As with PBF, I've realized with Cotto that no matter how well they perform they will always be critizied. Cottos come a long way since when he 1st started and to see him evolve into what he has become today is something special man. I'm not a PBF as he's not my kind of fighter but I gotta respect him as a fighter and his skills. To see Cotto and say he's one dimensional, glass chin, too slow, over hyped, overrated etc. etc. etc. is silly.
What I say is this, it's fine if your not a fan of his but come on to not see what he's accomplished since his career took off is dumb. The kids not the best boxer out there right now that title belongs to PBF today. But one point PBF wasn't the best boxer on the scene it was RJJ but little by little PBF got the opp. to show his skills. Cottos just trying to do the same, hes a fighter he's said it before.

(In his heavy PR accent)
"I don't do much talking, I train and prepare myself and show up on fight night and go to work. That's my job, my job is not to say bad things about my opponents. I have nothing to say to them, I just want to get in the ring and fight" - Cotto
LOL pretty Robotic but you got to undersatand mic since we both speak spanish that the way he speaks spanish meaning what he really means to say it doesn't comes of like he wants it to be in english. In spanish he said things knid of more aggressive and leeting their oppoent things like if you are no ready i'm kikicng your but lol something like that



Thats because he id determined to speak English well....I seen him in an interview where they were going to use a translator,,,,Cotto refused and stated he had been working very hard on his English and asked the interviewer to please be patient with him while he did his best to show what he had learned....Miguel is just determined not to sound illiterate when speaking English...so he tries so hard to pronounce everything clearly he sounds like a speak and say toy......Hats off to the guy for trying to learn a second language and wanting to do it well
Daxx spot on.
I think Cotto is great for the sport and this issue with him learning English is just a demonstration of the effort he puts in...
