Im a huge cotto fan but WTF he could make the weight today just buy running in a sauna suit for like two miles and a piss. He could defenlty make 147 easily if he wanted to.
Your cousins are full of crap and probably alcoholics themselves and aren't capable of telling the truth. Why would Cotto be a prick at a pool hall and getting drunk in front of many other drunks when he's a famous prizefighter? Why would he risk his livelihood being so careless and stupid and inviting trouble? I don't believe it.
They live in Puerto Rico their whole lives and they don't drink but sure as hell they are pool sharks. They have seen Cotto on weekdays at the pool hall get trashed, don't let the HBO 24/7 family and serious man Cotto fool you. He likes to drink and have fun. When you getting paid millions it's ok to let loose but anybody from that area will tell you Cotto is un mamabicho and pesado.
Seeing fighters in Puerto Rico is common. Felix Trinidad is from Cupei Alto which is the neighborhood next to Caimito Alto where my family is from and he's there always with his family hanging out. Cotto and Juanma are from Caguas and you will see them around the area. Don't get mad brother because I posted what my cousins told me haha
My cousins in Puerto Rico always go to a pool hall in Caguas where Cotto usually hangs outs and they say he is a prick and that he is a heavy drinker that's why he's always had trouble with stamina because he wasn't 110% dedicated to the sport like Hopkins and Mayweather.
One thing for sure is that Cotto is a warrior and he has paid his dues. He is able to call his own shots now in his career.

Unless you're Dominican - then forget everything I just said

First off - none of these latin ethnicities hate each other - that's so juvenile. Amongst sports, it's just a friendly rivalry. Out in the real world - everyone is humble and cares for their fellow latino/a. I'm Puerto Rican, but I love my mexican brothers and sisters all the same. Sports - it's easier to root for something/someone you have some sort of intrinsic fellowship for. You follow the sports team (typically) that best represents your hometown (e.g. if you live in Pittsburg, chances are high you are a fan of the Steelers)
So when rooting for a fighter in boxing, it's natural to root for someone that close to you at a basic level, so since boxing doesn't have a locality about it per se, ethnic background plays a huge part. Nothing wrong with. In a classic P.R vs Mexico fight, I will ride for my Rican brother, unless it's JuanMa - I enjoy seeing that guy get pummeled every fight, and I'll always ride with Erik Morales, my fav Mexican warrior of all time.
It's just sports - we don't hate eachother

I used to be a hardcore Cotto fan and still am a big fan just not as much as I used to be, because he has turned into a person all fans usually despise and that's a DIVA.. I remember a hungry, balls to the wall fighter who showed no mercy.. When he started getting paid he switched up and let fame go to his head.. I don't feel he is as dedicated to the sport like in 06-09...He could easily make 147 but chooses not to because he is lazy.. I also think and don't be mad at me that he is an undercover fruit now..
We do speak Spanish but some Spanish, but depending on the region there Spanish is way different sounding.. The Mexico vs pr battles have been great for boxing for as long as I could remember.. Kind of not the same anymore but when both countries collide you are almost guaranteed fireworks
this might be the dumbest question of all time but does all puerto ricans, mexicans, cubans, do they all speak the same language?
Yes you're right, that is the dumbest question of all time!
Yeah they all speak Spanish but sometimes it's hard to understand "other" Spanish because of the way things are said.
Kind of like U.K to American English I would imagine.
Hopefully that was a serious question.
yes it was a serious question. i was asking because i notice they all seem to understand and speak spanish but then they all hate eachother lol. like the rivary between puerto rico and mexico, etc. but with asians u have all sorts of different nationalities but they cant understand each other and they have their own langage, so thats why i was asking.
