I like Miguel. I've never quite understood all the hate towards him. If Puerto Ricans on the island don't like him because they expect a " 'Tito' personality," that's unfortunate. Cotto has his own persona, and he shouldn't be expected to act like something he's not. As for people outside the Puerto Rican community: Successful people will always have their share of detractors. It comes with the territory. Once your success diminishes, the hate drops accordingly....
I agree...good post....I like Cotto ALOT but at one time I hated him....for the corny reasons young fans hate on boxers....yea I admit I was quite immature when came to Cotto....he was beating my favs....at one time Zab was my ride or die guy along with B.Hop and Shane....Cotto beat him down....he beat Shane...he beat Clottey....ALL my dudes took a L from him....I was pissed....I went to hater rehab got a prescription for some haterade and BOOM!!! ....I can see Cotto for the warrior he is....one of the few throwback fighters left in the game....dude wants ALL the BIG names...gotta love that!!!

No doubt,that man can take abuse like there's no tomorrow.
Everyone who achieves anything will be hated by the small minded for their success. Cotto is true warrior, but sadly he's just not the greatest boxer in a time of great boxers.
He's the Tommy Hearns of our time, he will most likely lose against the best of the best, but he'll always have the heart to step in there with them regardless of his chances.
Sadly it wont take long for the ts to turn this thread into a pr/mexico hatefest.
"All you have to do is ask them; go ahead, ask the critics. What have you achieved? I mean, you know so much about boxing right? What success do you have to back up what you have to say about me? What are you, what is your future, why haven't you achieved it? When they answer, that will tell you who they really are" ~Miguel Cotto
For every Rican that has quit, you have 5-8 Mexicans. You need to get off that myth son. It makes you look ****** and Mexican.
This is the state of Mexican boxing right now son. You've all gone phaggish.
I rather be ****** than a mexicant. Nobody wants them around, they should all move to AZ... The folks from AZ are smart over there. Poor mexi****s, nobody likes them, they have this complex of being ugly and inferior.
