Cotto ruined him also. Cotto found out early in his career that when you fight for a vacant title, somehow the opponent is lesser, weaker, more inferior than if you're fighting for an occupied title. It's a well-kept secret.
Maybe a credit to both Cotto and Quintana but I wouldn't say he ruined a Quintana. Went on to pretty much school and undefeated "no one will fight me" Paul Williams. Well at least once . I'm also wondering if Cotto gets enough credit for doing what he did with a fresher Mosley who didn't exactly repeatedly light up the stage afterwards.
