Dude you failed to mention or even realize that cotto's loses occur when he moved up to Jr.middle division he really was to small for.Didn't go life and death in those fights though did he? He probably lost one round in each. Those fights were mostly Marquez landed hard counters and dominating with his combinations.
Barrera was past prime sure but a reigning and defending champion ranked in all pound for pound lists (higher than Cotto ever was in his prime even) and was on good form off the back of excellent wins. That win is better than any Cotto win as Cotto never defeated a reigning champion the caliber of Barrera. Martinez was a good fighter but remember he had a bum knee hadn't fought in over a year and was very lucky to get the W in Argentina over Murray.
Casamayor and Diaz were excellent wins too.
Cotto went life and death with Torress and Clottey though. He was also schooled by Austin Trout and Sadam Ali.
Cotto had an excellent career was such a fun fighter and is a surefire HOFer but no need to **** on a fighter of Marquez' caliber to elevate Cotto. He was very good, Marquez was great.
Canelo, Trout.Comment

Good fight but lost clearly. Mosley is a good win but was the Mosley win really better than Marquez's Barrera win?
When you consider that Barrera is a better fighter than Mosley and carried into the ring better form and was a reigning champion? Barrera won the title with a great win over Morales who was good enough to beat Pacquaio and then scored excellent wins over Peden in a unification bout, future champ Fana and a pair of wins (one close one lopsided) over Juarez and was ranked very high pound for pound. Mosley didn't bring great form like that to the ring.Comment
