Cotto has to be one of the most classiest fighters of his era.

[Squabbles94806]

Can't find one quote of him saying anything bad about Margarito..or anyone for that matter. Doesnt trash talk to hype up a fight and leaves it all in the Ring. SSM is one of the classiest as well..Even after KOing Vargas his camp was in the ring talking trash and he told them to stop and even went up to Vargas afterwards and had some kind words for him. Not only that these two will fight anyone as they already proved and both put up good performances against the boogie man.

Word. True gentlemen.

I think that's why this sport is so appealling. It's hella brutal and primitive, but it's full of class. Truly a sport for gentlemen.

nope.mexican fans dislike him too.they are a few who like him like warcotto.
he's gotten called a traitor by some mexican posters.which is hilarious.
the majority of mexican fight fans like mexican fighters.and they are one of the quickest groups to complain about puerto ricans backing puerto rican fighters.
because to them,they are the only ones who can be nationalistic.
if their is a fighter, that mexican fight fans should like, is cotto.
he pretty much combines the same things that sanchez and chavez did, combining skill with will.he doesn't talk ****.which is one of the complaints that mexican fighters have had of puerto rican fighters for years.
now, margarito, even though he's been declared guilty of wrong doing prior to his last fight, they still wanna support him.its hypocrisy of the highest order.

SSM fans still support him, so..

I'm not really a fan of Cotto but I am not Mexican and I don't like Mayweather. I just don't like the way he fights...if he polishes his skills more then I could start liking him.

how can you say that? how many fights have you seen? cotto is the classic case of boxer puncher.he is skilled.especially with a sig with manny in it.manny just got skilled like 3 fights ago.

If he had polished his skills I believe he would have beaten Margarito with ease.... I like Manny just because he is so exciting to watch and he is just all out offense.

Can I have nomination for Israel Vazquez. Even after he won the second fight with Marquez (IIRC) he put the belt around him for their pictures together.

There are a lot of classy guys out there just that the bad press gets the ink.

shane mosley doesn't have polished skills.and he beat him.cotto has polished skills.

and what exactly is cotto?

[Madvillain]

It takes a really big man to not use the possibility of someone cheating as an excuse as to why he lost. He openly said he just thinks Margarito had a great night and accepts the loss. Even the most gung-ho Cotto haters have to give the guy respect for not making excuses. Which when you think about it is the sign of a true champion. All signs show that the outcome has motivated him and might actually make him a much better fighter in the long run.

Because classy guys always throw full force low blows to save their skin when they're in trouble, right?
