Cotto may never be the same

[TitoFan]

How do we know that he has a strong "character"?

I dunno... depends how you define "character" in boxing. If you define it as someone who is dedicated to the ring and sport and always gives his all in the ring... if you define it as someone who does not need to trash-talk anyone, but rather let's his fists do the talking... if you define it as someone who takes on all opponents they put in front of him... if you define it as someone who refuses to make excuses when he is beaten... if you define it as someone who comports himself with class in and out of the ring...

Then yes... IMO, Cotto would qualify as having a strong character.

Does any of this help?

Ok you just described every fighter that is competitive in the sport, except for the trash talk part, so if they all have character what makes Cotto so special? and why can he bounce back from this one and Jeff Lacy not bounce back from from his loss to JC? Maybe its not that Lacy couldnt bounce back maybe it was like some other posters have said in the past about him, maybe he got "found out"...maybe Cotto got "found out" I'm not saying that specifically but the argument could be made for it.

(patient sigh of exasperation)...No Onix, I DIDN'T describe every fighter who is competitive in the sport. Geeez, you and Chino can wear a guy out with your non-sensical anti-Cotto rantings. Lots of competitive fighters out there: 1) blatantly duck opponents, for whatever reason (ie: Oscar and Margarito), and 2) make all kinds of excuses when they're beaten. So you see... you're wrong right off the bat.

As for Cotto getting "found out"... found out about what?!?!? That he's been a bum all along?!? Get a grip, for chrissakes.

You know, for not wanting to be a "dick"... you're walking a very fine line.
