Same goes for Margarito. Only a few diehard fans expressed their "fandom" of Margarito back then. All of a sudden, it seems... everyone is singing Margarito's praises. Obviously, his total destruction of the dangerous Kermit Cintron was a huge factor.

So does that make us knowledgeable? Or fickle? I think the former. That's the beauty of boxing. As fighters mature and get huge fights under their belts, we tend to change our opinions and our preferences.

I just hope that whoever loses on July 26th all of a sudden doesn't become a bum.

80% is being nice...
More like 95% were NOT Cotto fans... We were far and few.

I've said this before but I was 1st a Margarito fan then a Cotto fan but I started following Cotto since fight #1 up until today so Cotto to me is what Hearns, Duran and SRL were to people who were in their late teens to early twenties in the 80's.
I take it all in and enjoy the fact that I saw with my very own eyes one of the best current fighters of our times and if his career stands the tests and goes through a possible HoFamer and one of the greats but Cotto still has road to cover before we start talking HoF & Great.

(Can you tell I got really excited towards the end there )
As far as I can remember in this forum, I agree with you CMM. There were only few Cotto fans then. People were questioning his ability to win against a fighter like Mosley much more against PBF.

After he had shown how he can handle the likes of Mosley, everybody seems to be in the Cotto bandwagon.
