He's lost two fights. One to a cheater, where he was smart enough to take a knee and avoid getting pummeled by plaster casts... and another where the REF stopped the fight. But what the hell am I doing even acknowledging your stupidity in this forum? You sure that baseball bat didn't actually hit you on the head?
The ref stopping the fight was really just a technicality. Cotto had already quit a couple of rounds earlier. It's easy to tell when he's checked out of a fight. He starts backing up in a circular motion with his hands at his waist and tries to avoid punches by moving his upper body. Not that it ever helps. Cotto is one of the few fighters who can go into survival mode and still takes as much punishment if not more than when he's not in survival mode
Wow... all this wisdom gathered from watching a boxer with two WHOLE defeats in his career. And one to a plaster-gloved cheater. Amazing. I know you're hell-bent on declaring Cotto a "quitter" in your inmense boxing wisdom... but you (and your groupies) are in a distinct minority. Fact of the matter is... fighters go into "survival mode", as you put it, sometimes while they gather their wits and are coming up with a new game plan. And how a fighter goes into that mode varies from fighter to fighter. Unlike you'd have us all believe, not all fighters throw caution to the wind and let the chips fall where they may. Some clinch... some sway... some back up more... some resort to fouling. Part of boxing, my thuggish friend.
But what the hell. You're mind is made up... and so are the minds of the groupies that worship the ground you walk on.
I know your lust for Cotto is strong. So you feel the need to defend him no matter what. Fine. Whatever. But I have no doubt if it was Berto, Margarito or any one not named Cotto in there against Pac you would be saying they quit. Cuz the only game plan Cotto was trying to come up with when he started retreating was to either quit himself or have his corner do it for him.
I'm going to continue to try reasoning with you, against my better judgement. Don't you understand that Cotto did not have a sound game plan against Pacquaio? You DO understand that he was in there with basically a non-entity of a trainer... the joker who happened to fill the gap between Cotto's uncle, and Emanuel Stewart.... right? Cotto started out well enough... snapping Pac's head back with good jabs. But soon after (and without direction), started trading with Pacquiao... and got caught with numerous good shots. After that... he did go into his survival mode, but only trying to clear his head and figure out another strategy. Is this such an unheard of concept for you?
Let me turn it around for you. In any other boxer other than Cotto... you'd be calling this defense, or strategy, or whatever. But since Cotto's never done it for you, you call it "quitting". AND... you've got your little legion of followers who can't form their own sentences, and resort to parroting the crap you spout so often.
Any chance there might be some truth in any of this...... sport?
