未来的名人堂成员米格尔.库托讲述了他职业生涯的重要性，他与金童的合作伙伴关系，以及他作为一个父亲在以家庭放在首位的独家问答环节中所说的。
库托说；“我已经证明了我的整个职业生涯，我已经为任何人做好了准备。我是一个优秀的拳击手，我毫不怀疑我能和任何人比赛。当我回顾我的职业生涯时，我没有遗憾，所有的事情都成功了，我为我所建立的遗产感到骄傲。我认为我最令人满意的一场比赛是我对马加里托的胜利——我对他进行了报复。
在如今这个时刻，我已经成为一个更成熟，更专注，更完整的拳击手，我们与金童推广的合作是其中的一部分， 奥斯卡·德·霍亚和他的公司一直在那里支持我和我的团队，我很高兴能够以最好的方式与他们分享我的职业生涯的最后一站，我们已经看到了与他们合作的积极性，我们对于我们之间的合作伙伴关系感到兴奋，这已经超越了这次战斗本身。
我有今天也是因为我的父亲，他教会了我做人的方式，他教我如何把家人放在第一位，我毫不怀疑，我的父亲，母亲和全家人都为我感到骄傲。我会用同样的方式教导我的孩子们，他们也可以像我一样实现他们的目标和梦想，我认为，作为一个伟大的拳击手，我更加自豪能够成为一个伟大的父亲。
在我的职业生涯中，他（龟田）是我最好的对手——他是拳击场上的一名勇士。当我们在选择对手时，他是最早出现的名字之一。我并不担心我的对手是如何训练的——重要的是我们的队伍是如何准备的。罗奇一直对我很好，多年来对我的准备工作至关重要，我们的团队一直很喜欢像一家人一样一起工作。我将于8月26日在精神上和身体上为他做好准备，这将是一场伟大的战斗”。

Here is what Miguel Cotto had to say in an exclusive Q&A Session:
"I have proved my whole career that I have been ready for anyone. I am a good boxer and I have no doubt that I can match anyone. As I look at my career, I have no regrets, everything has worked out and I am proud of the legacy I have built. I think one of the more satisfying fights I've been in was my victory against Antonio Margarito -- I got my revenge against him then."
"In my time off, I feel like I've become a more mature, more focused, complete fighter. Our partnership with Golden Boy Promotions is part of that -- Oscar De La Hoya and his company have always been there to support me and my team, and I am glad I get to share the last leg of my career with them in the best way possible. We have already seen the positives of working with them, and we are excited for the partnership we have developed that goes beyond this fight."
"I became the man I am today because of my father. He taught me the way you have to be, to put your family first in your life. I have no doubt that my father, mother and whole family are proud of me. The discipline that my family has taught me is the same that I want to show my kids, that they too can achieve their goals and dreams just as I have. I think above being a great boxer, I take a bigger pride in being a great father."
"Kamegai is the best opponent for me right now in my career -- he is a warrior in the ring. When we were looking through our options, he was one of the first names that popped up. I don't really worry about what or how my opponent trains - all that matters is how well our team prepares. Freddie Roach has always been good to me, has been critical to my preparation over the years, and our team has always enjoyed working together like a family. I will be prepared for Kamegai on August 26 mentally and physically. It will be a great fight."
