    Personality wise, I also think he resembles Louis more than Frazier.

      Style-wise, Cotto's got some similarities to Chavez.

                I agree and I think Cotto is more of a methodical stalker like Louis compared to the relentless pressure Frazier brought.

                  I agree, Scott. Definately.

                    I think Louis's, Frazier's, Foreman's and Cotto's characters are very similiar! these dogs bite harder than they bark!

                      i would agree and disagree. louis didnt got to the body the way frazier and cotto did. he had terrific combinations, but his footwork was a little slow and he would often wait too long on his opponent. Also Louis was a great tactical boxer, but id still say that despite cotto's improvements, i still classify him in the brawling style of a guy like frazier.
                      like i mentioned before miguel might not have the perfect bobin n weavin ability that frazier had but he still smokes.
