Please, someone explain to me why there's a lack of respect for Cotto on this site? Cotto is willing to fight anybody...Everybody he's fought he's beat! How can you even consider the fight with Margarito? lol..The guy was just found guilty of using plaster on his wraps!(give me a fu#$*%& break! To me Margaritos whole career is VOID! I'm amazed at the ignorant comments about Cotto taking a knee and that he quit. You don't become a Champion in 2 weight divsions being a quiter.....In my eyes he showed a lot of hart in that "VOID" fight. I guess you would have had to climb in the ring to undertand though.
When Cotto walks in the ring he comes to fight. All his fights are entertaining and he shows much tech. skill in all his fights. He never bad mouthed his opponent and let's his fist do the talking....My opinion is he is the #1 w/w right now. He beat Mosley. Right? This shit about Mosley beating the man who beat the man is laim! Margarito is no man.....I like Mosley too. but i just think Cotto's the better fighter. He beat Mosley. Please explain your lack of respect. I can't wait to hear it!
I find Cotto and Klitschko stans to be some of the most illogical and emotionally charged weirdos on the face of the planet.
Its a shame because both of those guys are fantastic human beings in real life. They cant control who likes them.
He got some of them done before the Margarito fight though.
yeah the gay ones on his thigh and lower hip... i remember seeing them on the weigh in... i was like "WTF! that shit is gay as fukk"
the ones on his ribs, arm, and bicep were done after the marg fight.
iunno wtf is up with the tats.............. to me it seems like a defense mechanism to get over getting brutalized. w/e who am i to judge him - im sure his legion of fanboys love them though :luvbed:

the move up to welter trimmed years off his career. he shoulda stayed at 40
ive lost faith in him delivering but id be lying if i told you i wouldnt tune in to watch him fight.
No doubt, He is still exciting to watch when he becomes aggressive.

I think he still has it, but he just can't land it sometimes unless you are coming in.

Whats up with cottos gay ass tattoos?....
its off the subject i know...
but damn, the ones on his arm, bicep, and rib is cool... but wtf was he thinking getting one on his outer thigh and his lower hip like a girl.
that shit is kinda gay.
Yeah, no way I would get one on my thigh lmao.

he should just pierce his belly button while hes at it.. :thinking:
Anything can happen in this sport. Zab's speed was the ticket, and that upper cut he has is one of the best looking punches in boxing and when he lands it, it is very effective.
no doubt
zab's uppercut is VICIOUS (well, WAS....)
LOL ok he wasnt THAT hurt but i do firmly believe zab wouldve had a really good chance at finishing him off
(sorry i got really excited, i watched the clip with the volume turned all the way up. the crowd was electrifying)

I don't think most good posters don't respect him.
I think though some people go out of the way to show Cotto isn't invincible by dramatizing his flaws.
Cotto has many strengths and I've always liked who he's fought, but he's not superman.
I think the threads being overly critical are pretty crazy but they do shed light into some of his weaknesses
Cotto is a fine fighter. Rational people know that.
For starters, I just want to say, I love Asian girls. The two you have posted are amazing!....getting back to the comment though....I look at Cotto's skills and I truly think he doesn't lack much of anything. People question his jaw. When hurt, he's recovered. He's beat everyone who's knocked him down and I think if you watch the pounding he to from Margarito again, you might agree he can take a decent punch.(THAT WAS THE VOID FIGHT) His speed is good,
timming great! Great body puncher and knows how to close the show when he has you hurt. The only thing I see lacking was knowing when to tie his opponent up when in a bad situations. Hopefully Mosley showed him how that is done with his win over margarito. Such an important thing to know....In a interview he was asked why he didn't tie up Marg when in trouble? He said," I dont believe in doing that, I believe in punching your way out of all situations". You have to respect that mentality but that's not going to work everytime.
Hey Tek, are you ready to handle your newfound fame, if Clottey wins?
Nah it's no big deal to me really, I expect Cotto to win, but it would be nice to see Clottey finally get a big break. Cotto can take his career much farther though.

i try to not mention this anymore but everytime i see that vid, im always surprised at how hurt cotto got in the 1st round. zab had him........ if it wasnt for that ever so convenient low bow.
Even if Cotto didn't low blow, I don't think Zab would have been able to finish him, he is a bad finisher, and Cotto was still able to stay elusive enough to avoid a few of Zab's punches.
