    Exactly...so whats not to like? He does have a personality tho. He seems to be good fun around his kids and his best friends.

    Plus theres nothing to dislike him for in the ring either...absolute warrior..always gives a great fight...fought everybody...ducked no one.

    Miguel Angel Cotto:good

    Exactly! Who gives a **** if they cry. Very odd reasoning...

    :lol:I know THANK YOU! Many guys calling guys this or that would've done the same thin in the fighter's position. These internet warriors man, these internet warriors.......


    Cotto still fought on when Margarito had the tide his way and is a better boxer-type than Trinidad. I love both but prefer watching Trinidad go to work. Both exciting fighters and opposites and PR needs to understand that. That's like people throwing Holmes/Ezzard Charles under the bus because they weren't as great as Ali/Louis. So what? They were still great in their time.

    Agreed, BB. Many of these "so called" boxing fans would've succumbed to Margarito long before Cotto did.

    . . . Cotto is a real cool guy in and out of the ring, before and after the a fight.

    He still has a heavy accent but I was surprised when I saw this a few days ago.

    The blood dripping from his eyes in both losses were more than pure blood, sure some tears were in there!
    Although I do love Cotto.

    Cotto has not won against a premiere Mexican fighter like Tito did with ODLH-

    winning will get you a lot of fans- quickly.

    **** that. Tito was a real champ, Cotto won vacant belts and beat a one legged semite for his titles.

    And from what I heard he actually does speak english. But like most PR and Mexican born fighters they refuse to speak english in public because for some reason they will be look at as a "sell out". Never heard of such ignorance in my life.
