    Has Arum done a good job as Cotto's promoter

    Has Arum done a good job as Cotto's promoter ? Cotto has been thrown to wolves in a sense, he has fought the best available and some seem to think he has lost a bit physically due to the hard fights he has been in.

    Quintana, Margarito, Clottey, Pacquiao,

    No Cotto's career ends up this way regardless.

    ask cotto if he thinks bob hurt him when he bribed the judges against clottey...bob did all he could and im sure if he could have he wouldnt have let him fight margachito but like everyone else he simply didnt know till he got caught...other then that cotto has only himself to blame for his constant whoppings.

      What rounds did Clottey clearly win? And, I am not talking about close swing rounds. I am talking about rounds Clottey clearly won?

        Bob Arum did a great job promoting Cotto. And, Bruce Trampler did a great job in the matchmaking. Bruce is the best matchmaker in the business.

            I think Bob did a pretty good job with Miguel. Miguel was put in some rough fights but Bob got him all the big fights. The fight with Margarito was a fight both men wanted and it was a fight that both fan bases wanted. Getting a fight done with Pacquaio set Miguel up financially and that's all you can ask from your promoter. Sure, Miguel could of taken easier fights and kept an undefeated record but he probably wouldn't be very wealthy. It's on Miguel to get the job done and he wasn't able to do it in 2 of his 3 biggest bouts.

              Bob did a perfect job bringing Cotto up. Actually is one of the most perfect promoted careers.


              Arum brought him to 2 big fights that could have catapulted Cotto to the Mayweather/Pacquiao and he failed, not anybodys fault but his!!!!

                There's only so much a promoter can do for a fighter who doesn't have much talent.
