    You can see some of the classic Cotto shots even back then.

    Thanks for sharing.

    the 3 weigh ins seem suspect though. the kid must have been heavy as a last minute sub.

    Left hook to the body then sticks it to the head - class act.

    Cotto's hype was well-justified back then unlike a lot of up and comers in today's boxing landscape who are merely being hyped without any substance...

    Good fighter, but never great.

    One of the most overrated of this era. Best win was against a one eyed Margarito.

    Lost all of his big time fights.

    Not trolling. Depends on whether or not you consider Mosely "fresh" at that point. He had been through serious wars already, he had been on the decline for a while by then. He was already what, 35 or 36, and you consider him fresh?

    The fact his best win is a debate over a one eyed Margarito, or a Mosely on the decline really shows what a crappy resume he has anyway.
