Did Cotto quit (Please read first)

[XaduBoxer]

You harped on this a lot. So there's a quota system? I don't get that. Circumstances are circumstances. As many people on here have said, "quitting" has a very negative connotation. You can quote Cotto interviews, you can quote Webster's Dictionary, you can put whatever the hell spin on it. But callling any prizefighter a "quitter" is just plain insulting, and 99.99% of boxing fans will agree with that.

Well we have different standards I guess. For me if a boxer quit again and again then I will definitely label him a "quitter".

.

So a fighter who has absorbed punishment for 11 rounds, has had his nose broken, is bloodied, has nothing left in the tank, and can no longer defend himself should continue standing till he is spectacularly KTFO'ed. And then he's a warrior and not a quitter.

I see. I'm sure Deuk Koo Kim's family would be heartened to know he fit the definition of a warrior and not a quitter.

This is my last post on this subject. My criteria is very simple, "if a boxer quits in several fights then he's a quitter to me"...

I didn't call Cotto a quitter but if Cotto quits again in a future fight then definitely I will label him a quitter for it's more than once already.

Bash me if you want but that's my criteria for a quitter.
