Cotto: Bigger man than Pac or Mayweather

Cotto kicks ass. Shane wasn't really close to his prime though. He's been past it for years, it's just he's become a shell recently.

Miguel Cotto is loved by his fans (like me) for being the consumate professional and always looking to enhance his legacy. While Pac and Mayweather have spent years "vacationing", being afraid of needles, and generally avoiding facing each other, Cotto has stepped up to both.

Before taking on Pac and signing up for Mayweather, he fought a near-prime Shane Mosley at 147 pounds. Not the old version like Mayweather or as a shell like Pac; he fought the real deal.

Cotto also took on Margarito when he was the most avoided man in boxing. Plaster and all, he gave us a show. He didn't "retire."

He's a little older now, not as crisp and he is a decided underdog. He knows it and he took the fight anyway. Drug testing and all.

So, when the fanboys of Pac and Mayweather wonder why guys like me love Cotto, it's simple. He's a bigger man than both of them.

Actually Shane wasn't prime when he faught Cotto. He was simply younger. I wouldn't compare the Mosley that PAC and Floyd fought as the same. PAC wanted no part of the Mosley that destroyed Marg, but Floyd took him on and was stunned of course, but went on to dominate. PAC took on Mosley when he was done and deep fried.

Cotto is true warrior and your story is nice and cushy, but Floyd by UD.
