Should Miguel COTTO get his SON into boxing?...Like, NOW!!

[Al Haymon]

I would continue to try and win as much money as I can so that my son could be a Doctor, a Lawyer or Entrepreneur or anything professional, so he would not have to be hit in the face by Steroid users, plaster cheaters and great fighters in general.

I'm not saying that he has to become a professional. I never understand how wealthy boxers' kids become boxers.

But just to, ya know, give the kid some "grit". Maybe a bit less focus on the perfect hair and matchy-matchy outfits.

My Doctor looks soft too, but with his salary Im sure he can have a bodyguard slap up his comp. or any threat.
I always go for brain over brawn.
But I do understand the idea of self defense and maybe I would have my son learn a bit of UFC fighting.

Not a good idea man.

You do realize that it requires more than being wealthy to obtain the certificates Doctors and lawyers possess right?

I simply meant that he would have the money to pay for the amount of years needed in College and such. I didnt mean he would pay for a career

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I'd take him to a playground and start instigating fights with the other kids

then in the middle of the fight, the kid takes a knee

This.

Cotto's family aren't like the Mayweathers. They're understandable when they talk. The Mayweathers would be washing my car if they didn't have boxing.

And, I say that it means even more that they took the one thing they could do and perfected it and made a mini-dynasty of it.

But you won't see that.

How did Mayweather make it into this thread? You SWF's are just too much.

Thats what Im saying..as Much as I love Boxing I wouldnt want my children fighting for a living.
Just ask Tyson if he feels it is more important to have a left hook or an intelligent mind.

Like you said ..the fact that they can fight saved them from poverty because they can barely speak English.

Because everytime they see your name they are always reminded of Mayweather. .

Maybe in the case of the Cotto kid, he should stick to boxing...

Try to just participate....or opt out.

Thanks, SWF.
