If Cotto keeps up with the way he is doing/fighting, i can see HBO putting Floyd on the back burner to Cotto. Cotto has a much more crowd pleasing style, doesnt make big fusses about fighting xyz, doesnt cry about who is worthy or not worthy to get into the ring with him, doesnt let money get in the way of big matchups, etc. What do u guys think?

yup agreed gotta love him

i dont think a loss will hurt him. He has an amazing fan following. Its all about putting asses in seats, and Cotto does indeed fill em.

I agree with you 100%, cotto should be hbo poster boy.
He's got a great style thats exiting to watch and the good thing is, because he's got a poor chin you know he could be hurt any time.

after floyd retires for good, cotto could make it

many are underrating his chin, once he warms up he starts walking through punches, just like he did against judah. not very many welterweights hit with the power and speed of judah.

Plus not to mention him overcoming his injury from the accident he had, never anything negative said about his personality or his personal life. He definately is the up and coming face of HBO.

Poor chin? Has he ever been ko'd? Has he ever been knocked down and unable to come back or finish? Cotto took bombs from Torres and came back to win via KO.
