Cotto can become one of the biggest stars in history

[PapiShasho]

Can we stop with the ****ing "Mayweather needs to wait for Cotto to get bigger" ****? That is NOT the reason the fight won't happen if it doesn't (I think it will eventually).

Cotto IS ALREADY BIG. He beat Judah. He beat current and former world champions. He's beaten undefeated knockout artists. He beat ****ing Mosley. Who can he fight to make him bigger? Margarito? Williams? LOL. Cotto is fresh off beating a legend who most people had as the favorite, so let's get off that whole excuse, that has nothing to do with it.

The ONLY fight he can take before Mayweather to make him bigger would be DLH, and if he beats him in a more convincing fashion than Mayweather did, Floyd-Cotto would be a huge mega money fight and there would be no excuses left.

why u mad?

Where do you get I'm mad from what I said? This is the ****ing internet this **** ain't going to make me mad. I cuss that is how I am. If cussing makes you think I am mad I am truly not mad. You haven't said one thing that is disrespectful so no reason to be mad.

Oh, and while I agree that Cotto improving his english can only help, not hurt him, Trinidad never bothered to try and look how far he got. It has far more to do with Cotto's demeanor and personality than him not speaking perfect english.

That being said, I don't see how it can possibly be construed as racist when someone mentions that.

i agree, Trinidad had that swag about him, Cotto just doesnt carry that with him, his crossover fanbase is really lacking, whereas by the time trinidad was on PPV alot of people were definately checkin for him.

Cotto is an inch away from Superstardom, his last two wins were good, but there are major detractors. Mosley was ancient, and Judah was coming off a long lay off and was never a superstar in the first place. If Cotto beats Oscar people will say he was too Old. Same with Vernon Forrest or Winky Wright @ 154. Cotto needs Ricky Hatton (coming off a loss but w/e) or more importantly, Floyd Mayweather Jr. There is no one else who is a huge name.

I can agree that true boxing fans will say that De la Hoya was old but beating De la Hoya would do wonders for Cotto's career. I totally disagree with you about if Cotto beat Forrest and Wright. Those would be the best possible wins he could get besides the major upset of PBF. I feel Cotto would lose to all 3 of those fighters though. Cotto wants no part of those 2 dudes @ 154. Cotto would have to fire Arum to make those fights happen.

Cotto is a superstar right now, more so than floyd was before he got the Oscar fight which elevated him. Cotto's englis is very good, not perfect but damn good, i'd even say better than Judah's

Cotto just needs the chance to wipeout mayweather then he will be an undisputed bonafyde superstar. mayweather knows this, knows he could lose and like a stingy grub is refusing to share the spotlight with Cotto. this is one reason why he is severly disliked. Cotto has payed his dues and earned the opportunity but floyd, the little bytch that she is, will not do the honorable thing.

But regardless, Cotto will get there. Tito was there. He is a superstar, his englis sucks but he communicates without language. he communicates with his smile and body gestures. I know many english speakers who love Trinidad absolutely love the guy. his great personality not only compliments but transcends his awesome fighting style.
