Why does Miguel catch so much bad flack?

What are you talking about?

Miguel doesn't get **** from Mexicans because he's from the PR.

The funny thing is you think Mexicans don't like Cotto and the PR. I actually like and respect Cotto more than Margacheato.

I have my theory that Mexicans are still pissed that Cotto lost to Margarito, yet he still is a bigger star. What they tend to forget is boxing popularity is not an exact science and we reward fighters that show respect for others and the game. Miguel is a great human being and Mexicans shouldn't be pissed over past fights that haven't gone their way. If you can't let it go, then I can't either. Hit me up when Margarito is fighting in Dodger Stadium.

Maybe cause at one point, his fan based was one of the worst on the internet...Remember that?

majority of hispanics on this site dont like ricans and hate whenever they are given the chance. i know i will catch heat for that but just look through the threads with any rican fighter and it is clear as day.

Check - remember it goes both guys because a lot of PR members here are idiots who like to start racial ****.

I always see people bagging on Miguel and how would you feel if Margarito didn't cheat? Would you still respect Miguel? It's easy to disown Marg because he was caught but if he wasn't people would be praising him like the next JCC and calling Miguel the nastiest of names.

Compared to Pac and Floyd they are harmless.

I respect Cotto for fighting everyone win or lose.

He manned up, took a few ass kickings, but fought a murderer's row at welter.

He rates high for taking tough fights to me even though I think he might be past it now.

I always had respect for Miguel because he's a great fighter and he's respectful. I respected Miguel before Magracheato was caught and I'll always respect him for what he accomplished in boxing.

Cotto wanted to fight everyone even if he meant he could lose a fight. I'll always respect him for stepping up against the best.

I don't want you to think I don't like him because I always say on here he's damaged. I'm not hating on him... just stating he's not in his prime and Margacheato damaged him mentally and physically.
