i don't understand it. :huh
Mosley when he fought cotto is a better fighter than Oscar is right now who is very inactive.
of course, oscar has a better chance at 154 since then he'd have an advantage because he likes manipulating people.
but it wouldn't be a missmatch in favor of oscar..guaranfuckingteed. if this happens in may of 2008, that'll be oscar's 3rd fight in almost 4 years.
WAR COTTO

Look at what Corley did to Cotto and then look at DLHs left hook (if it lands)
And if this fight takes place at 154. Etc etc. All depends on the factors IMO.
Who are these "a lot of people"
Tell them they are fucking idiots. The only thing De La Hoya can destroy is the perfectly folded arrangement of his girlfriends lingerie
I wish De La Hoya would retire

The reasoning behind it is that Oscar is bigger than Cotto and stylistically presents problems due to his height, range, outside skills, left hook, skill set, and size.
Not that I necessarily agree, but it's not unreasonable to think that DLH would get Cotto out of there.

Ignorance or Fraud Groupies trying to hate on Cotto cause their hero is afraid of him.

Oh, come on.
Cotto is infinitely more skilled and polished than Mayorga.

Yeah I know, but it's still funny, and in reality Mayorga does pack a huge overhand right and a hell of a chin
A prime DLH would be extremely dangerous for Cotto, but Oscar is completely out of his prime now and is gonna be draining weight to make 147. Cotto will break him down and knock him out late. Oscar has not gotten his stamina tested in quite a few years and against Cotto, great stamina is essential. I really hope this fight comes up so Cotto could brutally stop Oscar and setup more hype for a Mayweather showdown near the end of 2008.

I will be rooting for Cotto, he is one of my favorite active fighters (Dawson, Pavlik, Mosley).
However, I do like DLH, although I wish he'd just f*cken retire as he is holding things up for his own glory and feel he poses a serious threat to Cotto's reign as an undefeated fighter.
DLH will land his left hook and Cotto will have to fight through the cob webs eventually.
In the end, I favor Cotto by decision based on the hand speed and boxing ability he showed vs. Mosley.
I just wish Oscar would retire.

Mosley is a better technician and a stronger fighter than De La Hoya, no doubts about it. Just that Oscar presents specific problems to Cotto as the use of the left lead and combining it with the left hook to keep him off and at bay. Hoya's inactivity and recent performance give no indication that he would compete physically with the hungry animal Cotto is... So that leaves us with the simple scenario of Hoya tryin to outbox Cotto and we all know he can't do it under an intense pace for more than 24, 27 minutes... Hoya lines himself up for his 6th defeat, 2nd in a row and the usual cashing on the opportunity, nothing more, nothing less.

Oscar won't be, b/c the fight will be @ 154 or a catchweight in the low 150s.

It amazes me how blind people can be. Oscar will not fight Cotto the same way as he did PBF because Cotto is not PBF, there is no need for Oscar to fear being counterpunched all night. Most likely it will be an attack and gradual breaking down of the fighter as he did to Vargas and Mayorga. Mosley vs Cotto is different. Mosley went into the fight with a game plan that couldn't work. He went in looking for a ko and it wasn't happening. He had no defense and by the time he turned into Mosley the boxer and started to turn the fight around it was too late. Mosley said it himself, "I should've boxed more." The difference between Mosley and DLH is when DLH hurts you he moves in for the kill. The numerous times Mosley had hurt Cotto he did not go in for the kill but would back up and let Cotto regroup. DLH never let's anyone regroup. If he lands that left hand the fight is over.

DLH fares well against guys he doesn't have to chase around in the ring. He'll get to stand toe to toe against a smaller man. I like his chances.
Oscar won't be, b/c the fight will be @ 154 or a catchweight in the low 150s.
Where did you hear that from? I hope that Cotto doesn't have to give in to Oscar "Demands" De la Hoya. But if he does, it will only make me enjoy seeing Oscar get his ass beaten more.

DLH's stamina sucks these days not that it was great even back in his prime. If he's gonna win he better knock Cotto out under 6 rounds otherwise all those Cotto bodyshots are gonna add up through the rounds.

I always wish for Goldie to lose, he has no heart these days
At 147-150 i give Cotto a real chance, but i bet Oscar will do it again.
He'll demand that it beat 154 at least, and probably wear his protector
to his chin again and what gloves to use. I wish this fight wouldnt
even happen but if it does I hope Cotto stops him.
oh so now weight matters and it didn't matter in mayweathers last fight ? lmao
It would depend on how much Cotto would weigh.
Hatton weighed in 154 against Floyd unlike the 160 he was against Collazo.
Hatton normally comes in fight night in his Jr Welterweight fights 152-154.
Thats why weight doesn't matter.
And it would/wouldn't matter depending on what Cotto comes into the fight at.

Oscar has had guys move up in weight to fight him since 1995, can demand catchweights or the bulk of the purse and all that because he's the draw and provides a big opportunity for his opponents to make a lot of money and get exposure.
Why would this change for Miguel Cotto? Do you really see Oscar going back down to 147, where he hasn't fought since 2001? The last time Oscar fought, weighing 154, this is how ripped he looked.

How is Mosley a better technician?? I'm not even sure he is better than Oscar right now. Of course Oscar will gas out so Shane would win, but Shane isn't his old self either.
mosley didn't have cotto hurt "numerous" times..
Well obviously, in fact I think Cotto's chin won some brownie points for taking a lot of those right hookks of Shane's so well. But Shane DID have him hurt bad enough late in the fight that it seeme to make Cotto change his fight plan!
