Cotto's 2nd Biggest Win?

[Fox McCloud]

Obviously Sugar Shane Mosley is the #1 Stunna on Cotto's resume.

He has fought quite a few really good fighters in addition to Mosley, and a lot of them have a good argument for being #2 on the list.

What do you think?

By the way, all 9 of the listed options are former of future world champions when Cotto fought them. That is pretty impressive that he has already beaten 10 world champion in 30 some odd fights.

I thought for sure Oktay Urkal had won a world title at some point, but I looked it up and I guess he never quite got there.

His second biggest win was against zab judah at that time, though I personally think Carlos Quintana is a better boxer now then when Cotto fought him.

Its hard to say. To me, its a 3-way tie between Malignaggi, Quintana, and Torres. All 3 were undefeated until they stepped in the ring with Cotto. They all then went on to win titles after losing to Cotto.

I voted Judah but it's close with Quintana who trough his win against Williams showed how good Cotto really is.

The gold medalist who beat him to quailfy for the olympics. Other than that Judah and Quintana. Abbie whatever his name is.

I think his name was Abdulaev. That's the guy that had to check himself out of the fight because Cotto closed his eye and he couldnt see.

I originally thought that I would have to make a decision of who is the best out of Torres, Malignaggi and Quintana. After looking at their records, I think that Joel Julio and Paul Williams is much better than anything Torres or Malignaggi have on their records.

Torres has Arnaoutis and Holt on his record.
Malignaggi has N'dou and Ngoudjo on his record.

I definately give the nod to Quintana over those two.

Then I come to Zab Judah. I have trouble believing that the good of the one Cory Spinks win is enough to overcome losses from Tszyu, Spinks, Baldomir and Mayweather.

I think I end up voting Quintana due to the fact that he is undefeated outside of Cotto and has impressive wins over Julio and Williams.

It is Abdulaev. He lost once before Cotto, and then after he lost to Cotto, his career evaporated. Definately not a great win in the pros, although he was a great amateur.

IMO Judah and it's not really close, at the time he was by far the most experienced fighter of that list.
