    BTW the translated subtitles are 100% correct with the occasional slight tweeks to a few words which was done by a huge Cotto fan... Enjoy hearing what Cotto says in Spanish as he expresses himself 500% better than he does in english and his thoughts are not lost in the translation :smoke :good

    Intereting interview. Even in his native tongue, Cotto seems resolute in not looking past, in any way, the immediate objective: defeating Margarito. He lets everyone else conclude what they will from both the build up to the fight and the aftermath when one will be victor. That's a refreshing attitude from a fighter.

    While I commend him for taking steps with his English in an attempt to increase his marketability with Americans, it is clear that he is more comfortable and decidedly more charismatic in Spanish. If he were able to direct some of these rather witty comments at Floyd Mayweather, rather than Kermit Cintron, then things might be further along relevant to a potential bout between the two.

    Miguel Cotto is a very very intelligent man, Just the fact that he has attempted to pick up English in a few years shows it. When he speaks in his native tongue he is nothing at all the way he is when he speaks English. I find it that he tries to be nice somewhat when he speaks english, but when he speaks in Spanish he is very very up front with everything he says. I have seen several interviews in spanish with him, and he is very stone cold serious. (even moreso than he already is shown)...If he could communicate in English the way he does in Spanish then things would be different.

    I agree. He comes across as a bright guy and is well reasoned in his responses. I especially enjoyed his quip about how he would not have signed the contract to fight Margarito if he did not believe he could withstand his punching power. You're also correct about his exceptional pace in acquiring English proficiency. His speaking is more passable already, in my opinion, than someone like Pacquiao.
