Why do Puerto ricans love Tito more than Cotto
I think myself it is because Tito was a better fighter than him
They both Draw thousands of Fans to MSG

They Love Tito Miguel they love him but not the same
puerto rico is a small island and while cotto is rather withdrawn by nature tito is extremely outgoing. cotto obviously represents PR himself but nobody did it quite like tito, the flag colored trunks, yelling "puerto rico" before and after fights and just constantly making it about the island. always letting the people know he fights for them, he also trained there his whole career unlike cotto who spent much of his career in the states. tito beat more top mexican fighters than cotto as well which doesnt hurt.
Cotto is a great boxer no doubt but he will never be Tito!!! If cotto was around when tito was fighting cotto may never have won a title at all!!
ODLH, Vargas, Pernell Whitaker, David Reid an even Carr could have beat cotto!!!
Tito was just more patriotic whereas Cotto doesn't have to yell he's from PR every single second.
Plus he speaks english, smart business move to get more fans. Cotto is a smart guy
I think we identified more with Tito because Tito was a guy who lived like a common man and even though he was rich he was humble to the ppl, but as a fighter he talked the talk and walked the walk,,, Tito would tell somebody imma ko u and would go in there a ko the dude. We love cotto to but he's quiet and reserved so it's harder to go wild for a guy like that but I feel we love him the same way. Plus Tito set a world record by title defenses at welterweight. I think he defended his title 14 times sucsessfully
Tito was a beast for 8 years
If cotto would have went on to be more of a dominate champion he would have been more loved.
Tito was also came off as a peoples champion showed alot of national pride

I see what you mean but These are the things that I think make Tito more Loved.
1.He was a better fighter than Miguel
2. Tito was more of a peoples champion nicer guy fought for the people cotto says he just fights for his family
3. I heard he made them pay for the trout fight all of Titos fights were free in Puerto Rico that was a mistake
This goes back to to #1
Tito was screaming Puerto rico everytime he won and before the before the fight
He would wear there colors when he fought
Cotto does not do that
I guess the Tito being more of a "patriotic" champion was the x factor. Cotto has always made it clear that it's a business.
Tito was very proud always showing love to his fellow boricua, and also a knockout artist never really see him get hurt with the exception when he got knockdown but he would brush it off and comeback.
Cotto on the other hand is quiet to himself, some people feel like he's arrogant. I heard rumors that he can be an ass but those are rumors so I can't say. Both are great fighters either way.
Lets not go back to 2001, that is when Hopkins brutally battered Tito.
Joking aside, I think it's because Tito is the original, the OG to Cotto. Tito is what Cotto aspired to be growing up (most likely.) and most Puerto Ricans latched onto Tito and his accomplishments, where as Cotto just followed in his foot-steps. Just my opinion.
