Miguel Cotto- amount of love in PR and around the world

Que hay Triguenito? I don't know about PR, though I have heard Boricuas say he's kind os stuck up. Maybe it's just that he's more reserve than other fighters from La Isla. I would say he does get respect throughout the world. He's got heart, and has an entertaining style. I like Cotto, but do feel he's seen his best days. I don't know what Steward can do to recharge his career but we'll see against Mayorga, who apperantly is going to be his next opponent.

Personaly I would like to see a rematch against Margarito, being they both got destroted by Pac and to clear the air about Margo being loaded in their fight.

 

everyone loves cotto...it's impossible not to

 

What he said.

He is everything a fighter should be.

 

Not only that but remember when Cotto said to team Pac, that he would fight at their catchweight of 145. but he wasn't going to put his belt on the line being he won the belt at a legit weight of 147. Freddy Roach threw a fit and eventualy Arum had to pressure Cotto to follow suit.

I guess Arum returned the favor and gave Cotto fist dibs at Yuri Formans title, feeling guilty maybe.

 

There's nothing wrong with not going around shouting and talking nonsense.

I mean I like trash as much as the next guy, hypes up the sport and grabs attention, but its refreshing when someone like Cotto just does it in the ring.

I personally love the guy, in a non-literal, the way a man loves his dog kind of way.

 

i love cotto he is the man!!!!

 

Boxer's are looked up on here in Puerto Rico. Many people seem to lose respect when they see the island's icon drunk and hooking up with different women. But he really is admired for what he's done in the ring and because he's willing to fight the best. I personally don't care much for what his life style is outside the ring, but some people can't see him the same way.

 

hes not admired has much as tito in pr but hes respected none the less, he does well from him self owns a casino has a couple of gas stations started cotto promotions, he is more conservative he keeps to himself and is about his family. he is not very loud or outspoken and hes been this way since the beginning, outside of pr i can tell u that many people know him just by looking at his ratings. besides pac and mayweather cotto is the biggest draw in the US and by the looks of it on eastsideboxing he is definitely the most respected boxer around right now. hardcore cotto fans as myself are always wishing the best for him hoping he gets back on top to where he was right before the margarito fight,will we ever see that again, 2011 should answer that.

 

agreed! 2011 is make or break for cotto!

 

agreed.
Also, it was very hard for him to come out of tito's shadow among pr fans.

 

:think why do you think JuanMa never really had a problem steppin' out of Tito's shadow?

Well, One can say because Tito pretty much supported him. Then the better question would be... Why did Tito support JuanMa and not Cotto?

I had heard Tito always praise JuanMa and even say he would be the next Puerto Rican star, but was always low key when asked about his opinions on Cotto.

 

Im a fan of cotto what he does for boxing and his courage, how can anyone not be a fan? same **** made me a fan of carl froch this year.
