Cotto Vs De La Hoya. Who will win.

[Chino]

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

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.

The only time I remember ODLH getting a good clean shot was on that round (was it 8th or 9th?) when the round finished and when he let his guard down got a straight right from Mayweather. But it was not like "Oh my gaaawd, OHLD won't be able to recover! Look at him, he is totally in trouble!" Nope, faaaar from that, same thing for Mayweather. Can't really say that both ODLD and Mayweather were in trouble in there. Both fought cautiously.

But if we are going to go that way then imagine if Cotto got almots TKO'd by someone like Torres (where is he now?), cuts in almost all his fights, rocked in almost all his fights, exposed, etc. Imagine against ODLH.

I'll say it can go either way.

If almost eveybody in here hates ODLH and are certain that Cotto can give him a great easy beating then why do some of you complain for this fight? Shouldn't everybody look forward to seeing ODLH loose?

I complain because Oscar brings nothing but his name. There are opponents who truly deserve to be there who have fought and BEATEN significant opponents within the last few years. Oscar fans support his PPVs regardless of the outcome. Would you buy the 5th straight PPV of your favorite fighter if he'd either lost the last 4 or fought paper-thin competition? I'm speaking only from the perspective of if it HAS to happen what I believe WILL happen. I'd prefer Cotto fight Paul Williams next.

And I never said it would be easy. I think Cotto will have to work, but in the end he's going to break Oscar's body down and put him away.

Sure! Why not? Either that or ODLH will make him do the chicken dance Cotto has already done before, get rocked like he has already in many of his fights, or get cut with a few punches. Anything can happen specially now that ODLH is no way near his prime.
