However in the past year the cotto machine has impressed me to the extent that i have become completely enthralled by him...
His handling of Zab was only equalled by Mayweathers dominace of Judah.
His beating of Mosely was the equivalnet of the Wright fights....
And his fight against Torres will,linger in memory forever...I thought he was vulnerable then and ripe for the taking!!!

Yet he advances and improves, he got 11 rounds expierience from Judah and 12 from Mosely...I feel that the Cotto we se now is not the finished article and in actuality he will be better than Trinidad in the future.
His beating of Mosely was the equivalnet of the Wright fights....

Totally disagree Wright beat Mosley quite comfortably both times by atleast 4 rounds. In many peoples eyes Cotto vs Mosley was a draw or no more than 1 point in it either way.
Had you asked me to elaborate I would have explained that I felt Cotto's win was similar to the wright fights in the context that Cotto appeared untroubled by Shanes power and speed and walked in to connect with his own more telling blows.
Wright was much too big for Mosley and backed him up all night it was the opposite in the Cotto fight.
They fight was only one division up against a guy not reknowned for strength, power or even attritional punching.
Just because Cotto moved backward doesn't mean he was at all affected by Mosely's punches.
