Pretty classy of you to insult PR at a time like this.
That said, I'm not Puerto Rican. My great-grandparents came to the U.S. in the early 1900s from Eastern Europe.
The reason I'm a Cotto fan has nothing to do with his ethnicity. Based on what you post, I don't really expect you do engage in a thoughtful conversation, but I became a Cotto fan while watching him climb to the top. Fights against Pinto, Torres, Branco, Quintana...and then Judah and Mosely. It was his fighting style that I liked and the way he carried himself in those years - the fact that he let his fists do the talking and was respectful of his opponents both before and after fights. His decision to learn English (and to insist on speaking to the English-speaking press without an interpreter) was both smart and admirable. It showed character.
I was also a Margarito fan. After the first Cotto fight, I thought he was an indestructible machine. That view changed in January 2009, of course.Comment

I believe his eye is already at least 80% blind and he is paying off a doctor to say he can see. He gets hit now with shots he clearly doesn't see. Poetic justice! He is now literally taking the damage he tried to inflict on others with his plaster hands. The scumbag.Comment
