    i dont like his ****riding fans, but thats another story. i like cotto.. i wasnt sold on him but once he beat zab and sugar it sealed the deal.. hes a good fighter
    You mean an old washed up shane that is 1 fight away from retirement and a Zab that was washed up that was coming off of a losing streak, that was Baldy's sloppy thirds and after Floyd whooped him? Oh yeah, that sealed it for me too.

        I think it really irks the people who he's proved wrong. So much to the point where they root against him in every fight. Not to name names or anything.

            coming from a guy who has Cotto getting hit by Torres in his avatar. Why do that for a fight he didnt even lose? Thats clearly hate if you ask me.

            Paul Malignaggi (world champ #2 at 140)
            Ricardo Torres (world champ #10 at 140)
            Carlos Quintana (world champ #3 at 147)
            Zab Judah (former undisputed champ #6 at 147)
            Shane Mosley (hall of famer #2 at 147)

            just to name a few, that a great resume man i dont see how people cant see that. He beat undefeated prospects, champions, gold medalist, you name it.

            If he were to get exposed, dont you think some of the names above would have done it? All of them are ranked in the top 10 of their weight class.

              he has a good resume. i think he is being handled very well too..

              sugar looked good man.. he got his too much because he doesnt like to keep his hands up which is his fault..

              it wasnt a prime sugar, but sugar was still a top welter at the time..
              the judah fight, he destroyed judah..

              i thought he was gunna lose the quintana fight.. quintana is under rated man. he has very good skills, although he tires out..

              cotto has one of the best resumes out there now.. and has done great at welter..

                Naw honestly I like Cotto, I HATE Tito. And thats were people think I hate Cotto. All I'm saying is after Torres-there was no rematch. Then he fought feather fisted guys like Paulie, Urkal, Pinto, but wouldn't give Ricardo a rematch? Then he beats ZAB and Shane who are both washed up. Zab was coming in off of a losing streak, even Floyd shouldnt have fought him. He was Baldy's sloppy thirds. Shane was old and half as fast as he used to be. He almost lost to Vargas in the first fight, then KO'ed him. What does that mean? Honestly, he lost to Mayorga!!! Then he beat Collazo that lost to Ricky Hatton who came up to 147 to fight him, and still lost. Then he fought Cotto. Mosley hadn't had a meaningful fight in years. These guys are just good names that are way past their primes. I'll give him Quintana, but he was a feather fisted fighter as well. Someone whose punches he could walk through and give his power. I lost a lot of respect for him when he didn't fight Torres again. That to me showed they didn't want him to fight anyone with a good chance to beat him. Even Floyd gave Castillo a rematch because it was a close fight. Now the same with Oscar, because there is money and it was the closest win in his career a SD. I could never see Cotto doing that. Thats why I lost a lot of respect for him, because he didn't fight Torres again. Sugar fought Duran again, and Hearns. Chavez Sr. fought Oscar again to try to avenge a loss and fought Frankie Randall after his first loss. Tyson fought Evander. But Cotto cant give a rematch to a guy that ALMOST beat him??!! Pathetic.
