    Was Cotto's win over Randall Bailey overlooked?

    Cotto blew Bailey away. The guy was known as a huge puncher, and had nothing on Cotto. You'd say he was out of his prime, but he's won 8 fights since Cotto, including 6 KOs. He was a former 2 time champ. What you guys think about this fight when it happened and how Cotto performed? He's only lost once since losing to Cotto, and that was 7 fights later.

      Bailey was 3-3 in his last 6 going into the Cotto fight. None of those three wins were against winning competition. Nonetheless, Cotto was very sharp that night. He took a few nice flush right hands from Bailey, but his body work left Bailey irrelevant for the last few rounds. The cut they used as an excuse to stop the fight was just an out; Baily was getting creamed.

          I don't think he has fought any segnificant names after Cotto.. though I could be wrong.

                      It was a good win for Cotto, considering that Bailey is a very big puncher (especially with the right hand) if nothing else. After the Cotto loss he went right back to starching middling competition and I also thought Bailey beat Ngoudjo.

                          The bold part says it all. He's only a right hand puncher. His KO over Demetrius Ceballos was breath taking.

                                  i think Cotto's most over looked win is against Carlos Quintana. I think he to many was an underdog
