Hate him or love him Miguel Cotto deserves respect.

[Barcham]

Cotto lost my respect when he became the catchweight champion of the world. He can only get it back by defending his MW title at the full division limit. As Canelo is going to destroy him, catchweight or not, Cotto will never fight at the 160 limit and get the chance to redeem himself in my book.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Cotto had respect back in his hayday but nowadays he is looked upon as a coward. Since the first Margarito fight he Career has been built on handicap fighters, No names and Passed Prime fighters. Every legit non handicap in their prime fighter he faced he lost too, Pacquaio,Mayweather,Trout and everyone else he beat were either A) Handicap or B) Shot fighters or C) No names.

Cotto to be is just a no none sense type of guy..#RESPECT

[Punker]

He's a rare breed of fighter who's always fought the best guys.

undefeated Torres

Undefeated Pauly

undefeated Quintana

Mosely only lost to Winky and Forest prior and years before Floyd and Manny fought him

prime Margarito in 08

Clottey who only lost to Margarito the 10 years prior to their fight

prime Pac in 09

Margarito again in 11 getting revenge

Mayweather in 12

undefeated Trout at 154 in 12

Martinez who was done but he destroyed him..

Now a prime Canelo in 15

Say what you want but the guy fought everyone from 140-147 and Martinez and Canelo.

If you can find a guy who fought better fighters in their prime in this generation I'd love to hear it.. You don't have to win every fight to get the respect of real boxing fans..

Got a feeling in 10 years I'll be able to replace Cotto's name with Canelo when he reaches the end of a great career.

Dude your in boxing f.cking scene man. People here hate Cotto. When Cotto beats up Canelo worst than Floyd did there will be meltdowns, heads will roll that day.

Anyone who doesn't respect Cotto has their thong far too up their ass or isn't a real boxing fan. If you dislike how much hype Cotto gets...fair play, Cotto is a top guy in the sport & as such has many insane fans like the other top guys. So feel free to not respect the fans, but you gotta respect the boxers.

yup i agree

I don't respect quitters. He quit and took a knee before a Mexican, that's just humiliating to me as a Puerto Rican. He shamed our island.

Dude you shamed our island (if your really PRican) the minute you hopped on GGG's rod and began to ride it hard. Oh did I just request a red k from you? Oh well.

[bigjavi973]

Great post!

Dont forget about the early fights he had against guys who had more experience & he beat them fairly easy.

[Fantasiabruja]

And throw in the fact that just about every single one of his fights have been action packed exciting fights, you got to have nothing but respect for the man. Even his re-tractors are looking forward to his fight with Canelo.
