Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Slams Critics Calling For Him To Retire From Boxing

I never thought Cotto Would fight for this long. He's one of my favorite fighters of the past generation.

You forget this dude came up at the same time as guys like Ricky hatton and Vivian Harris.

I never really felt Cotto loved the sport enough to fight this long, but clearly he does.

funny you mention Vivian. He just lost a decision last week to chop chop corley. I feel like its 2006 again haha

That's really sad tbh. Boxing is an unforgiving sport. Will never forget when Maussa starched him, that was such a odd fight, Maussa fought like a cartoon character, I think that was on a Cotto undercard?

I remember when the majority of boxing fans thought Vivian would KO Cotto.

I remember at that time Emanuel steward had a long line of fighters who all had great right hands crosses, which is pretty rare.

Dude really fell in love hardcore with fighters who had great right hands. I think Lennox Lewis and hearns success caused this, but Emanuel was ded obsessed with that punch. That was pretty odd. Most of them ended up sucking.

Joey Gamache was working with Emanuel around that time. Joey trained fighters at my gym in the city. But my original trainer back home, suspected that the reason all of emanuels fighters kept unacheiving was because of Joey, and for that reason I never trained with Joey even though he asked me to.

now theres a name I havent said out loud in a long time. That dude was something else.

And if I remember right, there were people after the Harris fight talking about how Maussa would whip Tszyu, Hatton, etc..... too funny.....

I was real close with Johnny Bos the last 4 or 5 years of his life. He never really got over that whole Gatti-Gamache weigh-in thing, and him basically being exiled from NY......

Cotto has earned the right to do whatever he wants. He fought literally every challenge of his era except for maybe Paul Williams.

He's doing what he always does after a loss, taking an easy fight for a vacant belt. Jennings, Foreman, Rodriguez.

Most likely his fight after that if he wins will be a tough matchup because that's what he's always done.

Not if he's charging 60+ for PPV fights.

Cotto only takes two types of fights

1) Bums, who he easily beats

2) Elite fighters who whoop him but pay him a lot

He never fights in that middle ground

How about Austin Trout? That was a high risk low reward fight and look how that turned out.
