Anybody else on this board feel that way? Anyway, it's amazing how much one fight can turn a fighter's career in a certain direction, for better or worse.
To the topic at hand, I'd take Cotto prior to the Margarito loss against almost anybody during that time period.

Had this fight happended it would have been the ultimate boxer puncher showdown. I give the edge to Cotto but I certainly wouldn't bet my house on it.

Just watch the Ricardo Tores fight. Or when he was put on queer street against Abdullaev. Cotto use to have lapses and just sit on the ropes. He isn'tnearly as fast or skilled defensively as Judah.
This cotto doesn't even get close to beating Lucas, sorry. Too many lapses, too subsceptible to right hands down the pipe. Looks like trash here against an overmatched opponent. Watch what happens the moment Abdu throws a punch.

cottos hype really kicked in after Floyd beat hatton, because cotto was the mainstream medias answer to dethrone mayweather
when Floyd tried making the fight with cotto, arum fed Bruseles to him instead
even cotto said during the build up to his fight with Floyd, that His team didn't think he was ready when they were both at 140
I was a big cotto fan but he had glaring flaws in his game, even at 140 pounds, fortunately he was matched up well
