Miguel Cotto Says: "I Am Not Felix Trinidad"

[csko-2k1]

That's the way it's supposed to be ,forget Trinidad this is a whole new era..whr everyone screams "COTTO COTTO COTTO COTTO "not TITO..

[fdotorres]

By saying "Im not Felix Trinidad", I can only translate that to meaning I will not face all comers, there goes a fight with Floyd.

i get it, tito was a bit black so you like him

[fdotorres]

I think cotto's attitude is almost as bad as floyds! I don't think cotto could give a **** about his fans! The way he marched out of the mgm the night margarito beat him and didn't even offer a post fight interview in the ring or locker room showed how much of a ***** he is! Margarito lost every round and got knocked the *** out in front of 22,000 fans and he didn't run. he stood there and apologized to his fans that he didnt' do better and gave us an interview.

margarito didn't have his faced deformed by plaster

es verdad, en algunas fotos si lo he visto sonriendo y es eso mismo que tu dices. de seguro estaba borracho y medio. como yo lo vi en plaza, no estaba bebiendo ni na jaja. y aunque siempre quiero que pierda desde ahi, cuando vi la pelea contra margarito dije "aunque no le iba a el, no le deseo esto a nadie." el tipo lo jodio demasiau. pero ahora def. le voy a pac.

Yuca no seas embidiso ....El tipo no tiene que estar lambiendo te el joyo para que tu seas un fan de del...Si no te gusta la personalidad de alguien ....que eso tiene que ver con como pela en el ring....Algunos de ustedes tan mas enteresados en como el hombre vive de que como pela....Sheesh...Get a grip it's about The Fights...It's not a personality contest.

Hopkins said, "If you put on tape, then gauze, then tape, then gauze, it's like a [plaster] cast. It's like being hit with a baseball bat. I'm giving out some secrets here, but you can dip your hands in ice water and that tape will, like, marinate and become harder. But it's only cheating if you get caught. Personally, I think Vargas' and Reid's people dropped the ball. Naazim did a brilliant job in spotting what [Felix Trinidad Sr.] was doing with the wraps." Don Felix was also putting tape on the skin and over the knuckles, both of which are not in accordance with NYSAC rules. New York's head commissioner put his foot down and made Don Felix wrap in strict accordance to the rules.

Tito was ordered to re-wrap cause they felt he had too much gauze. After they re-wrapped in front of Naz and NYSC Naz wanted them to re-wrap again and they did.

One thing people seem to be forgetting with comparing the careers of these 2 is that Tito has 12 good years to show of boxing whereas Cotto is working on 8. If you compare the first 8 years of Trinidad's career to that of Cotto it is no contest in who has the better resume. Cotto has plenty of time and opportunity to build his resume to surpass that of Trinidad's. Beating Pacman would be a good start down that path.

Wilfredo Gomez!!!

Thank you.........

[rod_serrs]

WOW, you better do your homework better than that!!!

Felix afraid of Kostya??? Are you kidding me???

Tito's fought Jake Rodriquez in 1991 and it was the last time he fought at JWW because he was having trouble to make the 140 lbs. After that fight he always fought above 140lbs. by the way he beat Jake 99-93, 99-92, 99-91 with like 3 knockdowns, is that "laboured to a points win"??? To me that's a whipping!!

Kostya Tszyu pro debut was in 1992 (after Tito had left ) how the hell he was avoiding him????

Tito won his 1st title (WW against Maurice Blocker) in 1993 when Kostya was having his 8th fight at JWW division on which he fought all his career and you wanted Tito to call him out????

Kostya was beat by Hatton an overrated boxer that could not carry Tito's bag more less last 1 round with him in the ring. And you are putting Tito in the same sentence???????

Stick to your Winky, Jones and Hopkins names and you can get credibility but Kostya Tszyu???? Are you kidding me?????

This is a legend theres no question, if or buts about it!!!!!

Even the Winky's, Jones and Hopkins will admit that. That's why they wanted to fight him, to have a chance of beating a legend.

As a matter of fact Winky and Hopkins careers took a new level after beating THE LEGEND!!!

LOL. Maybe Hopkins took a new level after beating Tito, but Winky? He fought a nobody in Solomin, beat Quartey, fought to a draw against Taylor, and as schooled by P. Will and Hopkins. How is that reaching a new level. Not to mention that he's had only 5 fights since then and that was way back in 2005.

Yeah! why not emulate Pac, he's always smiling to public. But a beast inside the ring!

Pacman is many other things outside the ring and doesn't have a reserved personality. Pacquiao is in movies, endorsements, politics, and many other things where reaching out to the public is important.

Exactly!!!!!!

This idiots dont understand that A, the only guy who beat Tito in his prime was a ATG, who happends to be bigger than him. No excuse by the way, just saying like I see it.

B- The 3 guys that beat tito were bigger than him and great skilled Boxers.

It took a ATG fighter, with great skills and bigger than him to beat him in his prime. And matter of facts it took another HOfer and a ATG to beat him again and when he was well pass his prime, and in heavier weights!!!

Tito at 147 was a monster just like Hearns was. I agree with you on that aspect of his career.
