Why is Cotto not being called a Palooka, Patsy, Puto or a bum??

You're wrong. Miguel was hit with a similar shot that would of floored Ricky and he took it. Also, the shot that knocked him down would of also kayoed Ricky too. Miguel is not being called a bum because he went toe to toe with Pac for 10 rounds and didn't quit, people respect that. Ricky on the other hand has far less skills of a Miguel Cotto and was destroyed in pretty much the first minute of the fight. If Rick had a better chin and had fought with Manny for a longer period than lets say 1 minute then he wouldn't be considered a straight up bum.

Also Manny didn't play **** from the first round on. Miguel was winning many early rounds until he got caught at the end by knockdown. Without the knockdowns the fight could of easily been dead locked after 8 round, 4 to 4.

Because if it was Ricky Hatton who had been the one who was running from round 6 onwards he would have been called all of those things and more..... Look, I wouldnt share that view at all - the man was completley outgunned but didnt want to quit, fair enough I just though I would try to point out some of the double standards when it comes to fight fans(and I include myself on that in some situations).

Before anybody says it, yes I know Ricky was stopped in round 2(so would Cotto if he had taken that shot) but Manny played with Cotto from the end of the first round onwards. Although he dealt with Hatton in style I think it is also significant that Manny clinched Hatton on the inside to stop his bodywork whereas he clowned and took liberties with Cotto by using that straight armed defence and letting Miguel wail away on him.

Just my opinion....

Wait and see. They are thinking right now. They will drop out of Cotto's cold body and start hating on Cotto saying exactly the opposite of what they have been saying up to now.

Really his corner should have stopped it once Miguel made it clear he was just going to run. Cotto definitely didn't seem to have much a corner in this fight. The guy was simply in there with a much better fighter.

Thats because miguel comes at 160lb at fight night, if he was a true lightwelterweight he wouldv'e got knocked out by that uppercut in the second round just like ricky did.

why would you compare ricky hatton to cotto's running? is this thread about cotto or giving a fair shake for hatton? cause he honestly has no correlation to this other than them both fighting pacquaio...
