        Cotto can certainly be a big star in the sport. He's well on his way. To say he can become one of the biggest in history is a bit ridiculous though. For starters, in order for him to be the biggest star in the history of the sport, he would have to transcend boxing and become known to the general sports fan and beyond (think Ali, SRL, ODLH). I don't care if Cotto brutally KO's his competition for the remainder of his career, he will never become a cross-over star until he develops some sort of personality. Good guy, bad guy, whatever. He needs to do something to make himself interesting. Perhaps reversing that lobotomy would be a good start.

          Btw, Cotto himself understands that he needs to improve his english. That's why he's working on it. Anyone who thinks that its racist to say so is a complete nutjob.

His fighting style is complete, he can do it all, box, brawl, slug, he is truly fearless and a class act in and out of the ring. he is universally beloved and respected. even mayweather respects him so much he will never fight him.

                Imagine how big Cotto can be. His style is always exciting. Yeah he might lose like Duran but everyone loves a guy who fights like Cotto and acts like he does in and out of the ring. Pure class.

                Mayweasther will never be revered for his character, everyone knows he is a super talent but he has been well managed and protected from risky fights, of ocurse by his own orders.

                Cotto is the spirit of a true warrior, all that is great about the sport. Floyd is not. Cotto will one day be a massive superstar, floyd only rides the coattails of major stars, on his own people will not buy his fights against mismatched opposition. this is why he is in hiatus or going to MMA. he knows he can't ride anymore coattails.

                Cotto will not even beg Oscar for a fight, that's how classy he is. In every way he makes mayweather look pathetic. ALL HAIL MIGUEL ANGEL COTTO!!!
                No Cotto can not become one of the biggest stars in history. Cotto simply is not good enough and I don't see potential for him to improve that much to become so. Yes Cotto can box, slug and brawl but Cotto does none of them on a elite level. Cotto doesn't have the skill to move to many different weight classes. Everybody thought Michael Jackson was great guy until that **** came out about him ****ing with kids so whos to really say what Cotto is like out of the ring. Me personally I don't give a **** what he does out of the ring as long as it ain't ****ing with kids or raping people.

                For the record talking about PBF never helps your argument.

                Before I am called a hater or a PBF nuthugger. I picked Cotto to beat Mosley and I truly think he is a good fighter. Just don't think he can become a all-time great fighter.

                    wait, arent you the same dude who said that the reason floyd dont got no support at his fights is because his fans are too lower class and dont have money to go?

                      Whoa! Cotto the biggest star in history? **** thats a strong statement to make considering what he's accomplished. Sure he is a champion but to say he is the biggest star in history is far fetched big time. He can't match up against the accomplishments of some other great fighters the sport has seen. Cesar Chavez, Tyson, Ray Leonard, De La Hoya, Ali, not to mention many other fighters throughout the history of the sport.

                      He hasnt done all that much, and besides he hasnt really beat any real good fighters in their prime. He beat Mosely but Mosely is far from his glory days.

                      He's moving along, we'll give him that but not the title of " the greatest in history" no ****ing way.
