Kostya Tszyu quit on his stool, does this mean he was not a warrior?
Can you name any other great fighters who quit?
Which got me to thinking about the MMA, why all this hype about a sport where fighters quit all of the time, when a fighter taps out, does this make his less of a man or less of a fighter?
I am just bringing this up because people are calling Cotto a quiter but if you watch the fight as I have watched it, Miguel took a lot of punishment and should have been knocked out in the second, the seventh, the eigth, the 10th and in the eleventh. Miguel could have easily taken more knees a lot earlier, didnt someone mention Gary Lockett in another thread?
Only those with superior chins have been able to go the distance with Margarito. We all know that Miguel has a less than perfect chin but to say he is not a warrior is pure bullshiet. Miguel never tried to clintch at every chance he got, he went to war. Some one mentioned that Hatton vs Mayweather Jr was a great fight. Are you fucking kinding me? All Floyd did was hold. Ricky got hit once and was out. How long would Hatton last against Margarito? LMAO! Cotto did not get hit once, Cotto got hit good and plenty and everywhere. Tony hit Miguel in the head, neck, shoulders, arms, body, hip and even while Miguel was down
FOTY!
Anyone who says Miguel is not a warrior or a great fighter needs to get their eyes checked.
BTW, how much holding and hugging did Paul Williams do against Margarito?
Miguel could have hugged Tony until the cows came home but he didn't, he put up a great fight.
