    Wich fight you think he was the most impressive?? I honestly think he did a hell of a good job against Mosley. Also destroying Quintana Judah and Gomez.

    I scored the fight in favour of Mosley by 1-round but Cotto was impressive that night none the less and deserved the victory. Easily that fight.

    The Zab fight was pure awesomeness. I could watch that one 1,000 times it seems like. Zab is one of my faves along with Cotto, and they fought like mo'fo's.

    I think the best perfomances he put on were in the Gomez fight and Margarito fight. Of course, Gomez was a very limited fighter which led the way for Cotto to practically do whatever he wanted and with Margarito he ended up losing the fight so... in complete perfomance I'd say the Quintana fight, followed by Mosely then Judah :good

    EDIT: Also I just remembered the perfomance he put on against Kelson Pinto when he won the WBO jr.welterweight title, very impressive. It was that fight I think that convinced people that Cotto was a name we were going to be talking about for a long time.
    It just seems that Cotto really puts on great perfomances when he is fighting for a new world title (Pinto and Quintana). I just wish he wouldn't always fight for vacant titles and would actually face proven Champs. But that's not really his fault, it's Bob's :yep

    Technically I think it was his fight against Gomez who he easily dominated and knocked down several times when many said that it would be a tough fight because of Gomez's experience fighting bigger fighters.

    It's Quintana for me. I was actually expecting Cotto to lose as the perception of him was of a flawed fighter back then, and also he was moving up in weight to face a good, world class fighter. The fight was close through 4 rounds and then Cotto goes out there, steps up his game, and completely destroys Quintana in that 5th round so badly that he forces Carlos to quit on his stool. Very, very impressive.

    Quintana and judah. Probably quintana is the better win imo because of the way he did it.
