    Last I heard was that a Pavlik vs Trinidad was going to be scheduled. Tito wants to fight for the fame not money. There was a time people were throwing Cotto in his face that Cotto is a much bigger star than Tito ever was. Alot of boxers come back for the glamour and fame, the cheers of the fans. Sometimes it is not about the money. Holyfield is an example. He has more money than his grandkids could spend, but he misses the attention.

    Oh just shut the **** up. Tito has a chance b/c he is a great body puncher. But if JT just sticks to his jab and double jab he could beat tito easily. Tito does have a chance to get him out of there late but is not likely.

    Trinida is practically KING of PR, it always seemed they threw Trinidad at cotto rather than the reverse.

    Cotto has always downplayed it and done his thing and thats :cool: Both are great PR fighters. IMO? Cotto's better but time will tell if thats true.

    Your correct, it went both ways and yes Cotto has downplayed the taunts. Cotto still has a long way before he catches up to Tito. Tito at 147 and at 154 were much more exciting, but like you said, time will tell. Cotto could end up at 154 in the future.

    I was a huge Tito fan, the whole way and he was tremendous at 47.
    However? Cotto has shown more boxing ability and if he beats PBF? He'll surpass Tito at 47 IMO.

    I never understood why PR fans would pit one vs the other? Both are great men who carry themselves well. I salute both:good

    Though Tito is nuts for tarnishing his record anymore.

    I agree with you again. I never did like pitting PR's against each other, but we need to find out who is the best. I know everyone is dying to see Cotto vs Floyd, but that is a tough fight. Cotto gets tagged too much and Floyd is so much faster and accurate. Cotto has a hard jab and some very strong rights, but Floyd is not going to stand there and get hit. I would like to see Cotto win and humble Floyd so that Floyd can get off of that cloud he is on. We will see.

    William Joppy should ref. It would be hilarious watching him flinch everytime one of them threw a punch.

    Cotto's speed is under rated IMO. I give him decent odds of upsetting Floyd. Lets just hope PBF mans up and takes the fight.

    We shall see.............................:good

    If Tito fight like he did in the Jones fight, it won't be easy for Taylor. I still pick JT by UD though.
