Cotto Vs De La Hoya. Who will win.

[Macho]

I want Oscar to win but am not 100% sure if he would which makes this fight more fun. When you see Cotto face someone like Gomez or Oscar someone like Forbes, sure, its entertaining but not as fun since the challenge is not really there. You just don't see any risk of loosing. But with Cotto and Oscar, hhhhmmm I can see it going either way now.

Forbes is not considered to have a KO punch and Oscar didn't come out clean from that fight. Imagine when he faces someone that punches like Cotto. Still, I give Oscar the edge for the reasons already mentioned.

Hey Chino , sure the difference between Oscar and Cotto is that Oscar can choose his opponents and Cotto dont.........
But cmon Chino you know that Oscar now isnt the same bro...i cant see his Stamina can end a fight with Cotto at the way that he still getting improvements right now...................

Hey Macho!
Sure, choosing and not choosing his opponents doesn't take away the fact that he can be beaten by Cotto or whoever he "chooses".
Sure, I'll agree with you that he isn't the same and that is why I can see it going either way. Now, if this fight took place 5 years ago I would not have a single doubt that Cotto would loose, agree? Now, I have my doubts about ODLH winning but then again Cotto has been exposed in almost all his fights getting cut, getting rocked, slow, questionable jaw, one-dimensional, etc. I can see Cotto wearing Oscar down to a decision or maybe even a KO but I also see Oscar connecting a good left to that questionable jaw to make Cotto dance all over the ring and maybe have the fight stop if Oscar throws those flurries of punches.
People have been talking about Oscar getting KOed with a punch to the body but that only happened with Hopkins and after that it has all been good. I talk about Cotto getting rocked, cut, slow, having a questionable jaw, etc. not because of one fight but because of almost all his fights. Still, if someone can beat Oscar at the moment, I'll say its Cotto. I see his flaws but I also see the power of his punches, just look at most of his opponents faces after the fights. What do you see in Oscar that gives him an edge?

Don't get me wrong Chino , i don't want say that Cotto could defeat Oscar easy , Oscar has a great respectable experience , but the edge that i give him is the Stamina , he since the last fight with Forbes he did not look good IMO , Cotto is getting much better with his speed , Jabs , counter punches , defense , footwork , technical boxing etc......
If we could talk in the time when Oscar fought with Trinidad , man .......probably the things would change , Oscar on that fight looked very astonishing , to me IMO he won that fight against Trinidad , i know that he ran the last 3 rounds , but looked Great with his all technicals skills , he shown what really is Boxing.................
Now he is different , i like his Style that has now , but with Cotto , this is the wrong Style that he could utilize....................
