i mean they both are smart and break their oponents down, both use alot of dirty tactics which the referee's cannot detect.

This is a very bad comparison, especially coming from a Cotto fan. The guys are nothing alike, either stylistically or ethically. Cotto is a clean fighter who has in 1 fight strayed low, which i have no doubt was accidental.
Hopkins deliberately looks to use dirty tactics and is a masterful ring general and technician.
Cotto is a pressure fighter and body destroyer. They break guys in very different ways.

If you want to compare Cotto with somebody, he's more along the lines of a Julio Cesar Chavez or an Edwin Rosario.

The two are totally stylistically different fighters, and Cotto is not dirty, or even "dirty" in the sense that Hopkins is.
As for the low blow on Zab, that was similar to Maradona scoring with the "hand of god", it was the world punching Zab in the balls for all the stupid shit he has done in his life.

That low blow was the same thing Trinidad did to Vargas when he got hurt.

Honestly?? I dont see any comparison between the two!! Different styles, and attitudes.
I respect Miguel , as he seems willing to face the best, and only time will tell who leaves the greater legacy.

oponents such as malignaggi, pinto and urkal have said that he has headbutted them, hit them with elbows and stepped on their ffeet without them even realizing.

Cotto has exiting fights and Hopkins does not. Apart from that very similar but Cotto has done little in comparison to Hopkins yet.

Cotto is awesome, and his best days may still be ahead, but I don't think he'll last in the game at an elite level for as long as Hops has.

Well the ones where they dive in head first (Malignaggi's cut and Winky's cut). Or the hitting below the belt(legs- not balls). There are others... you can't say that they get the sportsmanship award; thats for sure!! They are definitely dirty fighters, but they are also very SUCESSFUL fighters. I take nothing away from them, but they are DEFINITELY dirty fighters.
