    Demarcus Corley
    Ricardo Torres (my fav Cotto fight ever.)
    Paulie Malignaggi
    Carlos Quintana
    Zab Judah
    Shane Mosley
    Joshua Clottey
    Antonio Margarito
    Sergio Martinez

    these are all great/notable wins. at least I think so.

      Mosley was close fight and so was Clottey it's difficult to pick 5 I would say Martinez was his only notable win and the props for putting up a decent fight against Mayweather

        Clottey was robbed though

          Cotto dropped iron chinned Clottey so I have to rate this win as one of his best.

          Even though Martinez was a handicapped man vs Cotto I believe when it's all said and done that will be considered as Cotto's finest performance.

          1. Martinez
          2. Margarito
          3 Clottey
          4. Mosley
          5. Torres

            Why?

            Martinez was the reigning lineal MW champion.

            Mosley would go on to win his second lineal WW title after Cotto beat him.

            Margarito was clearly past his best, but it was grudge match that was deeply personal for Cotto.

            Malignaggi might not be anything special, but he would go on to win titles in 2 different weight classes. I'd put taking Malignaggi's zero on the same level as his wins vs. undefeated Torres and undefeated Quintana.

              The first 4 sound good but he beat Judah at a time when Judah was much better than Malignaggi. I say his best five wins were your top 4 and I'd replace Malignaggi with Judah for win number 5.

                That Ricardo Torres fight was awesome. Love watching that one.

                I just can't get on board with the Martinez win. Dude had half a leg in that fight.

                  I guess I forgot about Clottey because I though Clottey deserved to win that fight.

                    On paper...

                    Mosley
                    Martinez
                    Clottey
                    Malignaggi
                    Quintana

                    Personally I thought his fight with Trout was close, I scored it a draw.

                      You Floyd fans do realize that by trashing Cotto, you are in essence trashing Floyd's win over him? You can't brag that Floyd beat him out of one side of your mouth and then suggest Cotto was never all that great to begin with from the other side of your mouth. Pick one.
