Though I was still a boy back when Tito was big, checking his history it's easy to see how bigger he was than Cotto. Trinidad had his fight against Oscar De La Hoya (a superfight with both undefeated and champions) that broke records on the PPV scale! Everyone was interested in seeing this fight! Trinidad won a decision, although controversial. He then went on to defend his titles a few times more, accumulating 40 wins if I'm not mistaken before at last being defeated by Hopkins. That's huge! That, with the fact that Trinidad was a powerpuncher and Puertorrican...meant that, at least, in Puerto Rico he was a humongous figure in Puerto Rico at the time. And there was much more hype for his fights than the ones with Cotto currently.
I think Cotto's reaching that level. The Countdown show clearly showed it; the personality contrasts between Cotto and Trinidad couldn't be more opposite.
Quick detail: The slow motion w/ Cotto looking at the camera as he walks to the right= BAD-ASS
