Oscar wins this fight easily. Cotto is godaweful slow and takes too many punches. He went the distance with Mayweather because he's clearly bigger and stronger. But if you consider that Mayweather didn't use very much movement in beating Cotto, you have to consider that Oscar would have no trouble hitting Cotto almost at will.

It could be argued that Mayweather's defense is far better than that of De la Hoya. That's certainly true. But, again, Floyd didn't rely much on defense against Cotto. He was more aggressive than usual, which indicated that Cotto could not seriously hurt him. De la Hoya punches considerably harder than does Mayweather. This spells trouble for Cotto.
Oscar De La Hoya because he had that solid jab that Cotto would have to meet every time he tried to move inside. I think Cotto is a stronger inside fighter than De La Hoya was though.

Oscar De La Hoya in his prime would have beaten Miguel Cotto.
Miguel Cotto is an overrated fighter, he always has been and he always will be.
Oscar is the far superior fighter. Even the Oscar who lost to Pacquiao would have beaten prime Cotto.
De la Hoya was better skilled and hit a bit harder than Cotto.
1997-1999 De La Hoya.
He does everything in the ring better than Cotto does.
I feel Oscar would've Whooped António Margarito in that 2008 fight Cotto was in too. Even if he was "allegedly" using plaster in his hand wraps.
