Hate him or love him Miguel Cotto deserves respect.

[Vasyl’s dad]

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

Great, now point out the hater. There are clearly none here.

[Outworn]

I love Miguel Cotto but not in a gayish way


"Miguel Cotto will do what Miguel Cotto wants to do when Miguel Cotto feels like doing Miguel Cotto's favourite things to do" what Miguel Cotto might say..

Post 26?
"Mental midget"?
"Doesn't deserve respect"?

There's a few others.
The question was too easy.

[Lester Tutor]

I think Cotto will win split decision.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

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.

I agree. He had fought everybody and in their prime for the most part. Very good read. I am lukewarm fan of his I guess, but he has fought everybody.

It's these new era young school boy fans that think they know boxing but ruin the sport pulling out the YouTube search channel to watch 2 or 3 tapes of a fighter and quick to call em bums.

Respect to Cotto. I can't name a boring fight that he has been in. Every opponent that he fought has taken a beating, other than Trout, who didn't blow Cotto out either. Mayweather took punishment, Pacquiao had his ear drum blown out in their match, and Marg took a beating in their first fight even though Cotto lost. I am sure Canelo fight will be fireworks...Cotto gives the fans their money's worth. No PEDS, no plaster, and no excuses...and to top it off Cotto is usually the smaller man vs his opponents. He is a pitbull in the ring!

Good factual thread. Cotto haters are some of the most pathetic bunch.

[Kuyukut]

cotto is a real warrior and he is exciting to watch inside the ring.

he is a kind of fighter that i really like to watch.

[creekrat77]

Cotto fans laying their cards on the table and cashing in on Cotto's standing legacy? Is this really happening?
