Perspective/ Hindsight: Oscar De La Hoya V Floyd Mayweather

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Looking back at his last couple of fights prior to Floyd, he was still on top of his game. Knocking out Mayorga with ease was credible IMO. Mayorga took bombs from everyone he fought before and after Oscar but no one made it look as easy as he did.

You know, I meant to touch on how Oscars performance matched up to how Cotto handled Mayorga. I completely agree with you. Overall, I think Oscar was in better shape, was a more capable and a more competent fighter back then, than Cotto is now.

I wonder who would win in a fight between Amir Khan & Miguel Cotto?

That would be one hell of a fight IMO. The Emanuel Steward version of Cotto would not win IMO. Khan would use his height and reach to out jab Cotto. Now if we're talking about the Evangelista Cotto version, I give Miguel a great chance. Cotto will have to come in and pressure Khan. The Cotto of old really knew how to cut a ring off and when he got you there, he put punches together as good as anyone in the game. I actually love the idea of this fight. Hopefully Khan can move up and they can have a catchweight fight...
