Miguel Cotto About Felix Trinidad: Once He Lost His Title He Never Again Became A Champion

[Big Boss]

1. After Cotto said "I don't fight for Puerto Rico, I fight for me" leading up to the first Margarito, he was NEVER going to get Trinidad level love. Tito was charismatic, waved the flag harder than anyone where Cotto is more an introvert.

Verdejo has a shot to be equally loved as Trinidad if he keeps winning, Cotto's chance came and went.

2. The Undefeated v. Mexico angle is really not that serious, especially since Cotto only lost once to a Mexican because of AntoniLowe's cement gloves. The in-ring rivalry is serious though.

Exactly, but I wouldn;t even call Trout a bum. Dude's a solid B level guy, but if you're supposed to be some great HOF level boxer, you beat guys like Trout.

You don't get battered and bruised in front of your people and lose a 9 rounds to 3 type of decision.


#TitoTitans for the win.

Fight was so one-sided I wouldn't even argue against your scorecard. I thought he only won 2 rounds myself. 3 is the most that I could see anybody actually giving him though and even then it's not like Cotto won them big either.

That's why I always whenever Floyd says that fight was closer than what the judges had it because nobody but a nikka with an agenda would say that shyt.

"Cotto's undefeated in my eyes"


Floyd definitely had an agenda going into the fight with Cotto

Winky had jus beat Shane N vs Tito it was a ppv fight

Tito could a jus waited N rematched Hopkins or look at 168 for a title if thats what he wanted

If I remember correctly the plan was a PPV showdown with Tito vs Shane. Shane had just beat Fishnets the 2nd time & Tito wanted that fight. I believe (@patscorpio help me) Shane was advised not to fight Winky but his fighter pride & spirit got the best of him & that fight got derailed after that loss. Shane was supposed to go to 160 for that huge fight & it would've been great.

Cotton lost to Trout because he was used to fighting with advantages...Whether it was style or health, Cottons matchmakers put him in the ring against guys he should beat to rebuild interest in his brand and get a big fight...He did that against a cyclopse (cheato), a one legged Jew (Foreman) and a cab driver (Mayorga)...Those fights got him the Mayweather fight...Miguel Cotto is back they said and better than ever thanks to his highly respected Cuban trainer...

He had a respectable performance against Floyd, his clueless stans even thought he won...Cotton felt good and fought Trout, a guy his handlers felt wasn't a threat because he can't punch...Trout was healthy and stylistically a very tough matchup for Cotton hence why he whooped him so convincingly...

History has a funny way of repeating itself...

Cottons handlers are once again methodically matching him up against guys he has style and health advantages over in order to build up hype...A weed carrier (Rodriguez), 40 year old man on one leg (Martinez) and a kangaroo trainer (Geale)...Miguel Cotto is back and better than ever HBO said all thanks to his new trainer Freddy Roach...

Next up is the big fight they been building up to...

Canelo is healthy and ready for war...

I've always felt that Bhop snatched his soul and that he was never the same.

Tito was supposed to "win" that fight...never had lost and had he won, he was gonna face Roy in the super fight for all of that money. I thought it was kind of weird how everyone was picking Trinidad when Hokpins hadn't lost in 8 years. Tito was so sluggish in that fight It was sad....

Right, people giving credit to Tito for taking that fight but it was suppose to be a fight he should have won... It wasn't until the aftermath and people took a step back and saw Hopkins was no slouch.

Go from 147 to 160 to fight somebody that has been there forever.. That's like Floyd going to 160 and fighting GGG
