Miguel Cotto fought everyone in their prime and he was clean the entire time. He deserves more!

    Cotto is a fine fighter and man. Always said if I had a son who boxed I would want him to go about his business just like Cotto. Very honorable type of fighter. He would have beaten Hatton at 140 of that I am certain. I wish he had not accepted Pacquiao at a catch weight if 145 pounds. I know he would have beat De La Hoya and definitely Margarito without the loaded gloves in the first fight.

    Shards, you shouldn't have given her them shards. "Shards" is meth, "rock" is crack. She was thankful for the free meth but still didn't feel obligated to perform you any favors. She said if I saw you that I would understand.

    He beats Margo no doubt, but DLH gets him, DLH would've given him the Vargas treatment.

    Possibly to be fair though Cotto had more ring intelligence than Vargas which is what let Vargas down in a fight he could conceivably had won.

    Cotto had a great career that anyone would be proud of. That said, he lost me on two things.

    1. He completely ignored Maravilla at his peak. He only agreed to fight him when he knew his knee was shot.

    2. Running out of the ring when he lost to Austin Trout. This reflects badly for two reasons. First, he didn’t require immediate medical attention that would prevent an in-ring postfight interview. Second, Trout seems like a real respectful dude. Therefore, I don’t think there was a level of animosity between them that should’ve made it impossible for Cotto to give his thoughts.
