Fights with his heart on his sleave, is a massive puncher, can fight 12 rounds in a war - has a suspect chin so there is always going to be twists and turns and an action packt fight when ever he is in the ring - there is no reaosn for you not to like him unless he badly beat a guy you love!

buthere is the thing!

I don'tlike cotto, i don't know why... every time is ee him fight i think to my self "why don't you like this guy?" he has almose everything anyone could ask for a boxer to love, this is a guy when you hear he is fighting you can't wait to see it... but i just can't take to him but i want to coz i know being a fan of this guy would make his fights even more exciting!

Anyone else have a boxer they disslike but wish they did?
Interesting thread.

When I first saw Cotto, I said shiet this guy is ugly.
A friend actualy told me to take a look at him.
I am Mexican and when I learned he was Puerto Rican, I said there is no way I can like this guy. I then started watching him fight and I just enjoyed his consistency. He always showed me something new. I guess I appreciated how humble he was. After watching all of his pro fights, I was hooked. I got hooked pretty quick. One of the best body punchers in the game. I also enjoy seeing what a fighter looks like before he enters the ring with Cotto and what they look like after the fight is over. He really does a number on his opponents. There is a lot I like about this kid. The best is yet to come.

The person I would like to appreciate is PBF but I just can't for the fact that he has a big mouth. If he kept his mouth shut, he would be larger than life in more peoples eyes. Saying things like "I am better than Ali, Robbinson, Ray Leonard etc.. Is just a total turn off especialy when you have not had the wars these fighters had. Sure Floyd has his little legacy going up and fighting in 5 weight classes but he has not had the Leonards, Haglers, Duran's, Hearns of his career. He fought a lot of old dudes before retiring and it just leaves something to be desired. Where are his FOTY's? There are more reasons why I don't like this guy but I guess because he never fought the tough opposition before going out just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He is not exciting above 147. He needs to un-retire and move back down to a weight where he has more pep to his pop and fight some young lions for a change.
