MIGUEL COTTO- official appreciation thread.

Respect to Cotto, even though i thought he would win by K.O i guess his punching power was talked up a little too far before the fight but respect to the man. He hopefully helped set up one of the biggest fights in boxin history make it happen floyd n manny

If you're a Boxing fan, you gotta show respect to Cotto. The guy's got a lot of heart and has given us some great fights and has good wins under his resume. This was a big turn in the crossroad of his career. Let's see what adjustments he makes this time around. Being a fan of Cotto's though, I can tell you he won't be fighting as long as Mosley has been able to keep fighting. I see him hanging up the gloves in a couple yrs, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. Salute to Cotto and his Boriqua fans!

Cotto's overrated? lol :chairshot GTFO Another flomos discrediting pacquiao, while a majority of the cotto fans admit defeat. It's saddening really I don't think it's unfair to call Cotto overrated. Most people don't know the meaning of the word "overrated". It doesn't mean he isn't a good fighter, I just think that when Cotto was coming up, there were a lot of fans saying he would destroy Mayweather and Pacquiao. Remember the signs we saw in his fights that were calling out those two fighters? I think early on Cotto was a little overrated in the sense that he could be an elite fighter in the WW division, right up there with Mayweather and Pac and he's not. He still is a very, very good fighter though.

He was definitiely one of the most overated fighters of our time. he's got a big ego which is bigger than his ability. The guy makes stupid mistakes,he gets a rubbish coach,he tells the coach what to do and he gets clipped. why are the floyd stans the ones disrespecting cotto while your fighter didnt even fight the guy? _________________ anyways, props to cotto, your a warrior and you gained a lot of respect in this fight

No need to feel bad. At the end cotto made the same mistake that tyson did getting a young trainer to have in his back pocket so he can call all the shots, whatever reason he did it whether he thought he had enough skill to handle his own, if cotto continues to fight which imo he shouldnt get rid of santiago and get some1 who can give him instructions instead of saying fight smart. Not taking nuttin away from pac he did work.

He was definitiely one of the most overated fighters of our time. he's got a big ego which is bigger than his ability. The guy makes stupid mistakes,he gets a rubbish coach,he tells the coach what to do and he gets clipped. over rated? because Miguel Cotto loses to Pacquiao, a guy who's clearly shown his greatness and a guy who may have had plaster in his wraps, he is over rated? least he had the balls to fight all the top names... unlike the coward in your siggy. what good is it to be undefeated if you aint fighting the best. shit.

i hope cotto doesn't stay in this game longer than he needs to, the pacman fight and the clottey and ssm fights should have given him a nice little retirement fund by now. i still think he has alot to offer the sport and would love to see him rematch and revenge margarito. imo he might need a fight against someone outside the top 10, then m if he comes through that a fight with collazo or hatton would make sense. then if he comes through that he can think about taking on the best at WW again. however i do think he needs a new trainer, someone like manny steward would work well with him. if i remember correctly there was rumours of manny being interested before the pacman fight. ai think a few years under manny would allow him to develop his all round game.

I talk a lot of shit about Cotto based on his shit talking Stans. Who now happen to be in STFU Mode :rofl:. Cotto is a warrior. No doubt. I don't think he wanted to quit vs Pac. He was just asking how many rounds were left. He's never in a boring fight. Gives me my money's worth. Mad props. Hope he gets a good rest and enjoys that $$$ he got. ugh most Cotto fans gave Pacquiao nothing but respect.. there was less shit talk on the forum for this fight then for any of the last major fights... So I really don't know what you are talking about.. You are just a bitter Mexican who is angry because his boyfriend was caught cheating.

The thing with Cotto is that he has a good resume, he hasn't ducked anyone and has only 2 losses one to the best P4P guy out there in Pacquiao and the other is a big ?

First of all he is not overrated at all he was considered by many as the best welterweight who fought anybody. What happened sat. night was just well f'n amazing the second knockdown destroyed his confidence because I think he was thinking yeah i can bang with him and tak him out them boom the punch from hell came. Took a lot of courage just to get up from that. Santiago did a terrible job but cotto should have adapted and he didn't pacquiao was just better plain and simple. When he took those brutal punches early and it didn't faze him that killed cotto's confidence too. I"m a big cotto fan and always will be he was what boxing needs more of. Pacman is just a fighter that is just out of this world. The fans need the fight to happen pacman vs. floyd. MAKE IT HAPPEN. And i am a fan of cottos that says to retire he's a shot fighter i don't want something like a fregin gatti fight where he loses to some scrub. Miguel you gave your fans and fight fans great years and great fights move on and god bless you are a warrior and a hall of famer. Thanks for the memories

He was definitiely one of the most overated fighters of our time. he's got a big ego which is bigger than his ability. The guy makes stupid mistakes,he gets a rubbish coach,he tells the coach what to do and he gets clipped. his not overated..all his career he was underrated. but surely he has proven a lot of what he can.. now,he has the filipino fan's respect coz he respect pac too.. most of pac's opponent talk shit before the fight but cotto never did even if he can do something out there..

He was definitiely one of the most overated fighters of our time.he's got a big ego which is bigger than his ability. The guy makes stupid mistakes,he gets a rubbish coach,he tells the coach what to do and he gets clipped. I totally disagree with your that statement about being OVERATED. He got beat by Margocheato and the P4P champ and he beat everybody else he fought professionally. So what you talking about bro!
