Cotto Vs De La Hoya. Who will win.

[Puerto Rican Punch]

I am curious to see how De La Hoya handle all body punches that he will be receiving thru the fight. Cotto stops De La Hoya in the late rounds...

After Oscar lose to Hopkins people started to question Oscar's ability to take body punches over and over. Since Hopkins, I am yet to see Oscar being KOed by a body punch or seriously injured. I think it’s a bit overrated to say in every fight that a single punch to the body will totally destroy him. I mean, the possibility is there of course. It's not only one fight where I have seen Cotto getting rocked/dazed, about to get the fight stopped, cut, slow, etc.
Interesting how nobody mentions Cotto's weaknesses. I root for Oscar but I can see his weaknesses specially now that he's past his prime.

I don't think Cotto will KO De La Hoya with just a body punch as Hopkins did. He will worn out De La Hoya with a steady, methodic attack to the body. Of course in that effort he has to be very careful of not opening his defense too much. I have seen previous fights were Cotto has received several right hands to the head (watch the fight with N'Dou), which I have to admit surprised me a lot because he could not adjust his defense at that moment. However, I think that it was a moment where he wanted to change his style for being almost 100% aggressor (I think tried to copy Tito's style) and forgot his boxing. I have seen that he went back and he is fighting in a smarter way. I think Cotto has to be very careful during the first 6 rounds, but then it should be all Cotto.
