by KO. Miguel has also been down before. So I'll say this if Oscar can win 5 rounds out of the first 6 and put Miguel down once then I believe he can squeak out a close decision. All that being said I'm picking Cotto. Much like against PBF I think ODH will look great early on his toes pumping that jab. Miguel will weather the early rounds and wear out the Golden Boy on the way to a SD. Oscar needs to take some notes from his boy BHop by pacing himself and stealing rounds. If Miguel can impose his will and fightplan its his to win.

Cotto who walked through monstrous uppercuts from Zab Judah doesn't take a punch as well as De La Hoya who got rocked by Mayweather several times? Hm.

Cotto didn't so much walk through them as much as he did wobble away from him, cause he was hurt bad

I didn't see that. Cotto kept his feet and kept the pressure on Zab until Super faded away. Oscar got cracked by Mayweather and stopped throwing the only punch that could have won him the fight.

I watched the rounds many times, and Cotto never wobbled, never was hurt. On a couple of occasions he took a step back, but he never staggered or wobbled. He took Zab's power shots very well, something Cotto has done more effectively at 147. No need to respond in disagreement. If you have the fight on tape, you will agree with me when you see it again.
