Can you believe how Cotto leaves his opponents faces after a fight.
Did you see Carlos Maussa's face after his fight with Cotto?
How about Abdullaev, Paulie, Shane, Branco,Mosley, and now Gomez.
He really hurts his opponents. I can only imagine what Gomez's face would have looked like if the fight had continued. it was going to be terrible.

I can't remember the last time I saw somebody ruin faces the way Cotto does. The accumulative damage he inflicts on opponents is a sight to behold.
If Gomez's corner allowed him to go on, he would have been seriously hurt. It was tough watching it.

Cotto is a plastic surgeon without a liscence. He operates on peoples faces. :bowdown
It was tough to watch, at times it was just sickening.

I know he wasn't in against a top opponent, but at this point, I wouldn't pick anybody over Cotto at 147.
He just continues to improve every fight and he always brings a smart gameplan based on the opponent. He can adjust his defense, too, keeping his hands in a perfect high guard against a dangerous fighter or keeping them lower and using more head movement against guys who can't hurt him. He adjusts his plan of attack as well. Sometimes he'll fight going backwards picking his spots, sometimes he will box using the jab, and other times he'll apply relentless technical pressure. His hands are extremely fast, his timing/accuracy is absolutely phenominal, and his jab is the best in the division. It's not a range finding jab or a weak wrist flicker; it's a power jab that does serious damage. He's such a fluid combination puncher. As far as the body attack; it's one of the best I've ever seen.
Cotto is developing into one of the most complete, well-rounded fighters in the sport. He's a very special fighter.

cotto is literally dishing out brutal punishment on gomez. that's why chicken floyd is afraid to fight him, cause he might LOSE his 'pretty boy' face when they fight.

Cotto punishes his opponents.
He is not there to land some petty punches and score some boring decision.
He is a true definition of a no-nonsense fighter, together with Pac, JC and Wlad.

I realized something tonight that I should have a while back.
Cotto could actually fight Floyd with movement and angles.
Add that to his withering power... I might have to rethink my Floyd pick.

i believe gomez's face would have ended up worse than paulie's had this fight continued. remember paulie had a broken orbital bone and jaw i believe. it was just bad. good job by the ring doc.
Oh, and Patsys, that's a good list about nononsense fighters. however, i'm not sure if i can put wlad on that lists. it seems manny has made him to conservative.

wow, i like to see people give cotto props. it's ok if people believe that floyd can defeat him. it's another for people to say that he would do it easily.
in all honesty, it's a difficult fight to pick.

Gomez was practically out from Cotto's jab
It was that punch to the solar plexus. That hurt like hell I'm sure and also took whatever energy Gomez had.
know he wasn't in against a top opponent, but at this point, I wouldn't pick anybody over Cotto at 147.

Well said, I too would pick Cotto over every welterweight right now, including Floyd.
His well timed jab and technical pressure along with Mayweather's tendancy to go into a defencive shell on the ropes for long amounts of time will be Floyd's downfall. He has very underrated ring smarts and will adjust according to Mayweather's gameplan. I see Cotto taking a decision 9-3.
Cotto is going to be something to behold once he hits the peak of his powers and IMO has the skills and ability to go down as one of the great 147lbers.:yep

Good point about Steward's effect on Wlad. But the Wlad pre-Steward was all about punishing his opponents.

oh hell yeah. he was a machine. i still think he can be extremely dominating if he just lets his hands go. i hate the way he jabs for 5 rounds straight and only throws like 1 straight right each round. his best punch is that right hand. even if someone blocks it, he hurts them. he can bring hell to the heavy weight division, but something tells me that he is still a little afraid to get hit.

Great pics! I wish I could find the one of Paulie looking like a chipmunk while holding Cotto for dear life, the one of Abdullaev with his face swollen and eye closed, the one of Branco that looks like he has swallowed an entire apple, Zab all busted up, Quintana looking destroyed, and even Mosley's face all swollen up.
This man is an animal.
Cotto is so damn fun to watch. I've rewatched the Gomez fight 3 times and will watch it again later. He throws every punch with such force, precision, and form that I could enjoy watching him punch a bag for 2 hours. Beautiful aggressive boxing and calculated, animal-like attack that I can't really compare to anyone in boxing today. Cotto-Margarito is a mismatch IMO, the boxing media makes it seem like it's going to be a close battle, but all it will be is a showcase of Cotto's boxing skills and finishing abilities. Margarito brings nothing into a fight against Cotto and will get the beating of his life. As much I hate Margarito, I seriously think he could get damaged bad in a fight against Cotto and it could be a very sad outcome if he lasts around 10 rounds.

Nuthugger alert: Shane's face is puffy after every fight and Branco was red. The fight ended with a PUNCH on the SHOULDER. Brush up on your facts kid.

Well, 3 of his last 8 opponents have not even fought again-scary shit!

Nah, his right side of the face was fucked up a bit.
I wouldnt mind to see before-after picks of those many fighters Cotto fought.
I also wouldnt mind to see Oscar vs Cotto :D

The scariest thing is that Cotto seems to be quicker than ever. I guarantee you that's why Floyd isn't rushing to fight him. The gap in speed isn't as wide as many thought it would be. When you can actually outbox a Shane Mosley over 12 rounds it sends a message to everyone in the division and that message is "stay away."

the interesting thing is that Cotto claims that he goes into fights without a plan, but instead goes into the fight with the idea that he is going to impose any kind of style or method to break you down regardless of what your style is because he is going to find away to work around it. And Cotto has a straight up POWER jab, the best I've seen since Ike Quartey.

Gomez's corner was allowing him to go on. It was the Dr that stopped it.

he's like a modern Chavez.supreme physical strength able to continuosly walk down and back his opponents up.and he punches through them too unlike Mayweather who uses defensive skills to find angles and counter his opponents offence.prime Zoo would just knock his opponents out but Cotto dos'nt have that type of one punch power so you literally see him beat up his opponents in the most systematic fashion.it is beauty par ugly brutal destruction.

My bad; I rewatched the fight today and at the end of the 4th, I was surprised his dad didn't stop it. Had I been in his corner, I would have thrown in the towel.
Gomez gave it his all, but couldn't compete. You never want to put a fighter in a dangerous, unncessary position.
