[did you know]roberts garcia recalls turning down offer to train miguel cotton

[puro dinamita]

Because he is an arrogant douchebag. He acts like a total diva in public. I have seen people ask him for photos and he straight up looks at them and keeps walking away. And being a little bish ass coward doesn't help either.

Tito on the other hand, is the people's champ. He loves spending time with people. After the second Juanma-Salido fight, was taking pics with everybody, sharing laughs and stories with all the fans around him. Juanma is just like him as well, both very humble and down to earth.

I used to be a Cotto fan regardless but his diva ways are too much.

this i can agree on man i use to be a fan of this fighter but he thinks he's too good for anyone the dude is a *****

I'm compelled to respond to this, too. I've been around Cotto a lot in the past. I used to train at Evangelista's gym in my teen years. He was always nice to me. Shy, perhaps, but I never felt disrespected. In fact, I remember that one time I was about to leave for the day, and then I turn around, and Cotto's sort of shadowboxing, headed in my direction. It was a cramped spot, by the ring, so I just stood still to avoid disturbing him. Instead of just going past me, he shook my hand, and even sort of jokingly hook-slapped my shoulder. That opened my eyes in terms of understanding him more. He just has a different personality, but he's equally as nice as any other person. That's all there is to this. Another time, I somehow bent the metal which holds the double-end speed bag, and he fixed it for me. He was never a "diva."

This is plain ******. Who gives a f***?? REally?

Cotto always trained hard, he only had problems with this uncle for personal reasons. Other than that he kept good relations with his trainers. even his nutritionist that posed as a trainer for the PAc fight.

Soo, you are a trainer and you will pass the oportunity because of what???

Not taking pictures with people and that BS. Grow up kid.

Cotto is the Top 3 name in boxing, ****** to not consider it. and it was clear it was Top Rank who ask him not Cotto.

Unless you believe in the PR vs Mex rivaly which only exist in gangs wars in the US and boxing fights. Other than that is all good, as we are all Hispanics.

Oh really? Then how come in your post below....

I'm from Ponce, born and raised, ask the mods to check my IP. I can take photos to prove it, plus I have numerous photos-videos of fights/press conferences I have gone to (Juanma-Salido II, Rocky-Salido, Danny Garcia-Herrera etc). But that's really beside the point. I am not your typical Rican though, I am from the americanized/modern sector. I don't watch local channels, neither am I connected to our culture much, that's why its easy for me to not feel attachment to the roots. I look more european than your typical PRican as well.

The jibaros here are the only ones who don't know how to speak english. Most educated people know english to some extent, at least at my college (Sagrado). I don't know about the UPR because all the broke jibaros end up there.

I would take a knee in front of Cotto for the lolz and then knock him the **** out Marquez style if he gets ******.

You seem like an arrogant, even BIGGER douchebag??

Well...he lost out on a huge payday

Your first hand accounts are night and days difference with the other dude. Yours is actually believeble, where the other just sounds like TMZ on it's period.
