Why is Miguel Cotto so popular when....

[Benncollinsaad]

I can't see a single thing anyone can dislike about Miguel. He's honest, hardworking, doesn't talk much trash, great fighter, sympathetic guy...and he sure as hell does not duck anybody!

He is a dirty fighter.

**** you can watch his last fight and see alot of low blows, body slam, behind the head. Dude is a dirty fighter when things don't go his way.

somebody posted up a comment about the opposition cotto has faced as a welterweight and i just had to input some info and those dudez...

regardless of who wins, i just wanna see these 2 fighters with their country behind them get into the ring and speak with their fists!!! i love cotto cuz u could tell this dude hits with some kind of sledgehammer bc a lot of his opponents had a gameplan, but all of a sudden froze up after they took a shot to the body lol...and i love pacquiao bc he fights the way u wanna see a fighter fight...he always tries to impress the crowd and put on a show unlike mayweather

-Manny Pacquiao? - FIRST GREAT FIGHTER HE HAS EVER FOUGHT....and like cotto's trainer said, "he's a featherwieght" lol....my major concern with cotto is that, he's getting all this talk about he's the bigger dude and he's really fighting a featherweight, but how will cotto feel when pacquiao is tagging him with accurate, hard, quick punches...and on top of that cotto can't seem to get a hold of manny??? we all know cotto is coming in with tons of pride bc he is PR's top fighter rite now but im just saying...how will cotto react if this "blown up featherweight" tags him and rocks him with some punches or maybe even just one lol??? regardless if pacquiao loses, he was already getting into the hall of fame after the diaz fight, so the man has nothing to be ashamed of

-Joshua Clottey? - fighter with a great chin..........thats it lol...frill frill no joke...and as clottey said, i was just walking right in there and landing a lot of my punches bc cotto doesn't cover up much....so when all these people on cotto's jock says he has good defense lol??? chill....so u guys really think clottey and margarito are accurate punchers lol....chill wit that

-Antonio Margarito? - only one major flaw, was that cotto really doesn't like taking body punches not one bit...so he's a hypocrit lol...nah but how do u fight fire? with fire lol...exactly..............really, i cant take anything away from this fight just like freddie roach said bc it is questionable...but one thing that is noticable is when a fighter can take cotto's punches, it definitely gets in cotto's head and he loses A LOT of confidence...



-Alfonso Gomez? - lmao, the contender dude common now...cotto was just looking for an easy fight

-Shane Mosley? - not the same fighter he use to be and still gave cotto tons of problems(and in many observer's eyes fight could of gone either way, but of course...it was at madison square garden - new yoricans)...please, dont look at the margarito fight, PLEASE!...margarito is a cheater and is no elite fighter at all

-Zab Judah? - was cotto's biggest test and judah was already in the decline...

-Paulie Malignaggi? - lol please, not an elite fighter...great jab but take that away and the fight is in the bag

Yea, because Floyd's never been had a point taken away for him using his forearm for defense.

LOL stans I tell ya (both Cotto and Floyd)

You act like I don't notice floyd's illegal elbows, purposely missed weight against marquez, fake rib injury, and the obvious ducking of the whole top welterweight fighter. **** im still disappointed that after he proved that he can school marquez skill wise that he still didnt give his PPV buyers a show and knock marquez out cold. **** floyd is one of my favorite as a boxer because of his skills, but i just hate his personality and lack of balls.

That doesn't stop Cotto being a dirty boxer who is known for low blows and now the infamous body slam to clottey. And i know cotto fan will bring up the head butt of clottey, but everyone knows when clottey punch he leads up with his face first.

I think they would rather cheer for someone who loads their gloves, has a big mouth, drinks piss, really ducks competition or has specially picked opponents.
I dont mind any of those with the exception of glove loading.
Also anytime someone mentions the dislike with Margacheato's cheating, they are singled out as PRO-Rican.
The truth is it doesn't matter if he loaded his gloves and hit a cow, a horse, a black man, a white man, a Filipino, Asian or anything or anyone. He was totally wrong and a disgrace.
