Personality.....Miguel Cotto ain't got personality but that doesn't keep him from having been a hell of a fighter. Floyd Mayweather Jr's personality is toxic and he's a legend. Tex Cobb had plenty of personality but it didn't make him a great boxer. Hurricane Peter McNeeley had personality and he couldn't box. Naseem Hamed had personality (I guess if that's what you want to call all of that whole deal) and he's not considered a legend.


Personality is an ingredient. It can be good (SRL) or bad (Floyd). No, it's not the only thing..... but it helps. You're right about Cotto. But one thing that helped him was his learning English through a lot of effort, gaining him the appreciation of many Stateside fans.
