Hey guys, I'm like mick and Rican in a way. I too started to see Cotto from early in his career. After Tito lossed, he was who everyone was talking about here at PR. There was a small buzz going around if you know what I mean. Everywhere you went you heard people talk "You gotta check this guy Cotto out, he's pretty damn good"

However, I was not totally sold on him at first. It took some time for me. But I have become a huge fan now and I think by the end of the year he'll be ready for Floyd. Whether he wins or not is another story, but he'll be ready and will make it a hell of a fight.

It is true that he has yet to dethrone a champion. It is true that Judah and Mosley were passed it and that they were his two biggest wins. But you also have to take into account that he beat 3 undefeated young fighters who shortly after went on to become champions themselves. He has also fought all types of fighters. Come forward fighters, hard hitters, swarmers, fast, slow, slicksters, boxers, rightys, leftys. He has fought them all and won.
