Miguel Cotto is a modern Joe Frazier

[Boogie Nights]

see any similarities other than one guy is black and a former heavyweight champion, and cotto is a puerto rican welterweight champion?

Personality, will, chin, style, and the left hook

a lot of people been on cotto's case for being this sulky character, who doesnt hype his fights, doesnt crave attention, doesnt smile much

enter smokin joe frazier. the legendary fighter who carried the same reputation into the ring and outside of it. was not a flashy guy by any means, stayed out of the media. a very contrasting character next to a showman like ali.

not only their personalities are the same but in a way their styles also. miguel might not have the bobin n weavin style but he still smokes, both had great left hooks, ferocious bodypunchers, and wore down their opponents.

strong will possesed by both. shaky chins, but also the abily to get up when hurt. 2 humble warriors going about their business without any cheap talk

all those "flaws" in frazier's personality didnt stop him from becoming a hall of famer, what's the problem with cotto?

what you say?

Cotto is actually more like Joe Louis in terms of look and personality.

how so, pleasy specify? i've never thought about the look, maybe, what about personality?

Joe Louis was also very quiet, and i can see a point there. but joe's fighting style was closer to comparrison than Joe Louis. Miguel doesnt really speak english that well, so that plays into it.
but joe was pretty humble too, maybe a little more excited when he talked, but i see those similarities with cotto.

but Joe Louis was also a very good example. you right. but not in terms of style.

He said personality wise not style.. Notice how Cotto and Miguel walked back to the neutral corner without smiling or saying a thing waited for the eight count then proceeded to demolish their opponent. (a lot of that has to do with a list of rules Louis was given so he wouldn't upset white people) but still a similarity. Also the way he carried himself and how he was kinda shy and didn't talk much.

I think what he means with looks is that Louis was handsome and Frazier was not..

Miguel Cotto is gonna end up broke, sellin used car parts in a junkyard

lol naw, dont see a modern foreman anywhere at 147 pounds. he was just one of a kind. margo has a good punch but i just cant compare him to any heavyweights

yep vida is always beautiful. she can ko foreman, margatito and cotto all at the same time. she gave my nuts an 8 count already

also a good point, we know what ali said about frazier's looks. good point devious.
and yes i got the personality thing, in a way louis is closer to cotto, but maybe i was being somewhat biased because of their styles and thought that frazier was the closest thing to him.
and yes the list was a smack in the face. they came up with that after jack johnson. no white women also. they had like over 10 rules or something. ******.
