Bob Arum ruined Miguel Cotto

[heat27]

That's what promoters do...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[KittenFlaps]

Cotto wasn't ruined. You look back on this generation of boxing and you will always remember Miguel Cotto. He'll be mentioned on every fight you watch because he was constantly fighting the best he could find.

No one ruined Miguel Cotto. Miguel Cotto is the best thing a boxing fan could wish for in any generation.

I've been hearing this alot.

[ummmid]

He cashed in on Cotto way too early. And I believe that after the Margarito loss, Arum didn't care about Cotto nearly as much. He used him to make money, that's all.

word.

he tapped that tattooed ass multiple times and refused to spoon with him, not even once? bob is the devil i tell you.

Cotto fought on any circumstance he is the best p4p fighter in the world he fought within two years 7 fighter 5 of them are elites he never complainded or made any demands like Pacman of Floyd. He is the best.

Arum: Santiago might not have roachs expierience but I'm sure he knows cotto better than roach knew pacquiao.

this thread is a damn shame. a "boxing fan" complaining about a promoter actually putting his fighter in competitive fights where the outcome is not a clear cut choice either way.

PATHETIC

wtf???

Bob Arum guided cotto's career very nicely, he got him ALL THE BIG FIGHTS, multiple world titles, the best fighters available, a huge ppv star, millions of dollars....what more would you want your promoter to do!?

Duck all the opposition? Oh I see. So now all of a sudden the right path is to avoid tough fights i.e floyd mayweather & joe calzaghe. That's the path to glory

Exactly. Arum got Cotto all the big fights he could. The only one he could not land was Floyd. Cotto is now a very rich man.

Arum gave him everything on a silver platter. It was up to Cotto to win in those fights. He could not win them all, but man the guy got a ton of opportunities. He will also get more.

Anyone who claims Arum did him wrong does not have a clue what they are talking about.

Miguel just hit a plateau

Im surprised Cotto got so far before his stance got him into trouble which was inevitable imo.

You cant fight flat footed with all your weight on your lead foot and leave yourself open up the middle and not pay the price for it eventually.
