    Cotto hit Mosley cleaner and harder than he hit Margarito.

      He looked really fast early on in the Margarito fight, but the Mosley fight to me proved he could box with the best of them.

            The Judah fight did it for me.

            Any time you see two fast handed fighters with power going at it and have a clear winner, that usually does it for me.

              Probably Mosley, then Quintana.

              Although I do find it a bit funny that so many were surprised by Cotto outboxing Mosley. Mosley has generally been more of a speedy slugger than a boxer, and Cotto got an undeserved rep as this ferocious pressure fighter who always came forward. Cotto has always had boxing skills and fought in different styles depending on the opponent.

              He spent damn near all the Abdullaev fight either on the backfoot or circling, and picking his shots when he would stop moving. He also spent a good deal of the Ndou fight like this. The fight was closer than I had expected it to be, but that's not a knock on Cotto. Mosley had more in the tank than I expected, and I thought both of them fought well.

                    The margarito fight! I know it sounds ****** because he lost, but it showed his heart and that he is a warrior.

                      I don't know man, Cotto landed some bombs on Margarito. Margarito took them better or at least wasn't as effected as Mosley, but some of those shots Cotto landed on margarito might've put someone like Berto or Ortiz in the hospital.
