    What is your most memorable Miguel Cotto fight?

    All jokes aside, Miguel Cotto is one of this generations finest.

    There is so much to pick from for me because almost every time he fights its a great night of boxing that ends up being memorable, dramatic, or flat out legendary.

    My personal picks include the Torres fight, the Corley fight, the Malignaggi destruction, the Quintana destruction, the Judah battle, the Margarito Masterpiece, and believe it or not, I thoroughly enjoyed the Pac fight.


    Honorable mentions go to the Kelson Pinto grudge match, the Abdullaev revenge and the way he broke Gianluca Branco's arm with punches will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Oh and yeah, lest I forget, the way he sonned Alfonso Gomez was ****ing priceless.


    Here is a great video from one of BS's finest The Bringer on the greatness of Cotto.

    Lets circle jerk it.

    Mosley fight was his finest hour.

    While it was a tight fight, it was like a high speed chess match and that's really where Miguel was able to show his versatility on a grand stage for the first time.

    I can watch that fight at any moment. Such an underrated fight.

      The beatdown he put on Alfonso Gomez was impressive, he was toying with him the entire fight.

      I like Cotto/Margarito and Pacquiao/Cotto as well.

        It would have been the Margarito fight had the whole hand wrap incident not called that fight into question.

        I think the Torres fight is what is more memorable. Is it possible that a fight will ever have a higher ratio of 10-8 rounds? That fight was ridiculous.

        The Kelson Pinto fight was awesome too. The rounds were either dominated by Cotto, or dominated by Pinto until Cotto splattered him on the ground for a knockdown. It was very entertaining.

          I would go with the Judah fight probably the best atmosphere i have experienced in a sporting event.

            Man, I hate to spoil this right out of the gate, but I always found that fight kinda gay..

            Can't really explain it, but I just didn't dig it.

                I know exactly what you mean.

                Both guys were really big punchers, but the fact that neither looked stunned or bothered by any punch made it seem like two featherfists were slapping each other. It wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as it should have been in theory.

                  I was at that fight and the crowd was weak compared to every other Cotto fight i had been to(tickets were too expensive). The fight was pretty good not exactly Cotto's most exciting but a nice back and forth battle with some hard shots being exchanged.
