He took a beating from PlasterCheato and a vicious headbutt and hardshots from Joshua Head of African Teak Ivory Clottey.

All because he was willing to face the best and give the fans three greats fights.

All respect to Cotto.

that's his mutha***in job to fight the best.... is he floyd now?

Why feel bad for him? He's a fighter.

Cotto = Warrior
Floyd = Ducker

No, no. Not feel bad. Just feel as though damn; "can't he just have a straight tear up with someone not on steriods, wrapping their hands with plaster or headbutting you with an ivory head". The guy can't catch a break IMO in his big fights.

He wins = he robbed them
He looses = likely sceanrio they cheated

Wish there was more cottos on the sport

Cotto has not ducked a single person so I don't know how people hate on him all the time

**** happens in boxing. Cotto deserves credit for fighting through tough circumstances.

exactly. He goes about his business. Doesn't duck anyone. Doesn't like the attention or talk trash. He just fights whoever is in front of him.

Exactly, this is what I mean.

The only guy who you can say Cotto has not fought is the true champ from 140-175: Paul Williams (I actually believe Cotto would fight him in a heartbeat - Arum would NEVER allow that though). However, when your resume reads like:

Quintana
Judah
Mosely
Margarito
Jennings
Clottey

I think I will let him off the hook....
