Yes.

Mosley was number 1 and Vernon smashed him up twice! Go to 6 minutes in to this video


Now look what Mayorga did to that same fighter. Just an absolute wild animal that Cotto wouldnt have wanted any part of
I've seen both fights. I just never knew that Forrest was considered the P4P #1 afterward beating Mosley.

As for Mayorga, few people would consider him being a better fighter than Cotto prime for prime. His wins over Forrest are impressive, but that's the only victory he has had against a high-level opponent (I don't think the Vargas that Mayorga fought counts as an elite fighter). Cotto has a better resume and he's a much more skilled fighter.
Me neither. Must have come as a shocker to Jones, Barrera and Hopkins
