I used to love rooting for Cotto from about 2004-06. He was a young PRican fighter on the come up and was knocking out guys left and right, how could I not like him? Then he started getting hit more in his fights and kinda dissapointed me, began to get REALLY overrated by PRicans, and then I met him and he was a total prick. After that it just got worse, I saw him hanging out and drinking all the time, all the gay jokes got ****** as ****, the drama with his family, his constantly saying that he was the best boxer alive, etc. I really wanted him to lose against Margarito and since then I've truly hated the guy.

Doesn't sound very much like the quietly spoken and mannerly Cotto, you never know though I suppose.

Cotto's a prick???

In interviews, he seems real cool and like a really nice guy.

But when you watch him interract with others, it's not that far off to think he's a prick.

I met the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of my favorite groups of all-time hands down, at the LAX airport back in the 90's, and Anthony Kiedis, their singer, was a f**king a$$hole. I still love the Chili Peppers though, and support their music no doubt. Fame changes you, I'm sure it has to.

Any examples? not really seeing it. But yeah, it's generally said you shouldn't get too close to your heroes as you may be disappointed. Don't meet Floyd 4C!

funny how most started hating the fighter after his fall from grace

yeah it's disturbing how many people turned on their favourite fighter for losing or because he 'disappointed' them in the ring, loyalty eh...
