Why Miguel Cotto is the best name to have on your resume right now...

[Sin City]

They dont bring in money man.Clottey...Margie..Cintron..Williams..Co;llazo. .Berto...dont bring in DOLLARS........

No one is paying 50 to see..Floyd vs. Clottey.

I mean I would but Im a die hard.........

Floyd paid his dues..he didnt start off at WW you know.......

But I thought Mayweather was the draw? I thought he made all this money by himself??
So you are saying Mayweather can't sell unless he has a bigger name opponent infront of him?
You're full of contradicitions!

Mayweather is a draw dont get me wrong..Hes the biggest star in the sport right now.......

But lets be honest...His heart isnt where it should be...Which means if you want to fight Floyd you have to bring legacy and MONEY to the table....

I think the Marg vs. Cotto winner does that...because in that fight somebody is getting Knocked the **** out....and if its Cotto...The Ring will put him as the number 1 P4P Fighter in the game..and Floyd will be FORCED to fight him.

[fabianc]

Wow he started at 140..I know...

Hmm where did Floyd start..he paid his dues...

Castillo
Corralles
Hernandez
Chavez

etc.......


Its not fair for him to fight EVERY Welter...Cotto vs. Marg winner...nothing more.

yo"dog get the fact streight before you run your lips Cotto didn't start at 140 I have all his boxing cd's as well as Punkweather and I can say 4 sure that his record is very good and he Cotto has KO'D dudes that mayweather couldn't KO so get off the NutSack......Cotto will Mayrunner....NYC

Side note: I can't imagine a better job done by a management team being done than by the one done by Cotto's team.

He has maybe 2 or 3 terrible fighters on his resume in his first 10 fights or so. After that, starting with Justin Juuko, he started slowly moving up from decent to better, until he got up to the Shane Mosleys of the world.

Who can you think of that had a better set of accomplishments at their age than Cotto does now. He is still a few years under 30 isn't he?

i don't know why but to me he could be what lennox was to the heavies.you know awesome artillery average chin.......i don't know why i think that.

[pesticid]

I'd give u karma D but I don't know how.

And as much as folks hate on Arum, he and his team know how to bring fighters along.

[sentido común]

98% of all elite fighters have a certain label attached to them when they lose:

1. Too small (De La Hoya against Hopkins)
2. Too old (Hopkins against Calzaghe)
3. Too green (Witter against Judah)
4. Too unskilled (Corrales against Mayweather)
5. Killing themselves to make weight (Miranda against Pavlik)
6. Hasn't fought anyone (Adamek against Dawson)

Do you know which of those categories Miguel Cotto falls under? None!

He is at the proper weight, where he is very big, but doesn't kill himself to make weight. He isn't past his prime at all, but he is a very established great fighter/champion. He is one of the most skillful fighters in the game and has one of the best resumes in the sport that I can think of. Not only does he have some great names on his resume, but he has beaten most of them in a very impressive fashion. Oh yeah, and he also has a tremendous amatuer background which is always a nice addition to any fighter.

Is there another beast in the sport who doesn't have a ready-made excuse attached to them if they lose? I can't think of any, at all.

so will people stop ducking the baddest man on the planet margarito when he knocks out cotto??

im afraid that after july 26 u will be completely on miguel cotto's bandwagon because margarito ain't beating a focused body destroyer like cotto.

You forgot if Margarito even scratches Cotto in their upcoming fight, the excuse will be that Antonio softened him up and therefore Floyd beating him doesn't count.

It's always something..........but oh well.
