Is Cotto more popular in NYC than Tito?

Who's more popular now??? What about after tomorrow night???

No. I thought this fight was going to sell out, but so far 16,000 tickets have been sold. The fight's this weekend and MSG holds over 20,000. No one really knows who Clottey is. Even in New York. I'm actually surprised it may draw more fans than the Mosley fight. Hatton/Cotto would have filled up most of Yankee Stadium.

I was born close enough to Puerto Rico,to say Trinidad was loved by many,but on the skill level,Cotto outshines Trinidad,because,frankly if u stick a jab in Tito's face he's done!!!So Cotto gets more respect for his overall skill,but Trinidad is Rico's Icon of power!!!! Stop underrating Tito. Prime Tito is better all around than Cotto. It's not just about Tito being more popular but he is better at everything compared to Cotto.

he is popular but Tito at hes time was an icon:boxing:

Cotto has had more fans at his fights in NYC then Tito had. Im just saying, I know it doesnt mean much.

I'd say Cotto was the better overall fighter too, Btw I'm not puertorican. I'm white so I'm not biased and favor one over the other.

From NYC, and the answer is HELL NO!!!

because tito is more charismatic?

Who the **** did tito beat thats as good as Mosley? Most puertoricans I've talked to believe he didn't even beat Oscar but felt like Oscar ran like a little bitch and deserved the loss.

This isn't even close, can't understand why people are voting for Cotto. Cotto isn't nearly as talk about as Tito was. I was in HS when Tito came back and remember how everyone talked about how Tito destroyed Mayorga. Cotto doesn't have much of a personality, ofcourse we know that but I think avenging his lose to Margarito would do him alot of good.

If Cotto can avenge the Margo fight and beat Mayeather than he probably could get close to Tito.

Tito is not only popular in PR but across the world. Tito is an icon in PR and Cotto can't compete with him.

I don't think so, Tito's popularity at his best was unreal. Maybe more people attends Cotto's fights and maybe more people know who he is in NY but that doesn't make him more popular, Trinidad's fans were incredibly passionate and hardcore back in the day.

Tito, Cotto is not there yet. Cotto receive a lot of hype because of the internet and shit, but Tito was way more accessible and still being more beloved than Cotto.

I'd say that Tito still has the edge Cotto needs that 'moment' to eclipse Tito. He needs the Oscar/Tito type of fight, and the only two that can present that 'moment' fight is Margarito and Mayweather. Margarito for obvious reasons, and Mayweather, because he's simply the best there is. Plus Tito was more of a people's champ. Cotto is more quiet and reserved. He enjoys his privacy more than Tito did/does. But the Cotto fan appreciation was good. He's a God in NYC.

he will but not yet
