Would Cotto Have Still Given Up If...

look, by that point cotto didn't even know who oscar diaz was, shit he probably didnt know who he was.

he was tired as shit, he brain was spinning he was stumbling around the ring because he had no control of him self.

Stop making excuses

he got beat and nothing in the world that has happened before or after this fight would of changed that.

Conditioning is a huge factor. We can argue all day as to what came 1st the chicken or the egg. In other words, was Miguel getting caught more because he was gassed? or was Miguel gassed because he was getting caught?

Given the ease in which he was able to outbox Marg. I think Cotto was definitely gassed out. He looked more like a man who simply could not breath anymore. He took his knee and stood up, he was not dizzy etc just gassed out.

This is a winnable fight for Cotto and anybody pretending Margarito is too much for Miguel is not being realistic. Cotto will be back.

No need to pretend this...everybody knows this...
I had it 50 to 50 before the fight...if there is a rematch I'm leaning to Margarito 55 to 45 or even 60 to 40...But I still want Cotto to win it...

I am reading thes responses and it truly disgusts me how you sore losers are making every excuse for the way Cotto lost. Why can't you admit that this great fighter did his best and went out on his shield?

Everytime you try to make an excuse, you cheapen the value and importance of what we were fortunate enough to share. This is an ageless classic--demonstrated by the dozens of people who have shown up at my door to see the fight again and again!

Also, with everyone talking about how much of a true warrior Cotto is, how can you justify that he was concerned for his health

It just sounds like hateration IMO...

I'm pretty sure you can be a true warrior and still choose life over death.

Unless you happen to be a Samurai.
