Cotto has become the first PR fighter to win titles in 4 weight classes and this could make him a target to hate on. Cotto is right though, Trinidad gave up and became lazy very young in his career, I think he was 29 when he lost to Hopkins. Cotto is 33 and just accomplished hos best feat and is still a champion. Not to mention the money Cotto will make once his career is done will be more than Trinidad made. If you asked me to choose who's career do I want to have, I would say Cotto hands down.
Cotto is very relate-able to those that aren't big talkers and get the job done through hard work and dedication.
I think Tito fell in love with his power just as much as Naseem Hamed did and thought it could carry them through any tough fight that they didn't "get up" for. Unfortunately for both, when those moments came, the power wasn't enough. Neither decided to go back and rededicate themselves.
What Cotto did with getting with Roach was a sign of a fighter still trying desperately to stay with the game and if anything, improve whatever he could because he noticed there hasn't been changes with all the other trainers he had. That's a great sign of a dedicated fighter.Comment

Honestly.....
As I've stated several times over the years, Trinidad and De La Hoya are better than Cotto. Manny, Cotto, and Ward are my three favorite active fighters. In a fight against either one of them, Cotto gets KO'ed. PERIOD. There has always been a little tension on Cotto's end against Felix because they are from Puerto Rico. What Felix said the other day, is correct. Cotto has the edge in experience but not the edge in youth or recent opposition. Canelo has fought the better competition the last 3 fights. The most likely scenario of this fight is that Cotto gets KO'ed by the bigger, faster, and hungrier fighter. I cannot wait for this fight. It will be good until he gets KO'ed.Comment

True, but also Cotto get's more hate because of his humble personality vs those that prefer the very outgoing, pound your chest, suped up country pride that Tito showed. Puerto Ricans are generally a loud expressive culture of people (I should know this being half), and Cotto is mostly the opposite of that.

LMFAO seems that way, I guess there is a reason they like him so much. Seriously the devotion of Cotto fans is unparalleled. Edit would green if I could.Comment
