Though I was still a boy back when Tito was big, checking his history it's easy to see how bigger he was than Cotto. Trinidad had his fight against Oscar De La Hoya (a superfight with both undefeated and champions) that broke records on the PPV scale! Everyone was interested in seeing this fight! Trinidad won a decision, although controversial. He then went on to defend his titles a few times more, accumulating 40 wins if I'm not mistaken before at last being defeated by Hopkins. That's huge! That, with the fact that Trinidad was a powerpuncher and Puertorrican...meant that, at least, in Puerto Rico he was a humongous figure in Puerto Rico at the time. And there was much more hype for his fights than the ones with Cotto currently.
I think Cotto's reaching that level. The Countdown show clearly showed it; the personality contrasts between Cotto and Trinidad couldn't be more opposite.
Quick detail: The slow motion w/ Cotto looking at the camera as he walks to the right= BAD-ASS:boxing:
HaHa.. That was a great shot with the voiceover. Great moment.
People always seen to hate on fighters.
People hate on Cotto for many reasons, and people hated on Trinidad calling him Cheto Triniwrap.
It never ends.
we owe that to steve kim at max boxing

If he didn't leave his chin exposed then he wouldn't be Miguel Cotto. All fighters have vulnerable spots. No one is perfect. Its funny how leaving your chin exposed can lead you to a 30-0 record.
Cotto ain't no Trinidad. Trinidad was better and still is. I like Trinidad. He fights for Puerto Rico. Damn I miss the old days when he was still active.
cotto is a better boxer than tito has ever been.i love tito but miguelito actually knows how to duck a punch and not lean back.i miss tito too but you gotta look at this with some perspective.
I'm starting to believe there's about 6 people here interested in this fight..
People are still recovering from today, you can't expect them to be thinking about next week just yet.
Nobody ever said that Cotto wasn't a good fighter, he is a very good fighter and very exciting. Cotto's problem is that he leaves his chin exposed when he goes on the offensive and Mosley is a great counterpuncher that will capitalize on Cotto's weakness and hurt him badly. There are some dellusional Cotto fans that think he is on the same level as Trinidad, which is pure horseshit. I like Cotto, but some of his fans piss me off.

Ok ok ok... Solid chins? Against who? Who have they fought? Besides Estrada vs Cintron? That they have such solid chins?
Collazo? He had him on the floor he could have finished it.
Cottos chin is shaky ok, why worry about a chin when you have a heart that can't be knocked down?
That sounds better.
Come November 10th.. All of ya will be Cotto fans. You will have no choice, BUT to admit that Cotto is a good fighter.
Its on now son! I got money down on this bitch! Say what ya want bitches!!!!

Miguel's english is really improving. Of course editing helps, but he sounded more clear than ever.
These shows are really well done, another good one here.
