Just got back from the Cotto/Rodriguez presser

[ElTerribleMorales]

Should be a good fight, both guys looked in shape and Cotto seemed more upbeat than usual, pics coming soon

Cotto should feel upbeat he should have a win on his record from his back to back defeats.

He is no Tito but he still represents the Island

Cotto does not need to be Tito because he's done carved out his own legacy.

He is actually the better boxer who has fought the tougher competition throughout his career.

Don't agree but I don't view it as an insane statement.

Am I in the twilight zone ? Are we talking about the same Tito Trinidad The same tito who set a WW record for title defenses, the same Tito who fought six strait champions and knocked out 4 of them Where am I

Absolutely true. Tito was an entertaining power puncher but any time he stepped up against a legit boxer he got his ass handed to him. Cotto could adapt to styles and he hasn't ducked anyone.

Tito was a better welterweight and light middle, he would have destroyed Cotto.

I disagree that Cotto dominates Rodriguez. What has Cotto done at junior middleweight? Rodriguez performed as well as Cotto against Trout. Has Trout predicted a winner in the fight?

Legit boxers? Come on, Tito lost to 3 great fighters, 2 of whom were well bigger than him and all better than anyone Cotto ever beat needless to say. A prime De La Hoya would've messed Cotto up at welterweight, I don't even get how anyone can think differently. I would agree that Cotto is the more rounded fighter but he was not better and certainly not greater than Tito, this is nonsense.

I think you nailed it, but then again... I'm biased.

Still, I have a lot of respect for Cotto. His adaptability to different styles... his willingness to fight ANYONE and EVERYONE they put in front of him... hell... even the way he taught himself English and went from not being able to say two words, to holding his own in an interview. All these things make me proud to say that Cotto is from my little island and represents it well.
