    Saw Cotto in Orlando

    Was doing some shopping with the wife at the Florida Mall on black Thursday and was waiting to get my ride from the valet and my wife told me "Isn't that Cotto the boxer behind us?"

    I turned around and it was him. He was wearing a blue tank top was with his wife, two kids and some bald headed dude. He looked to be in great shape and what I did find odd was that he was advertising he was Miguel Cotto with his shirt and kids shirts (which had his name in the front) but seemed bothered when people approached him.

    I never approached him, I don't like to when they are with their families I find it disrespectful.

    Anyway, I forget how small welter weights are, he was tiny compared to me. He looks ready though for the fight. Can't wait to see it.

    Very cool, I would have done the same thing.

    But with the advertising himself thing....anyone who would be interested in talking to him would probably recoginize him immediately.. Boxing's just niche like that at the moment.

      You would be surprised as to how many people don't know anything about boxing. I just think if you are going to wear a shirt with your name across the front and your kids are wearing a shirt with it as well, don't be upset when people approach you.

      I will say this, when I yelled out to my sister and niece who were on the other side of the street in spanish he looked up. Now people were yelling in spanish all over the place but mine was the only Mexican accent in the whole place, I wonder if that's why he looked up?

              He's scarred of Mexicans, that's why he looked up.

                Haha, yea right. I didn't want to seem like a fan boy. If the man was solo or with some other men, then I would have approached him for a pic but when they are with their kids and wife, I feel bad. I just find it rude and don't think they want to be bothered and I was right because 2 people approached him and he wasn't too happy about it.

                  She probably deserved it.

                    He was probably thinking, "Damn I can't get away from these ***in Mexicans no matter where I go" hahaha

                    I respect Cotto and hope it's a great fight. Dude is a solid ***in fighter.
