Hate him or love him Miguel Cotto deserves respect.

[Lester Tutor]

Cotto's reflex to guard his face with one glove and move is entertainment. He just blocks as if it were intuitive without worry. He held it down vs Chop Chop quite nicely. Great chin throughout the years.

[bluebeam]

Cotto is one of the best from his era. That's non debatable.


He just doesn't have a signature win.

Margarito had one eye
Martinez had one leg
Mosley becomes the best victory on his resume due to the prior fighters circumstances entering their fights with cotto.

That's the only knock on cotto

Boxingscene trolls wont appreciate facts like this. They'll be flooding this thread faster then you can say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

The envy they feel and exhibit is actually hilarious. Especially when they act like Canelo and GGG have amazing resumes.


Comedy.

Canelo is on his way... Trout,Mayweather,Lara,Cotto...
Not bad for a young kid..he's another guy like Cotto who will fight anyone IMO.

[Earl-Hickey]

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.

He's a quitter so no he doesn't deserve respect. He's a mental midget who can't handle an even fight and folds under pressure

Damn, it must really cause gastric ulcers to hate someone so much who has been so successful at his craft as Cotto has.

Damn.....

Pointing out truth doesn't require hate, just a brain.

[Phenom]

He didn't fought everyone specially at 140 and 154 he deserves respect at 147 but he wasn't exactly cleaning up the division
Cotto had a decent career not a 1st ballet HOF or anything

A hater's truth is a wise man's folly.
