I've come to really like Miguel Cotto

[D-Omonist]

Will you still like Cotto when Jennings KO's him cold

Let bet on it...

At first I was a little skeptical of him overall, he had some exciting fights i always kept my eyes on him as we was coming up... Then the Zab fight broke out, and I gave Zab a damn good chance, (just like every other fight hes in, FAIL)and Cotto surprised me on that, and the Mosley fight... The way that he could keep up with two really fast fighters... faster then him... but seemed to fight back very well with timing the faster fighter and putting pressure on... I suppose we see how good Mosley really is, the fact that Cotto could go tit for tat with him, speaks A LOT....

When he lost to Margarito, a lot of people automatically jumped on the "he quit" "he gave up" bandwagon and I always felt that was bull****... you could see the look in his face, a look youve never seen from him ever before... it seemed like he was taken beyond deep waters, but was practically drowned... I don't look at him as a quitter, I think he was just beaten down to the point he couldnt even defend himself... there was nothing he could do, I think he took his body as far as he could and there was nothing left to give... ive felt that way from the moment I saw him take those knees... Margarito took everytihng out of him... and he chose to take his knee instead of getting permanently damaged.

The way Cintron went down and the way Cotto went down is an incredible difference... My respect for Cotto doubled in the Margarito fight... and the way he seemingly never talks to much trash and always seems to stay focused on topic, He's turned into a real classy fighter that Ive grown to like a lot.

Much Luck this saturday to him...

Great post! How do I give this guy a green k?

of course he does man.all puerto ricans have black in them.(except if your a 1st or 2nd generation rican,whose background comes from a non black country/race).

Oh yeah. Because I can definitely see the "black" in Rickie Martin and Mark Anthony. You have no clue about your own people.

You are right about this! Not all Puertoricans are mixed with African. As for Ricky Martin and Mark Anthony I have no clue, but I am a light skinned puertorican with green eyes and my great grandmother was a african slave...so as they say appearences are deceiving.

Cotto lost to Margarito because of

A)bad game plan

B)Plaster'd gloves

C) 8 ounce gloves

geesh some of these gusy are morons! He did not have illegal wraps, prove it! I guess the Nevada State Commission AND EVANGILISTA let them slide. (gosh this guy is a moron) and "8 ounce gloves" ummm ok ****** tool what ounce gloves where they supposed to fight in???????? Do you even know anything about what you type or just type with hate?

He may have relatives that were black but most people don't consider Cotto black. He's not black like Roy, Berto, Williams, Floyd, Mosley, that's what I'm sayin. I'm just messin with reed anyhow because most of the fighters he likes are black.

i know brother i know who you are. but in PR people may not look black or have black features in them but most of them does have black.

[IwatchBoxing]

well, in my humble opinion

If I remember correctly Mr. Bob Arum argued for the NSAC to use 8 ounce gloves instead of what was going to be used at that time (10 ounce) thanks to a new rule adopted by the NSAC. So the correct answer to your questions would be 10 ounce don't be so quick to respond and say someone doesn't know anything when in fact it is you that did not know
