Way more than 5 questions there but I guess they are 2 and 3 part questions.
Question one part
A) Is Cotto great?
A fighter that beats 2 of the best fighters in his last division and (if he beats Margarito) defeated the top fighters in the BEST DIVISION in boxing isn't great?
Part B)
When was last time he wasn't favorite?
Who gives a **** he is fighting the best fighters in the BEST DIVISION what more can you ask?
Question 2)
If Cotto fights PBF will it be 2 great fighters or will Cotto be a Hatton?
How the hell do you compare Hatton's win over Tzu and Collazo to Cotto's body of work especially if when he defeats Margarito. Also read my resonse for question 1 and add If Cotto beats Margarito to get your answer if there will be two great fighters.
Question 3)
Why isn't Cotto drawing like Tito?
Who gives a ****. Are Cotto or PBF paying you child support? Do you wish to talk about greatness and legacy or pay-per-view buys, bling and bank accounts?
Question 4)Is Cotto-Margarito going to be a huge commercial success?
Again who gives a ****, are 2 of the best in the division fighting.......that should be your question here.
Question 5)Is Miguel really a jrMW?
Are you serious with this question? Cotto is far from the biggest in the division, Margarito/Williams/Cintron/Clottey/Collazo/Gomez are all bigger than him.
The question is also moot since the man makes the weight before the fight as contracted and also meets the WBA weight markers leading up to the fight. WBA weight's fighters at 1month prior to fight and 1 week before the fight.
A question for you. Even if you hold to the oppinion that PBF is the WW champ, If Cotto beats Margarito is he not CLEARLY at minimum the #1 contender?
Attention Boxing Fans I have some questions for you guys since the Cotto fans cant seem to answer these questions:

1.Is Miguel Cotto a great fighter right now or just a deserving young fighter that Floyd needs to fight?
If he is a great fighter ...why and how..?

2.Will Cotto vs Mayweather be two prime GREAT fighters going up against each other OR will there be just one great fighter in that ring that night?
Will Cotto vs.Mayweather be the same to
SRL vs. Duran or will Cotto be no better then Ricky Hatton if Cotto doesn't manage to make the fight competitive enough to be perceive to really challenge Floyd
Because the way it looks right now, even though there is high demand for this fight, Floyd is EXPECTED to win this fight.
3.Why isn't Cotto a draw Like Tito Trinidad, even though he has the advantage of a build in fan base (Puerto Ricans) and Latino's......???
Cotto vs. Paulie = 100k Buys
Cotto vs. Judah = 220,000 buys

