    Is Miguel Cotto the most fearless fighter in the past 10 years?

    Just look at all the tough challenges and opponents he's been in the ring with. Now he's about to move up in weight to challenge the King Sergio Martinez!

      No not at all..he just keeps losing to the best and is seeking the best payday like any other boxer. No knock against him but he is a diva just like the rest and is looking for good paydays.but since he keeps losing he HAS to take more risk

        No. There are these guys named Manny pacquiao, antonio wargarito, marcos wardana, and gennady warlovkin, I don't know if you've heard of them.

              He never called any one out, he just fought who Arum told him to fight. Arum put him in with some good fighters early, Mosley, Malignaggi, Quintana, Corley, Bailey, NDou, Sosa, Judah, and then in 2008-2010 he put him in against Margarito, Clottey Pacquiao, Foreman. Props has to be given to Cotto for taking on that pointless, risky fight against Trout, which I had a Draw. But make no mistake about the Martinez fight, sure Martinez is big, but it's a huge money fight. In fact the pay check is so big that it's only second to Mayweather from 154-160 fighters. Because of the cut he is getting, it is bigger than Canelo. I thought Canelo would be the bigger fight, but once I aw the details, that Cotto is getting a much bigger share than he would with Canelo, Martinez s actually the bigger fight for Cotto.

              Cotto-Martinez is a hybrid risky fight/big money fight. He'll make upwards of $10mill. I predict he takes about $15mill. Hopefully he wins because Canelo-Cotto has to happen while Cotto is still winning.

                It is smart for a guy like ggg who has not mixed it up with the very elite guys in the pro ranks to not fight an experienced guy like ward in his first fight in a new weight division.

                And ggg would fight anybody, he is a true warrior. Abel Sanchez has the main say in who he fights.

                Stop criticising ggg. It is cringeworthy. You may not like his fans but it makes you look like a hater when you spew out diatribe everytime his name is mentioned.

                    Cotto is great no doubt but I think Golovkin is just as fearless if not more so the way he fights. Kovalev too. Golovkin and Kovalev are the most fearless in my eyes. They know they have a limited time left and they want to get it done in the world of boxing now that they've reached this elite level.
