Either way if Cotto wins, nobody is gonna respect him. They gonna be like "Mosley was past his prime and he was old" Some new shit to say. The man will never get respect.
Cotto is a cyborg and Tito is charismatic, I don't know what Cotto can do to reach that level of popularity but it isn't a feat that can be easily be accomplished.
Tito's trademark fight was against De La Hoya and Cotto's trademark fight is against the man that defeated De La Hoya twice. :boxing:NEVER,HIS TRADEMARK IS GONNA BE ON THE CANVAS AGAINST MOSLEY,MOSLEY WILL PROVE TOO MUCH FOR COTTO
Cotto himself is the one who said he will be more popular than Tito.
No secret here; I doubt it!
And right you are, thank God for you writing something with sense to it Addy. Cotto will NEVER be as loved as Trinidad in Puerto Rico, Tito is a charismatic person who gave himself to the people. If anybody here has gotten the chance to meet Cotto, outside the ring or boxing activity, you will see him like he is. A ASSHOLE. Lol, like he's a really dry...non likable guy. He hates crowds and hates people going to him to ask for pictures and signatures. But besides that, he's a ok person, very much to himself, unlike Tito of course. But his fighting style is way more sensational but he has YET to prove himself against a REAL fighter IMO.
I didn't say Vargas didn't foul back, I said it was a foul-fest.. Regardless, wasn't what I'd call a clean fight, for either.
I dare anyone to argue with what I've said about Trinidad. Not because you love him, because what I'm saying doesn't make sense. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. MAYBE, I'm wrong, but I'm still making sense. (I'm probably not wrong, though)
whatever dude.i can't think of one fighter no one who was as hungry for glory as tito was.not one.did he come up short yes.did he not perform up to task at times yes.still if for anything he should be commended for chasing glory,even if he failed.
beating jones at this time of his career doesn't make tito better.....
but he will get into hopkins head...HIS MAIN GOAL!!!!
AND DIDN'T VARGAS LOWBLOW TITO TOO???
just wait until tito knocks roy's block off.....then there will be no more comparisons........
beating jones at this time of his career doesn't make tito better.....
:rolleyes:

haha i think u read my post wrong duke, Tito is in my mind one of the best fighters of our generation. My fav fighter actually. And he beat ODLH, watch the fight on MUTE.
no i know.i meant fuck them.
don't say anything trinidad had three bad fights and all of a sudden he's a bum.fuckem.
He had three or four bad fights.. out of his 6 big fights. That's the problem..
Whitaker.. Looked only decent in it, but I'll give it to him. Good fight, won.
Vargas.. Fouled, and if you think that doesn't matter, take two Trinidad punches to your nuts and try to function with your RESPONSE to this, let alone a championship fight.
De La Hoya.. Should have lost, pretty obvious. Either way, didn't look great in victory or defeat.
Hopkins.. KOed.
Wright.. Outboxed througout.
Mayorga.. Big deal.
Otherwise, he beat some decent fighters, and then padded his career like everyone else does in the beginning.

In terms of resumes.. he'll tie him in my mind. Tito won a VERY disputed fight over De La Hoya, fouled his way to a good fighter in Vargas, and that's pretty much it. Other than that, he fought either fighters who were only pretty decent or faded, some both.
He had, Whitaker, faded.. who still gave him some trouble. He had Camacho, who I never thought much of, and Mayorga, who.. is Mayorga.
Then, his other two BIG fights, he loses, one to Wright that was EXTREMELY lopsided, and one to Hopkins, in which he was outboxed, then knocked out.
Whereas, anytime Cotto steps up, he has shined, thus far. Judah was game in their fight, for whatever reason (lol) but he still lost completely to Cotto. Cotto has a very exciting style of fight as well, so Tito fans can't go with that, either. Cotto CAN box, and isn't too slow, plus has a nice punch. Tito had power over Cotto, but otherwise, in terms of boxing, didn't have much else, not at this point in his career, especially.
A lot rides on this Mosley fight, though. he can have a win over the guy who beat Oscar twice, once deservedly, something that Tito REALLY couldn't do. Cotto then has A LOT of options, as I assume the fight would be very exciting if he could win it. I just see him losing, that's all. POint being if he beats Mosley, fair and impressively, all he'll be doing is adding on to his resume whereas Tito faltered everytime he succeeded towards the end of his career.
In terms of popularity with the Puerto Rican people, he has a HUGE mountain to climb. One, he may never be able to topple, regardless of what he does.
please.and vargas didn't try anything right.fuck out of here when the going gets tough you got to man up.he's was macho right?fuck that no excuses it was a great fight that he lost.
Ya'll are crazy, I like Cotto, but Trinidad is prob a top 10 Welterwight ever, gave first loses to a ton of really good fighters, and was knocking um all out. Ya;ll need to do your research.
don't say anything trinidad had three bad fights and all of a sudden he's a bum.fuckem.
and continually got exposed by his opponents of standing. who cares about his personality? De La Hoya, Hopkins, Wright.
trinidad was a champion at 20,and was reaching for greatness from day one exposed or not he fought the big fight.
