Thread: Where does Cotto's left jab rank among active fighters?

To me, the most startling difference to Cotto's game is just how destructive his jab has become.

A few years ago when he was a prospect, he had a good jab, but everything revolved around the left hook to the body. Now his jab is the punch he builds everything around. He throws it with speed, with accuracy, and it lands with the power of a right cross.

So, where does Cotto's jab rank right now among active fighters? The best? 2nd best behind Wlad? Top 5?

To be fair...
It's undoubtedly one of the best I've seen
It's remarkably precise & powerful, and not to mention, painfully fast!

He is beginning to use the jab more and make great use of it...One of the best in the business....Sorry but no...To have a great jab you need to make it your primary weapon...The jab when used properly will win you a fight and make your nights easy...EG- Larry Holmes made a career out of a jab....

In time Cotto's jab assuming it keeps getting better like it has been will be one of the best actively in the game...IMO he is just starting to realize how effective and how much of an asset it really is

His jab is good and it's beneficial to what he does but it's not the best....but props for saying Wlad's is up there because it damn sure deserves to be.


I haven't seen Cotto ever throw a punch that he didn't mean to hurt someone with

Well he is a southpaw convert in right , but now his Jab is like a really Damn shot , that conversion is going be ones of features that Margarito will face.......and advantage to Cotto....

Then what current fighters would you list as having better jabs than Cotto?

Cotto is slow and one dimmensional all he knows how to do is press forward and hit people in the back and in the balls

Oh you are the biggest tool..mentioning me as a Cotto hater? Find me one post where I havn't given him credit for what he has done or said that he was slow, one dimensional and all he does is hit people in the balls and back? I don't irrationally hate on a fighter...i'll leave that to you and your Mrs (Aka That dummy account you created to throw us all off the scent that you're actually a fagg who masturbates over your Cotto collection)

It's a shame because I really do like Cotto but it is going to be too priceless when Floyd beats his ass just so you can shut the fuck up

Oh sorry about that. You are the one who was at the press conference laughing at every little thing Floyd was saying, right? Your panties were getting moist with every breath he took. I remember you.
I also remember you were the one who ketp yelling like a little biatch at a Beatles Concert 'You're the man Floyd!' 'You're the man Floyd!' I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand!



I bet if Floyd would have pulled down his drawers and told you to suck his stick you would have asked permission to brush your teeth first since you folks don't brush your teeth often.

Here is the one where you are getting moist and giggly

Here is the one where you and your boy friend are yelling and screaming Floyd's name.

Who the fuck is the tool now?

I tell you right now both Cotto and Tony will smack Bitch Boy Floyd around plenty but we all know Floyd needs to grow some balls before that happens right?

You know what, leave me out of your immature, lame a$$ retorts to Danny!!! I have never said a word to you, and I don't appreciate you using me in such a vile way!!!

And if after I have posted for almost 450 times, with a completely different posting style than Danny, and you actually believe that he would make up a dummy account to throw you off, then you are not 1 can short of a 6 pack, but 6 cans short. You may want to take an ice cream scoop, shove it up your nose into your empty cranial, and see if you can scrap any working brain cells from the walls of your skull. Everyone else here knows the difference, and knows that I'm no dummy!

Great post.

I want Floyd to do a number on Cotto just to see Danny's reaction.

Off the top of my head in no particular order...

PBF (sorry Danny)...Wright, Wlad, Taylor, just to name a couple....I am not going to make a list of everyone with a better Jab then Cotto's...

His jab is getting better and starting to become a factor....I already said that in other post in this thread

It's def. one of the best in the bizz.
Wladdys jab has to be up there.
Winkys slowed down a bit but it's there.
Calderons jab is so accurate.

Certainly Cottos jab is up there with those.

One of the best jabs I've seen that never get's mentioned is Junior Jones jab. My god was it lethal. Strong, precise and accurate.

What makes Cotto's jab so impressive is not that's better than so many other fighters, but rather that it comes from a guy who fights low and is known for power and the left hook. He's a little like Frazier in that regard. Frazier had a very good jab for a guy who fights short. You expect a good jab from a slick boxer or a tall fighter. You don't expect it from Cotto.

Well i will say when ODLH was in his Prime and with his style before , he had a great Jab too , remembering the fight with Tito Trinidad that was a great fight with class of boxing......
