How did Miguel Cotto become a PR superstar? Thanks to Arum

[Robbie Barrett]

you didnt see any. which is exactly my point, so stfu.

How is that your point?

You said.

"Anybody who says they were watching live golovkin fights before the proska fight is a liar."

His fights were shown in countries around the world. You dumb ****. You think his fights weren't shown in Kazakhstan?

[Madison Boxing]

I kinda like fighters that are quiet stoic & cold. How could you say he has no victories over good fighters?
He beat;
-Zab, by ko (1 year after Floyd)
-Mosley (3 years before Floyd),
Malignaggi was the first to Beat him in 2006 (before Hatton (2008),Khan (2010), Porter (2014) & Danny Garcia (2015),
-Clootey (was a close fight due to Clottey head bunt that cause a nasty cut in his eyes early in the fight) which made him have to box & retreat. I'v seen other fighters quit with a gash like the one he had.
-by ko Mayorga
-by koMargarito
-by ko Sergio (no one wanted to fight Sergio bum knees & all)

Lost to:
-Mayweather by dec (no shame in that)
-Margarito lost by ko (great fight, eventually Margocheato was exposed cheating & so what he took a knee, look at what happen to Pritchard Colon.)
-Pacquia by ko
-Austin Trout by dec
-Canelo by dec (no shame in that)

So you say Cotto is ugly? ok then which fighter do you think is CUTE? LMFAO!!!
Arum is a good promoter, but I really think he has at times mismanaged Manny's career. Having him Marquez for a fourth time was a dumb idea. Having him fight horn another bad idea, having him fight Bradley for a third time was ridiculous. ungrateful to Arum? GTFOH!!!

zab- not a good win, lots of fighters have beaten zab easily, not a top fighter.
mosley- good win
malignaggi- average fighter, being the first to beat him doesnt mean he was ever anything but average. cotto really struggled too
clottey- limited B level fighter, pacquiao won every round against him, many thought clottey deserved the decision against cotto. was a struggle at the very least
mayorga- completely shot fighter
margarito- completely shot fighter
martinez- injured fighter who many thought lost to martin murray in the fight previously. His knees were gone.

cottos career shows many real struggles against B level fighters and he got whooped by the A level fighters for the most part, badly. WHen you stack up cottos career, the mosley win was the anomaly more than the trout loss was the anomaly.

[Mike D]

was on two cards with overa million ppv buys. headlined other ppvs, selling close to half a million against mosley, for example, whcih is super successful for anobyd not named floyd or manny.

Yes. This.

Overall he's had one of the most successful careers of his generation. Only a select few on a very short list have exceeded what Cotto has been able to do from a monetary standpoint.

[Mr. 29K]

Thank god Margarito exposed this bum.

[HarvardBlue]

He was a fearless puncher and had that charisma.

Tito had charisma? You don't know what charisma mean do you?

[Hype job]

I don't get the hate for Cotto, especially from guys that have never stepped inside a ring. If this was coming from a pro boxer (with a better record of course) then it would be valid.

[boliodogs]

He doesn't have the skills or the charm of Trinidad and he isn't as popular in Puerto Rico as Trinidad was. He is a big star in Puerto Rico because he is their best boxer. He was undefeated for a long time and his fighting style is pleasing to watch and exciting. He is a boxer-puncher who goes for and often gets the KO.

Cotto doesn't have charisma? LOL he doesn't need to be a loudmouth, he has a very memorable look and is no bore

This. He will never be Tito. Tito had the charisma outside of the ring. Cotto is very stoic and had a bad rep on the island for personal stuff. Even the Quintana fight I think a lot of people on the island wanted Carlos to win.

That being said people forget about how popular Cotto as before the Margarito loss. He ran through the competition at 140. Eventhough he was badly hurt against Corley and Torres he fought back and knocked them out.

How can you watch the Judah fight and ask why he's popular? Listen to the crowd, watch the style of the way he fights. This is a dumb question.
