Anyone else feel sorry for Cotto?

[fenixbb]

I was crushed to see Cotto losing to Pacquiao , Cotto always accepted all demands but his Corner couldn't help him in the Margarito fight to find the plaster etc the new corner couldnt train him against Pacman and he made a mistake to accept the 145 catchweight. The reason why Cotto moved up in weight from light weltherweight to weltherweight was because he couldn't make the weight anymore go and take a look at the Cotto vs Demarcus Corley fight SkyVersion there you will find out that Cotto failed several times to make the weight at the weigh in. But in my eyes Cotto is still one of the best fighters in the world because of his heart toughness etc.

Nah, that's Boxing for you.

He's fought the best, and lost to a known cheat and lost to the #1 fighter int he world.

Truthfully, I think he gets too much flack for his losses. Dude is still a problem at 147 IMO.

Co sign!! Plus he could of Won the Pac fight with a decent game Plan, and a good trainer.

Notice that the only times he lost was because he was traning himself, and he was figting elite fighters

Cotto had the right tools for Pac , but bought the wrong plan, trainer and mentality IMO

Yeap, indeed!!

How the fuck am I supposed to feel sorry for him? The dude has millions of dollars in the bank from what I understand. That's what will happen when Bob Arum pays you $3 million to fight guys like Michael Jennings, Alfonzo Gomez and Yuri Foreman.

A guy like Glen Johnson who made peanuts in his last fight on ESPN and will make peanuts against Tavoris Cloud is someone to feel sorry for after he fights everybody that we want him to fight bar none. And Cotto did for the most part too, but it aint like he didn't get spoiled with big paydays against some ho-hum opponents. One thing Cotto did in his prime was fight three times a year though. I can't sneeze at that even though there are some things I criticize Cotto for.

But that is a great sig you have TS.

Iv got alot of respect for Cotto. He fights the best out there (...and Gomez and Jennings aswell !), but hasnt ducked anyone, or made any demands in fights. Just gets on with the job, like fighters of the past.

He's gracious in defeat, and never uses any excuses. Most fighters would have never stopped complaining if it was them in the Margarito situation ( and probably rightly so) but Cotto hardly ever brings it up.

coulda, woulda, shoulda...all are assumptions and you need convincing explanations to be valid. otherwise it will just be considered as a poor mind's logic.

He had a perfect career up till marg brutally beat him; arguably with loaded gloves, the beating he took was saddening in my eyes..then in order for a juicy pay day he steps in slightly drained (there's no way he was looking his usual self) n takes a beating from a much greater opponent in PAC..then his pops dies...on top off this u never hear him bitching or moaning about anything n quietly gets on...
Ofcourse he's got paid good, but u gotta feel for the guy from what he was to how he is now....yeah/no?

rubbish, every1 was saying he was looking awesome before the fight. why has there always got to be an excuse?

he couldnt have beat pac even if his fat mate was the ref and he had the best trainer in the world. he just isnt at that level, but then again, who is?!
