Cotto deserves more respect then he's getting

[Joe2608]

I haven't seen anyone hating on Cotto. Everyone's calling him a warrior and giving him props for hanging in there and how he kept on trying. He deserves a lot of credit.

cotto gets plenty of respect, vitali dominates every fight and he gets none

[Libido Sanchez]

Cotto made a mistake not having a good trainer, but he's definitely a warrior and he went to war last night. Much respect to both guys.

Nah, I think most people are giving Cotto respect after the fight. He did take Pac's best punches and continued fighting. Manny's speed and movements just proved to be more than Cotto could take that night.

Cotto was outgunned, but hes a hell of a fighter. He came in great shape and he was willing to throw down. Hes a beast in the ring, and hes a gentleman outside of the ring. He gave Manny hell for the first half of the fight and hes still one of the top guys at WW. Manny is just something special, Cotto has nothing to be ashamed of and anyone talking bad about him should go hang themselves.

Pacquiao out guns any fighter, but he was the stronger fighter too.
Cotto is a better boxer, but he can keep up in a brawl with
Pac. Pac is like the energizer bunny. Cotto showed everything except that he wasn't stronger than pac, that couldn't take pacs punches and his stamina.

Dont really think people are disrespecting cotto at all, I think we are allowed to celebrate a great fight and fighter in Pacqiuao and its just unfortunate that a nice fella like cotto is the victim nothing personal.

A few people are bashing him saying he ran the whole time

He was hurt after the second knock down. and you know his stamina is an issue, because he starts great, but he can't keep it up. Cotto was actually impressive in the first rounds. I couldn't believe how quick he was. But all along i knew that if Cotto couldn't hurt Manny he was done.

DO you think Cotto's a gentleman? His uncle might have done something to really piss everyone off.... the reason where gentleman Cotto got wild over...

[Uturn]

I see he is getting his fair amount of respect around here. However, their are some idiots i've seen on this forum sprouting how Cotto is a quitter blah blah! It's good to see he is getitng some credit though and people have come to terms Pacquiao is just a monster!

Cotto fights for the people of Rico and his fans. If only there were more people boxers like him and of course the great man himself Pacquiao! Both gentlemen...

I just cant believe Cotto couldnt really hurt him. I thought Pac might just be too fast for him, but Cotto was hanging with him he just couldnt hurt him. Mannys punch resistance is what I was most impressed with last night.
