Ive voted for De La Hoya after spending a good few minutes thinking about it. I don't read too much into the Forbes fight as Oscar was rusty and was maybe looking past him a bit. The only thing that I could think of to seperate them in the end was Oscars big fight experience and the fact the judges may well be kind to him for his final bout if the fight is close which I would expect it to be.
The judges may well be the only ones kind to him on the night because Cotto won't be, have you seen what happens to Cotto's opponents after they have fought him? Most walk around with faces like a busted ass for about 5 days. Still, Cotto can be hit and can be hurt so DLH has a chance and you are right his big fight experience gives him some advantage.
