1. "but then I’ve got charisma, where the people love me and are drawn to me.” Who the heck says that?
2. Tito wins that one in my opinion. He was a great in my book. That said, if you didn't love Cotto's body work, you are nuts!

It seems that Cotto got away from body punching when he started being trained by Emmanuel Steward. I don't know if he had an injury or something that made it hard for him to throw the left hook to the liver or what , but I don't think that Steward was a good trainer for Cotto. I like Emmanuel Steward , he was a great trainer , just not for Cotto in my opinion. Cotto was one of the best body punchers that I've seen before that. He wrecked more livers than alcoholism.

Trinidad would have massacred Cotto if both of their primes were lined up. But prime Benitez would have given Trinidad a boxing lesson.

I have a really hard time seeing anyone massacre a prime Cotto. Arguably, we never got to even see a prime Cotto because he was robbed of his prime by Margacheato and the bricks in his gloves.
Man , I really hate that cabron and his punk azz trainer too. I hope one day soon to take a massive dump on his grave.

Too big, to strong, too powerful. It took a prime great middleweight to stop Trinidad. While Tito was dropped at 147, he was never badly hurt. Cotto was hurt by smaller guys. Trinidad would have disconnected Cotto from his senses.

Speaking of Puerto Rican fighters, no one will EVER and I mean EVER see a faster fighter at 130 than Camacho, he was pure lightning!! After 130 things went downhill for him after 130 as far as losing some speed and other things, but at 130 he was the fasted man alive in boxing!!!
