    Cotto(e) has already missed the boat to become extraordinary. Someone who went into survival mode the way he did beating an ATG would not be better for boxing. no, **** no

    I hope he wins; I have no emotional attachment to this fight, besides of course.. that I told people Mayweather will win, so I will look foolish at work if he doesn't.

    How the hell could you root for Floyd against Cotto? Floyd needs to lose. He needs to get humbled, and it'll be good for boxing; the myth will get busted and maybe fans will get the fight they want to see.

    don't you feel that Floyd is kind of entirely psychologically geared towards being considered "perfect"? If hatton contemplated suicide, I'd hate to think about the repurcussions of losing to someone who lost to ... his anathema.

    I don't want to see Floyd just another suicide statistic.

    Well there is nothing extraordinary about the path that Floyd has taken ..This fight is a couple of yrs too late ..If Cotto pulls it off it would be a great story for boxing,everyone loves an underdog ! Floyd being the favorite yet again does nothing for the sport if he wins ..We just get another crappy episode of 24/7

    Cotto(e) can't attract the crowd the way Floyd does. Underdog stories are corny and generic. We already seen that idealistic plot many times in them Hollywood movies.

    Better than Cotto(e) on 24/7. He can barely talk.

    Floyd all the way.

    I like Cotto, but Floyd is just too much of a lovable rogue to root against.

    It is nice to see him being nice to Cotto but his pisstaking of De Le Hoya in a dress and Ortiz looking like a model was in the last 24/7 was priceless.

    Floyd wins on points by quite a margin.

    Underdog stories are what make sports great ! Who the hell wants to see a favorite win everytime .It makes the sport stale ..This is why this sport suffers ..Unless Mayweather wins by a KO no one will be celebrating a win by decision from Floyd in yrs to come as opposed to Cotto pulling off the upset ! The Mayweather sequals have gone stale !

    Cotto is a manly mother ****er... I can't help but root for that man! Even during the build up to Margarito-Cotto 2.. I couldn't help but admire the man. I rooted for Tony because I've been a fan of his for over 10 years.. But still I have always loved Cotto!


    "Miguel Cotto is ready" "Miguel Cotto had a great camp" "Miguel Cotto will beat Mayweather" :rofl

    too many underdog tales in boxing already. not necessarily atg material.

    longevity on the other hand is the stuff of legendary atgs
