I don't see how him jab is that good. I like his left hook though, which is one of the best punches in boxing. However Cotto's jab is being severely overrated as if he has a Quartey or a Winky Wright jab. That is all.

So is Cotto some hybrid Ike Quartey now?

Nah, Cotto's jab isn't overrrated. It's not as good as Quartey's, but it's really, really good. He doesn't use it as much as he should but it's a fight changing jab.
Watch the Mosley fight again. Cotto's jab is literally the difference in the fight. He knew when and how to throw it and totally threw Mosley off, and it's very, very stiff.
Definitely one of the best jabs in boxing, and it will be the reason he KO's Pac IMO.

cotto's jab > quartey's jab
cotto's hook > tito's hook
cotto's right > hearns' right
cotto's defense > whitaker's defense
cotto's speed > judah's speed
cotto's resume > leonard's resume
cotto is the greatest!
he'll prove it this november when he beats up that blown up featherweight pacquiao.

on the real though, i think its real good.. just that cotto doesnt use it as much as he should. definitely not quartey-esque or de la hoya-esque for that matter. real stiff though. as far as being overrated, just keep in mind the kind of people on this site, everything is overrated one way or another
