why does he keep getting a title shot even when hes coming of a loss i got no disrespect i love miguel cotto man great warrior. bt why does he get a title shot even when hes coming of a loss and he has also never beaten a great champion or a even a good champion to get those belst
From Pinto to Mayweather, he's been in 20 title fights and only lost 3 times. He lost to Margarito (WBA) and then beat Jennings (WBO). Lost to Pacquiao and beat Foreman (WBA 154lb). Lost to Floyd and is now fighting Trout for the WBA World belt. I don't see anything wrong with having that many consecutive title fights.
go check boxrec on 2 of those 5. then on another one of those five go and read up on how hes an established cheat and THEN go see how cotto turned into justin verlander in the rematch.
stop being such a troll.
I literally stopped reading right there :rofl:
Everytime Cotto has lost its because he lost to the #1p4p fighter in the game. The Margarito loss is now contested so I don't factor that into it. Cotto is an elite fighter I don't think anyone would doubt that. Each time he fights contender level opposition or even title holders he beats them consistently.
Just because he didn't beat Pac or May doesn't stop the fact that he's a top proven p4p fighter.When you get Cotto in a title fight you know its going to be a good show, with a big crowd looking to watch the fight. These other title holders and contenders are simply unproven so giving Cotto a title shot isnt a bad thing imo. Cotto is a draw himself I don't even think of it like he's getting the title shot more like he giving Trout the shot. Without Trout Miguel Cotto would be fine.
He kicked Margaritos a$$ though :D
How the hell can you support a cheating piece of horse dung?
you call running away throwing keep away jabs an ass kicking?
everytime he steps up to an elite prime fighter he gets beaten...horribly
Pacquiao, Margarito, Mayweather, Clottey, Mosley etc
but he beat Mayorga so he's going to keep getting title fights
:op:

Are you a ****ing idiot? He beat Margarito's ass up until he started to fade around the 8th and 9th rounds, before that it was all him. He edged out Clottey rightfully, and he beat Mosley. He made the best account for himself than any who's fought Floyd since Castillo, and he was holding his own against Pacuiao until the 6th round, granted that was when Pacquiao was looking unstoppable.
he always took on great opposition, especially when he was climbing the ranks, he was running through guys who were ranked higher than him. He was making experienced fighters look foolish and weak when he had limited experience in the professional ranks.
He's beaten:
Lovemore N'dou
Kelson Pinto KO (undefeated)
Randal Bailey KO
Demarcus Corley KO
Ricardo Torres KO (undefeated)
Paulie Malignaggi (undefeated)
Carlos Quintana KO (undefeated)
Oktay Urkal (ended his career)
Zab Judah KO
Shane Mosley
Gomez was demolished worse than any by anyone else
Clottey
Foreman KO (undefeated)
Margarito, avenged his loss in dominating fashion
And when you take into account the stages he was in in his career when he fought all them, these are great wins.
What he said ^^^^^^^^!!
Cotto keeps getting title fights because he deserves them. He's been an excellent champion, exciting fighter, fukin warrior and good for the sport.
He may not have been the legend that everyone thought he was going to be in the beginning of his career but he's one of the best to ever come out of PR.
Much respect to Cotto and I'm glad he's getting those big paychecks, he deserves it.
I feel that people under estimate him and under rate him due to his fighting style. it's not flashy, but the man has skill. it takes lots of intelligence, skill and athleticism to give Mayweather the tough fight that Cotto did.

This guy gets it. :You_Rock_
He's a "safe" opponent!! He has enough style and class to make a good fight but he has no power at 47-54 so he's safe unless you make a mistake.
Personally I think he should quit because he's going to go in "tuff" sooner than later and why get hurt when you've made your money and your a quality man? A safe fighter will get into not so safe situations eventually! Ray
Bro, he has no power at 47-54? Aside from Floyd, he KO/TKO everyone he faught at 54. He also KO/TKO everyone he faught at 47 accept for Margachito and Mosley, which has been knocked out. You have no basis for that argument Ray.
Aside from Floyd the only guy that can give Cotto a run for his money at 54 is Canelo.

:bottle: still bitter I see..
I'm a Cotto fan but also a huge Mosley fan and the only reason Cotto vs Mosley was semi-competitive was because Cotto gave rounds away. I had picked Mosley to win that fight, I couldn't justify giving it to him, however. By the 12th Mosley looked defeated and you could see the disappointment in his eyes; even he knew he lost it.
Clottey was a close fight but then again, Cotto had a big gash on the side of his face from a head butt. The problem with Clottey is that he doesn't stay active enough and there were rounds where he barely even threw any punches. Clottey could have won it clearly if he would've thrown more towards the end of the fight.
anyway, Cotto's record trumps Margarito's.. so you are not one to talk about the man with MargaCheatos face in your avy.

Are you kidding me? Floyd is the only legitimate loss on Miguels record. Dude beat a prime Mosley, Judah, Margarito and dont forget all the hard hitters he beat down on his way up. Cotto is top 10 P4P!
I literally lol'd at this
