Mayweather already fought a bigger,faster,stronger skilled Cotto when he fought DLH
Cotto and De La Hoya are both converted southpaws fighting in the orthodox position. The difference is that DLH has a better left hook, better jab, better right hand, better footwork, and is a much better combination puncher. DLH is a much stronger fighter and a bigger fighter. I believe DLH's skill level is far superior to Cottos as DLH has one of the best resumes of this generation.
I Keep hearing Cottos jab will be the key....but Oscars jab is better than Cotto and this is what Oscars jab did to Mayweather...I find this funny that whenever someone speaks on the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight they always revert back to the token....."Oscar would have won if he kep throwing the jab AFTER the 6th round"..........well boys & girls I am here to end all of that madness and lame message board rhetoric
Surprisingly, Floyd had the edge in jabs landed 69-40, throwing 240 to Oscar�s 246.
Oscar landed just 4 of 77 jabs in rounds 10-12, after landing 31 out of 124 jabs in rounds 6-9.....lol
Lets to the math....124+77= 201.....so after the 6th round...Oscar threw 201 Jabs.....he threw 45 jabs in the first 5 rounds......
So TRUTH BE TOLD Oscar actually threw MORE Jabs after the 6th round than he did before the 6th round....lol...
Oscar is 4 inches taller and his reach is 6 inches longer than Cottos and yet was unable to be effective at any point in the fight...
I hear people talking about Cottos left hook (which isnt better than Oscars, if it is...how many people has Cotto knocked out with a single left hook)...Cotto just went 12 rounds with a beyond WASHED UP Mayorga..we seen what an older DLH did with his left hook to a younger Mayorga 5 years ago.....
Cotto is a better Body puncher but Mayweathers shoulder roll stance will block all of Cottos body attacks in my opinion....
DLH's right hand > Cottos right hand.
Techincal boxing skills go to Oscar without a doubt also Cotto has no speed..Mayweather will see his punches coming a mile away
Oscar clearly has the better chin
I see this fight as a mismatch in every aspect of the word.....Corley, Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Pacquiao & Clottey were all able to bust up Cotto and none of these guys have the offensive accuracy and defensive skill of Mayweather.
