Comments Thread For: Trinidad: Canelo Has Most Advantages, Beats Cotto

[ea22]

Not often that you see a rican in the bay area, but a rican once came up to me while I was at work, noticed my TMT hat and we engaged in a conversation about boxing, and he told me he was Rican. He mentioned that the biggest difference between Tito and Cotto is that Tito always gave back to the community and was always lively with his fans and gave them his time. What he told me about Cotto is what I had suspected the whole time. That he is a selfish arrogant diva and does not care about the fans as much as trinidad did.

I have also heard this, and lol TMT hat.

haha how old are you?

22, Why does it matter.


I saw someone who was wearing a shirt with this logo and I initiated a boxing related conversation with the guy who had this logo on the shirt.



He happened to be related to Virgil Hunter.

Now what I asked him about was the rumors about Mayweather vs Berto and he said from what he knew, that those rumors sound legit.

According to who?

According to winning a title in 4 different divisions and being the only PR to do that. He succeeded where Tito failed. He also came back from his losses, Tito fell off after his losses. Tito had better power, a better chin and that's really about all Trinidad does better than Cotto. Both of those things you are generally born with, Cotto still has a lot of power but he's a much better athlete and boxer because of it.

So basically, who had the better PR team... Well Cotto's had the better career and actually has money, Tito just sounds bitter as **** he was with Don King.

No one gives a **** about a PR Team. Mayweather has a better Public Relations team than anyone in the sport of boxing.

I honestly think that Cotto's career accomplishments have put him parallel with Tito for contemporaries. Cotto replaced Tito as today's top talent from the island and that takes away from Tito - even if its glancing; nobody talks about Tito because Cotto is currently the top dog of the island - and I think that's honestly all that its about.

Juanma couldn't stop slurping on Tito's nuts - and Juanma was never going to endanger Tito's status as the boxing golden boy of PR - because frankly he sucks and he shamefully ducked Caballero openly and that turned folks away. He was talking about money and stuff and his claim to fame at that point was dispatching Ponce.

Calderon - who if we are speaking objectively was probably one of the most gifted fighters, not just on the island, but in the entire world over the last 15 years - his talent was sublime and he was small and every guy he fought had a size/reach/power over him and he beat most of them effortlessly in his prime. It took a young bull to beat him at the age of 36 - but since Calderon wasn't knocking anyone out; he was in no danger of garnering mass appeal other than hard cores - so Tito's status was never endanger by Calderon.

Jealousy man - that's all that is; and for what - I think Cotto was a big Tito stan just like everyone else

He to me is like Sergio Martinez - who was upset Cotto didn't slurp is ballsack in some HBO meeting one day and he's been butt hurt ever since. I'm willing to bet that one day them two met in a public setting and when Cotto didn't bow to the almighty Tito, he got hurt like an ex-girlfriend and never recovered

yea i love tito but his saltiness reeks a bit of jealousy

The worst fans though. You admitted to wearing a TMT hat bro, while admitting to working at Sport Chalet or whatever... Maybe you think the M means management? Then I could understand but you're nowhere near the money team man.

None of your stories ever make any sense

All I know is that I met Cotto roughly 7-8 years ago by chance at a sports pub in Atlantic City; following the Gomez fight - he was non-descript and was with a few guys, not garnering attention - trying to remain low-key; he went up to the bar to get a drink and I walked up to him, I congratulated him on the win and told him I was a big fan - he smiled, shook my hand and said thanks for the support and then spent a minute or two; told him I watched the fight with my wife, who was with me. He said we were a great looking couple and then he went on with his business. That was that.

He was pleasant - I suppose he could have been a ****; but he was super cool.

These fools who think he's arrogant are probably trying to be obnoxious and he's not about that clearly.

He gives back to his community - way more than Trinidad. He owns multiple businesses that provide jobs and he's becoming one of the biggest promoters in the island with alot of young talent - he's much more supportive to boxing in PR than Tito ever is.

Ryan, the same INFORMATION has been posted several times in the past month! What is the point of sharing something that's already bee reported several times?

YOU ALREADY HAD AN ARTICLE with the video of your interview posted on this site, why is there a need for another article talking/milking about the same moment?

Here is a link to your INTERVIEW WITH HIM already posted: http://www.boxingscene.com/video-fel...-canelo--94470

Here is ANOTHER ARTICLE where he says he would KO Canelo to you: http://www.boxingscene.com/felix-tit...rez-out--94446

The problem here is this trend of breaking one moment into a thousand stories with every little quote they give and recycling it.

the video about Tito ko'ing Canelo was separate. That video was taken an hour after the other one

The video still might be out there of Cotto and Mayweather doing their MGM arrival or whatever they do for every Floyd fight. Floyd was interacting with the fans and being great as he usually is. Cotto blew off a few fans you can hear some of them offended by it... He's a **** at times, he's just anti-social or akward... whatever you want to call it. He was fat as a kid, he was probably bullied and it made him wan to become a fighter, that changes your attitude.

But people need to understand, like I do, his job isn't PR it's boxing. People can brush off Floyd beating women and appreciate the fighter, but if you aren't nice or not good on small talk, they can't.

Cotto has had a better career than Tito. Tito's comments, although he has a right to them, have understandably been viewed by many skeptically. There comes a time when everyone is surpassed. He needs to accept it. What will he say if Cotto wins? It's easy to say you'd knock everyone out. There's a difference between saying it and doing it. Every time Cotto lost, even when suffering what could've been a career-ending, illegal assault at the hands (wraps) of Margarito, he picked himself up and made a comeback. Tito could never handle defeat. That's a huge difference between the two fighters. Instead of retiring and saying he could do something, Cotto has done it. Miguel Cotto is the undisputed, lineal middleweight champion of the world. And that is something Tito never accomplished.
