By Dan Ambrose: WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) has been through a lot of wars in the past four years, and he’s taken too much punishment for his own good. His promoter Bob Arum has been doing his best to keep Cotto winning, but it’s getting harder because he doesn’t seem [...]

By Dan Ambrose: There’s no question that WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) took at least savage beatings in the past three years in his losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao.

By Dan Ambrose: I’m going to go out on the limb and make a prediction that WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto will lose and lose badly to 37-year-old Ricardo Mayorga next month if Cotto gets cut at any point in the fight.

By Dan Ambrose: In many of Miguel Cotto’s fights in the past three years, his face has taken a lot of punishment in terms of getting hit, cut up and ending up swollen to grotesque proportions. Part of the problem is Cotto’s lack of defense. He gets hit far too much for his own good. [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Miguel Cotto (35-2, 38 KO’s) may be the current World Boxing Association (WBA) junior middleweight champion after stopping Yuri Foreman in the 9th round last year in June, but the way that Cotto looked in that fight, the way that he looked in getting stomped by Manny Pacquiao in the fight before [...]

NEW YORK, NY (January 19, 2011) – You would think at age 79 and with approximately 80 years of promotional experience between them they have done it all, but Hall of Fame promoters Bob Arum and Don King have never conducted a joint network television interview — until today!

By Jason Kim: Bob Arum isn’t dismissing the threat that Ricardo Mayorga (29-7-1, 23 KO’s) poses for his fighter WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) for their fight on March 12th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) is probably pretty fortunate to be the holder of the World Boxing Association junior middleweight title right now, because if he had to have faced a tougher fighter than fellow Top Rank stable fighter Yuri Foreman in his last fight to capture the [...]

By Dave Lahr: WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) is like a walking scar from all the cuts he suffered around his face, especially his eyes, in various fights during his career.
