If Cotto wins, would he finally get some respect in here?

He hasn't ducked anyone.

Would have beat Margacheato without his Lowe's Hardware wraps.

Fought a brillant fight against Mosley before Shane demolished Tony.

Beat a game Clottey.

I don't see how he earned all this hate.

I will say that some boris out on the island have hated him for shyt in the papers out there, but I have family out there who've met him and said he was nothing but cool and respectful.

im indifferent to cotto and i respect that he's the only fighter out there that's about his business while having the ability to create intriguing fights to watch..that balance..but dude got poor sportsmanship..everytime he's lost its been some salty bullshyt with him...margo, pac, floyd, trout.all bullshyt

He gets respect, but he just hasnt been "elite" since he was at 140 and is overrated

He hasn't ducked anyone.

He hasnt...you're right

No he wouldnt have. Margs is all wrong for Cotto and had Cotto on his bike, again, in the rematch before the ref/doctor stopped the fight. Margs was walking him down and got stopped in the 9th round by a "medical stoppage" even though he wasnt complaining or affected by it. Cotto was saved imo.

Fought a brillant fight against Mosley before Shane demolished Tony.

It was a good fight and victory for Cotto:obama:

Beat a game Clottey.

VERY close fight. That KD in round 1 gave Cotto the fight imo

I don't see how he earned all this hate.

Because, he's still hyped up and treated like a legend but since that Clottey fight, he's only 4-3 in his last 7 fights with losses to Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, and Austin Trout with wins only over Yuri Foreman, an old ass washed up Ricardo Mayorga, a Pacquaio demolished Antonio Margarito, and The Blue Meanie aka Delvin Rodriguez.....not exactly a good group of fighters at that point.

I will say that some boris out on the island have hated him for shyt in the papers out there, but I have family out there who've met him and said he was nothing but cool and respectful.

I've always given Cotto his props. I've always said he's done well with the skills he has. People always tried to compare him to Trinidad (which was bullshyt) but when you look at him, he's not great whatsoever at anything, but has still carved out a pretty good career.

I hate Margarito's bytch ass, but I think he woulda beaten him even without the wraps. Margarito's style is all wrong for Cotto. Miguel doesn't have the power to keep Tony off him, and he doesn't have the boxing abilities to keep away from him. Although in the rematch, Cotto fought alot smarter and didn't make the same mistakes he did in the 1st fight which helped him win the 2nd fight/

The Clottey fight is one I always find myself going back and forth on, but I think he narrowly escaped with the W.

I've heard different stories on him personally. I know there's somebody on Boxden that met and sparred with Cotto when that poster was just learning how to box. And that he was very nice to him. But I've also heard from other people who have come in contact with him, he wasn't very nice. I know somebody personally that told me that has met both Trinidad and Cotto, and he said that Trinidad was a great person to be around and was very friendly, but that Cotto wasn't very nice :yeshrug:

Dan Rafael chat wrap 6/6:

- Future for Donaire: rematch with Vetyeka, or unification with Walters or Gradovich.
- % chance Pacquiao fights someone from GB in November: 5%.
- He believes if Froch-JCC are serious that fight will get made before GGG fights either of them, as Froch-JCC is bigger financially.
- Most likely fight to take place between GB and TR: Donaire vs. Mares...unless Mares leaves for Haymon (still currently with GB, but going to arbitration with his manager to be released from his contract).
- Chances of Froch-JCC in Vegas: Great.
- Believes Mayweather has no interest fighting in the UK. He just says it to get the UK fans riled up.
- Official scorecards for Froch-Groves had Froch up by 1 point on two cards and Groves up by 1 point on one card, right before the KO.
- He ranks ODH as the better fighter compared to Tito.
- Pacquiao-Canelo is NOT happening.
- Estimate for Cotto-Martinez PPV: 500k.
- HBO is trying to get Caparello for Kovalev's next fight.
- TR fights are not shown in movie theaters, only GB fights.
- Al Haymon has a good relationship with Lou DiBella and Dan Goossen.
- Purses: Cotto's contract purse is $3 million, guaranteed $7 million, plus a part of the promotion. Sergio's contracted purse is $1.5 million, but he has a higher guarantee and a part of the promotion.
- One of the nicest guys he has ever dealt with.............Tim Bradley. #BradleyBunch
- When you see them in person, Sergio looks much bigger physically than Cotto.
