Not sure if I can really say that all his opponents are top world class champions. I see the guys in his resume and who they have beaten and they are not top world class opponents unless I am missing something. I see an old Zab Judah and a decision vs Mosley that could have gone either way. Other opponents in his resume seem to have a good record but, against who?

There seems to be an exciting list of top quality big name opponents who are young and in their prime that Cotto could face in the near future, let's see what happens.
Ricardo Torres became WBO jr.welter champ and has wins over Kendall Holt (by tko none the less) and Mike Arnaoutis

Randall Bailey is still making noise at 140

Paulie Malignaggi went on to become IBF jr.welter champ and has wins over Edner Cherry, Lovemore N'Dou and Herman Ngoudjo (who's still a threat at 140)

Demarcus Corley former champion and had tested both Judah and Mayweather before him

Carlos Quintana was undefeated and had just beaten (then undefeated) Joel Julio, he later went on to win the WBO welterweight title being the only fighter to beat Paul Williams

Victoriano Sosa went the distance with Mayweather Jr and was stopped in 4 by Cotto
