cotto vs trinidad

Tito wins, but I dissagree that people in PR are cold towards Cotto. The people love Trinidad for a few reasons; he gave great perfomances in the highest level of boxing, and he was a very humble person who truly fought for the people. The people had a connection with Trinidad the person.

With Cotto we have a great fighter, who also loves his country but is very reserved. They way people in Puerto Rico treat each fighter is in response to how they are, Tito was a loud friendly and outgoing character, so the crowd responded like that everywhere, and Cotto is a more quiet and easy character to which the people respond by shaking his hand, or with a simple greeting of "How's everything champ?' whenever they get the chance. But Cotto doesn't thrive in being cheered everywhere he goes.

When we add this up with the fact that Trinidad is consider the greater fighter than you have a group of people who will always prefer Tito, but that doesn't mean they don't like or think little of Cotto. In my experience everybody seems to love Cotto over here, they just don't scream it.

 

over here is like jordan and kobe

jordan came first, more humble and had bigger acomplishments

we like both but tito had something that when he won, people were celebrating like if PR won the olympics or something, with fireworks, parties and people in cars like a parade. That never happened with cotto and tito had more 1 punch ko power and we love ko's

cotto is the silent assasin and tito was the people's champ so there you go

however, i think that if cotto brutally ko's margarito, people here are gonna go crazy

and i heard that cotto sometimes ignores the people asking for pics or autographs, even children and cotto is a drinker just like hatton

tito never ever says no to a picture, he always does it with class

 

in a fight between the two, i see a tito vs vargas type of fight. cotto being competitive but gets destroyd later

 

Wow I'm first to chose Cotto 27:1 for Trinidad I just dont think that difference between those two would be as big as you suggest.Cotto KOWAR COTTO

 

Tito 3rd round KO

 

No way Tito is the greatest PR fighter ever, maybe in recent times but id rate Gomez,Ortiz,Benitez over him.. I agree though he is the most popular.

 

I'm not saying HE IS. Honestly I don't give a ****.

But if you go ont he streets of PR and ask people...anybody..whose the greatest PR boxer of all time.

I bet you 6 out of 10 would say Tito.

 

Tito would KO cotto at 147 cotto belongs at 140 i dont know why he ended up at 154.

Cotto is not exciting, that fight with mayorga was boring and if it wasnt for mayorgas antics the crowd wouldve been drawn to sleep.

Every fight tito was in was exciting and he did had KO power cotto KOs peopel through volume punching.

And you cant compare both resumes, tito has fought the best of the best while cotto hasnt.

And about the heart if cotto had titos heart he wouldve ko mayorga a lot earlier instead he was avoiding getting inside and trading with the guy.

And the last part about learning english is the stupidest thing i heard around the net. Nobody is mad at cotto for trying to learn english most puertorrican speak english and the ones that dont are trying to learn.

:hat

 

if you ask a bunch of high school kids, if not it'll be divided between tito, gomez and ortiz

:hat

 

I like them both, but Tito was on a another level.

 

The Trinidad that fought Vargas would KO Cotto in the first.

 

Because when he was fighting at 140 he was coming nearly at 160 on fight night.

 

Is has more to do with being lazy and not taking care of your body. When you are out on weekends drinking beer and eating anything you find in the streets late at night of course you are going to balloon in weight.

Cotto needed a nutritionist and some discipline early on but he was lazy and took the easy route and moved up.

I saw cotto when he was in the amateurs and he fought at 132 met him a couple of times in the airport and he was my height maybe a little bit shorter.

He couldve easily started his career at 135 then move up to 140 and maybe now after 30 yrs old move to 147 late in his career. But to do things like that you have to be very dedicated and he isnt.



:hat

 

Cotto would win the first half with his boxing, and then Tito cuts him down. TKO in the 8th, 9th. It would look similar to Trinidad-Vargas, but without the early knockdowns. Tito was always a slow starter, but Fernando's big mouth only ticked off the PR legend and Tito let loose in the first round. Tito too big, too strong, and too much firepower for Cotto.
