    that fight was a showcase of Cotto's boxing skills. From his jab to his counterpunching towards the end of the fight. So many people say he ran, but he actually used his counter punching very effectively landing the cleaner/harder blows despite being on his back foot. If he fought Maymeather, it would be interesting to see if he employ the same tactic and make Floyd come foward.

    Mosley soft-snappy-jabbed, faked with the left to set up big overhand rights with great accuracy and Cotto timed his attacks with the stiff left lead and left hook counter powershots and great effectiveness in counterpunching... Extremelly even fight as the numbers and stats suggest ( end of 12 and per round)

    He has a very good jab, no doubt he showed better boxing skills in the Mosley fight.
