    DLH has one of the best chins ever....he stood to Tito's, Hopkins', Mosley's, Vargas' and many other bangers shots and never tasted canvas.

    Well, he took a few clean punches from Trinidad...but he chose to get on his bike instead of really finding out how good his chin was.:lol:

    I can't agree it was one of the best ever, but he had a good chin...though it aided a great deal by his size and style.

    I do think DLH presents Cotto with some problems Mayweather didn't have to deal with...just looking at their respective styles and you'd figure Cotto will have a tougher time with DLH, though it's also likely DLH will have a much tougher time with Cotto (not in terms of winning/losing, but in how much punishment he'd have to take).

    I think a big question is how much DLH wants to deal with a fighter like Cotto at this point in his career.

    Yeah..but he can' take it to the body...and Cotto will destroy him there....

    I rather see COTTO vs. MAYWEATHER but that won't happen till late this year..or early 2009....


    Cotto vs. Margarito
    would also be good..but Margarita had his chance back in JUNE to fight Cotto at the Garden..but he refuse the fight...and went on to lose to his former sparing partner.....


    don't really care much for Cotto vs. Clottey...but Cotto will still be fighting a top 5-10 welterweight....

    DLH vs. Cotto will lead to a showdown against MAYWEATHER...so i don't have a problem with that fight.....AND PLEASE...FUCKERS!!! your favorite Welterweights/jr middle/middle/jr. welter would LOVE to fight De La Hoya..and would take that fight in a fucking second...so don't bitch...

    IF Cotto chooses to fight De La Hoya then Floyd should fight Mosley, and then if the two win...they should fight each other!

    Great scenario. Floyd won't fight Shane.

    Mosley just want BIG money fight....he already fought Cotto...so the only other huge money fight left is MAYWEATHER......

    if both want it..then it will happen...

    I won't have problems with Cotto-De la Hoya if the fight happens just because it means that Mayweather-Cotto will be even bigger.

    Agreed.

    Mayweather-Cotto is by far #1 on my list of fights I want to see. Floyd will fight the winner of Cotto-DLH since that's where the money is.

    I just worry that Cotto might lose. He'll have to move up in weight again, I highly doubt the fight is a 147.

    :nono: Erratic please,.. Cotto doesn't need any more 'introduction'...because on his own, he's probably just as big, if not a bigger draw than Fraud, so let's not make good of a complete waste of time, Cotto's drawing power is infact the reason why the fight is being proposed, it's an exciting corperate juncture, that's all it fucking is.

    "Oscar says Hatton may still be a possibility" ........:rolleyes: oh and Pacman too?... odd...that... how are these relevant to the boxing landscape?.. you've got some cockhead, assessing all the 'big draws' and knighting them, and himself with fuck loads of capital :rolleyes: .... as a hardcore fan,.. this aint much different than 4 extra sanctioning bodies being created for essentially the same parasitical purpose.

    Of course Mayweather-Cotto is a huge fight, but Cotto beating DLH makes Cotto is a bigger name and gives him bigger exposure. Beating DLH does that for fights. Then Mayweather-Cotto becomes even bigger.

    It sucks, we'd all rather see Mayweather-Cotto now, but business is business.

    And Cotto's not a bigger draw than Floyd.

    :nono: Uh, yes indeed, the leech is sucking, you can see the globules of blood being drained from your neck, so let us all not try and extrapulate positive theories for this act of predatory retribution, it's survival of the fittest, but everyone has retreated into a 'happy place' as they slide down the corperate aesophagus, fucking fight it!...:nono: :nono: :nono: rise! rise! rise!
