why I give cotto the benefit of the doubt & why I don't understand the hate..

[D.I.E.S.E.L]

Mosley
Cotto
Clottey
Margarito
Berto
Quintana
Collazo
Judah

these are The Rings top welterweights..
besides Collazo and Berto, Cotto has fought ALL of them.

at first I was disappointed about him fighting Pacquiao but you know what?
he has earned a fight like that.. the guy has practically fought everyone in the division.
he hasn't been cherry picking his opponents like others, the least you could do is give him the benefit of the doubt.

I don't see where the hate comes from either.. you would think people would appreciate a fighter who makes an effort to fight anyone and everyone in their division. he's entertaining, very skilled yet vulnerable. watching a cotto fight you always know its going to be entertaining.

The problem isn't Cotto, he's cool and his doing his thing, but his fans? :wank:

Good post! Green k!!! I don't understand when some peepz say that his fans are the problem when there are many fans of other boxers that are way worse!!!

[larry x]

cotto only gets bashed when his fans take shots at other fighters out of the clear blue sky....cotto is alright by me

The only way you cant hate this fight....is if you dont hate the JMM-Floyd fight..you cant have it both ways.

[MANGLER]

No reason to hate on Cotto. Dude is good for boxing.

[RRICAN]

whomever hates on cotto got mental problems. shiet, when he is fighting theres not a dull moment in the fight.

His fans are annoying as ****.

I still like Cotto regardless. I hate when people give him stick for not beating a Champ, it's ridiculous.

I don't hate Cotto at all. But I don't like this ****in Pac fight either. Sure Pac brings $, but Cotto should be rematchin SSM imo.

[swizz]

i think cotto has been good boxing and has fought all this guys and basically won agaisnt them all but one

someone on this thread said he wont be vindicated unless he fights margarito again and wins
i am rican but i used to love margo and after what happen, i think he is tainted and any of his victories

but cotto is a true warrior he has fought who ever they put in front of him and ducks no one.....what is better than that