Felix Trinidad vs. Ricardo Mayorga 420,000 buys
Felix Trinidad vs. Fernando Vargas 560,000 buys
4.If the Cotto vs. Margarito Fight is going to be a Huge Success
Why Didn't Puerto Ricans and Mexicans Watch their fighters for Free on HBO...To let the world know that when they fight on P.P.V that this fight is going to be a Huge Success??
Is that how it works, they wont watch them for free, but they will willingly pay $50 bucks to watch them fight.....
5. Is Miguel Cotto Really WW or a Junior Middle Weight...?
We all know that Miguel Cotto drains himself to make weight for the welther weight division....he has been doing this for years he even did it at 140, when He entered the ring weighing 157-pounds, making him a Jr. Middleweight defending his Jr. Welterweight Title over his 140-pound challenger, DeMarcus Corley.
So the real question is why havent Miguel Cotto move up to his Natural Weight Class....
Which is Junior Middle Weight or Middle Weight..Instead of Draining Himself 20 pounds for every fight...?
you have to wonder how he'd fare against contenders who enter the ring weighing 154 or more, like he does all the time.
Cotto needs to move up to at least 154. It cannot be healthy to lose 20 plus pounds for an official weigh-in and then gain almost 20 pounds before stepping between the ropes.
That should not be allowed.
New York Rules do not allow unofficial weigh in to be announce of fight night... (i.e Mosley and Judah Fight No Unofficial Weigh In)
Miguel Cotto should not be fighting at Welther Weight if he is going to enter the ring as a Middle Weight It's just not right. Arguments can be made that Cotto is starving himself to fight at Welter, so he can have an advantage in size and power over smaller men.
I don't understand why he's allowed to show up so far over the weight limit. What ever happened to rules? If a fight is contracted for 140-pounds and you show up 157 (Corley), then you have breeched the contract. Without rules, where's the legitimacy?
The General Concerns I have with Cotto....
Cotto has been on cloud 9 before he was even a champion,
Now that Cotto has become boxing Last hope to become the Anti-Floyd....., He has left himself no room to grow as a fighter... To have the experience to be able to defeat Mayweather and it's now too late. So much hype and money have went in to this kid, and I mean kid, that he has to fight the best in the division now.
No More Unproven Contenders Like Gomez, No More Past their Prime Old Fighters Mosely in which He barely Wins.. No More fighting non active fighters like Judah
He now has to fight Prime,Active, Young , P4P, Highly ranked Fighters....
There is no more grace time.....The Time is Now....
And His First Test is Margarito....
Remember Cotto has never had to beat a Champion For his Title...He has always fought fellow contenders for vacant titles....
I have been seeing this coming though, but the commentators on HBO are just commenting on the good things they see. Instead of the little things he does wrong that champions will see and will counter, and will not miss. He still gets hit a lot, and wastes a lot of punches. Sometimes he punches from too far out and leaves gaps where he can be countered or beaten to the punch.
Zab Judah Show you how to counter him....
Shane Mosley show you how to pressure him
Demarcus Corely Show you how to accurately hit him...
and Margarito will Probably show how can he handle being hurt by somebody who can finish the job
And all those fighters all had defaults in their game....Either they were too old, primes their prime, not active before fighting him, or basic contenders.....
Steward,Merchant and Lampley make him out to be some phenom, because he's KO'd a bunch of lightweights, contenders,and Past their prime fighters
when they know he's starving to make the weight.
I am not saying Cotto doesn't have a chance against Prime Young P4P Fighters
but he still might be too green to face the guy that His Fans and Arum are expecting Cotto to now fight. "Mayweather"
He still has very good skills, power, and a lot of heart, that will keep in the fights. Unfortunately, he still gets hit a lot, and wastes a lot of punches.
And Everybody Knows Mayweather Is the Most Accurate, Counter Puncher probably in Boxing History.....and with 25 Knockouts on his records
2 on them coming in his last 5 fights... and 4 of them coming against Top, Young, Prime, Active, and some even Undefeated Fighters.
Cotto Flaws....Of Getting alot , and wasting a lot of punches, Is a flaw you can not afford to have against The Elite Fighters....., and The Most Elite Fighter in Mayweather...
1. He is a a great Figther all ready with room for improvement.He has beat 10 former or current Champs. So who give a **** about beating a guy for a belt.
2.It will be 2 great figthers with one at his pick(Cotto) and one on the downhill side of his pick(Floyd).2 great figthers going in to the fight expectig to win. Since when a figther goes in to a fight expecting to lose.
3.Trinidad was a big draw after beating DLH before that he wasnt. So that right there should tell you why Floyd is a big draw now a days, and thats DLH.
4.It doesnt matter HBo or HBo PPV real fans will watch the fight, it will be a great event, not a DLH vs Floyd type, but it will be big enough, to satisfy the Promoters,the Figthers and specially then fans.
5.What, that have to do with Miguel fighting Floyd or any Champion. Besides actually he is a small WW,Margarito,Mosley,Gomez,Clottey,Clottey,,DLH,Ber to,Quintana,Cintron, all Much taller and bigger WW.
Question 1: Is Cotto a tougher fight for Mayweather than a rematch with de la Hoya or Hatton?
I think so. Why the need for anymore questions? Stop looking for excuses for Floyd all the time, who cares if Cotto isn't as popular as Trinidad was ffs...
We have come to a time when we play up potential Mayweather opponents just to keep Floyd in the ring. A lot of us realize he's top 10 ever material and we don't want to lose him. Many want to see him tested so we just rush whoever is available forward. Look at how Hatton, a guy who had no chance at all, was played up as a serious threat. The thing is, once Cotto is beaten, we'll just find somebody else to start playing up. Eventually, Floyd needs to walk away because it will never stop. Look how quickly everybody dropped Hatton. The guy is fighting Saturday and hardly anybody even knows it. He's fighting on ****ing free TV in the middle of the day because NOBODY cares other than his countrymen. Eventually Floyd will need to walk away and he'll be called a coward by the fans of whoever the next guy is after Cotto, or the guy after him, but it won't stop. The Cotto fans will disappear just as fast as the Hatton fans did and the cycle will continue. Guys will join here with the new guy in their sigs and claim he's the best and all this bull****.
1. Is Miguel Cotto a great fighter right now or just a deserving young fighter that Floyd needs to fight?
I think his 32 wins, 26 knock outs and no losses speaks for itself. Quintana, Pinto, Abdulaev, Sosa, and Ndou were all undefeated when Cotto destroyed them. He's beaten the current and former world champions Mosley, Judah, Malignaggi, Torres, Corley, Bailey, Maussa, Bazan. His fights on average go six rounds which means they are all incredibly entertaining just about.
2. Will Cotto vs Mayweather be two prime GREAT fighters going up against each other OR will there be just one great fighter in that ring that night?
See the above answer. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter.
3.Why isn't Cotto a draw Like Tito Trinidad, even though he has the advantage of a build in fan base (Puerto Ricans) and Latino's?
Cotto hasn't had his huge pay day fight to launch him into superstardom. Once Floyd steps into the ring and gets KO'd he will have his deserved noteriety.
4. If the Cotto vs. Margarito Fight is going to be a Huge Success
Anyone who isn't guilty of being a complete fan boy of Floyd knows this fight will be a huge success. This is what's depressing about you. Fine if you don't like Miguel Cotto don't give him credit. But you're trying to discredit an entire event solely because he is part of it. More real fans of boxing will be watching this one fight than **** riders and Floyd boys watched any of Floyds fights. No Horus that's not me saying its going to do 10,000,000 PPV buys. That's me saying that true fans of this sport would much rather see this fight than a Oscar/Floyd or Oscar/Hatton rematch which you'd probably try to defend in favor of Floyds bank account like you were his accountant or something.
