    Did Cotto make Pacquiao a Puerto Rican star?

    I live in Miami and there's a pretty big Puerto Rican population here..

    and one thing I've noticed about all Puerto Ricans is, no matter who they are or if they even like boxing or sports at all for that matter, they always watch their boys.. it was Trinidad before and Cotto now.

    That said, every single Puerto Rican I know and have talked boxing to, says Manny Pacquiao is like the greatest thing in the world(likely because he ****d Cotto) and they all say he's unstoppable- even against Margarito.

    Am I correct in my observation? Ricans?

        wow I didn't know that lol.. I though most ricans loved Cotto.

        What's Ironic is at the time, Cotto was my favorite fighter(even though marg ruined him with plaster) and though Manny's my boy, I was kinda rooting more for Cotto.

        And I'm filipino.

              Doubtful. They Booed Pac when they put his face up on the big screen at Yankee Stadium for the Foreman Cotto fight.
