    Which Performance Was Cotto's Best??

    I know he's been in some good ones.....but which night did he shine the brightest? now take the level of his opponent into consideration before you jump the gun....

    I think it was the night he shocked the world and outboxed Sugar Shane.......

    dig in.......lets see what this leads to

    I'd say Mosley too, it was his most rounded performance.

        I agree.....so you would also say that EVEN on his best night, he couldn't break Shane's will?!?

              I don't quite understand how people were so surprised that Cotto outboxed Mosley. Mosley's always been more of a speedy slugger than a boxer, who relied more on physical gifts and improvising, and Cotto's always been a technically sound boxer.

              Cotto's win over Quintana was maybe his most impressive. The Mosley one was good too given the level of opposition. Cotto had more trouble with Mosley than I expected though.

                His best performance was against Margarito--the guy looked amazing. His boxing that night was missing only a good mix of in-fighting which would of allowed body shots and could of smothered Marg's punches. Cotto decided to fight toe-to-toe however, but you can't block, slip, and duck the volume of punches that Marg's will throw for 12 rounds with a broken nose.

                    its hard to pick one.

                    him destroying zab judah piece by piece was impressive...

                    as was his boxing performance against mosley...

                    even in defeat against margarito he was impressive...ESPECIALLY in the first 6 rounds it was beautiful...i still love that (what i call) "roy jones jr" move he pulled at the end of (i believe it was) the 2nd round.

                    Some posters have a gif of it in their sigs...


                    even though some of his fights like torres and judah were impressive i think his most jaw droping moments were when he was able to box shane and margarito...those were probably most impressive.
