Cotto on is first loss

[Majesty]

After reading that its clear Cotto is not a warrior. Not that i condemn that but you wouldnt see Hatton, Marques or Margarito give up they would have to be KTFO.

A warrior returns home beaten and bloody, shot in his 35s and can't run and play with his children but he got that respect for one fight.

A Family man may take the loss and go on and have a great career with more longevity and when he gets old be able to play with his kids, speak clearly and not have brain damage.

If I had children and you asked me what mattered more, winning a fight or being able to coherently spend time with my children, I would pick my children always.

If my sacrifice to being a warrior was my children, or the ability to spend time with them, then I'd never want to be known as a warrior.

Miguel did the right thing

He did the right thing for his Family but one wouldnt see Marciano, Ali or Frazier do anything or say anything like that. Cotto knew he was done as was on his way to getting knocked out. Again i dont condemn it but it is what it is.

[killersheep]

How can anyone criticize what Cotto did, it's really unbelievable. He gave it his all and provided a FOTY candidate, he was humble afterwards and gave Margarito his due. He did nothing wrong in there. I think people still want boxers to be Gladiators and die trying, me personally I'd rather see them live to fight another day.

Ali has Parkinsons, I met Joe Frazier last month and the lights were on but no one was home if you know what I mean, and Marciano didnt have to face any huge punchers in his time.. So you are being a little to crirical of Miguel... I mean let some Puerto Ricans be pissed if he took 2 knees, I would tell those guys to go over to Wilfred Benitez's house and give him a few bucks if you give that much of a crap about your fighters health and well being at the end of the day

Markus that's a complete joke and you obviously have an agenda here. I guess Tszyu, Frazier or Vazquez aren't warriors either. If I had the internet speed I would neg rep you, really what a joke of a comment that is. Cotto and Margarito both left everything in the ring and if any boxing fan isn't satisfied with that great fight then they have no business being a fight fan. Simple as that.

[XaduBoxer]

I won't even criticize Gary Lockett for taking 3 knees against Pavlik for less punishments...

Taking a knee is just being smart when you cannot take the punishments anymore... You save your ass for another day...

I did it for you Amat!

What an idiot.

[XaduBoxer]

You can label Cotto a "quitter" and "not a warrior" if he will do it again in another fight in the future...

[Spicoli]

Top notch assesment Danny...Cotto is far from damaged goods.Absolute respect due Improved Cotto and I see him rebounding well after a spell! and yes,Give me Tony vs. Rue Paul Williams II for now.......call me a sadist

[Andre]

The question could also just as easily be; Whos more stupid the ones who fight on because their ego is so big they couldnt take the talk by the punks who wanted to see a Ko. Or the ones who quit when they know the next shot will take them out and fuk what everyone else thinks cause they aren't crowd pleasers they are their own men? two ways of looking at everything.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I get pissed off when accusations of being a Quitter are thrown around, Cotto is not a quitter, he will live to fight another day and as he said Margarito was better on the night. Was Joe Frazier a Quitter when he couldn't come out for the 15th round in the 'Thriller in Manilla' ? No he wasn't, the guy can hardly string two words together now.
Tszyu was heavily criticized for quitting on the stool against Hatton, yet it was his corner who stopped it not the fighter. Had the fight continued he would have been in serious trouble.
These guys go into battle every fight they have and sometimes things don't always work out the way they want them too. Cotto is a brave, courageous warrior who just lost a fight and that's all he did, if he is a true champion he will comeback bigger, better and stronger than before and who knows he may fight Margarito and whip his ass next time.

ok... I see you're singing the same tune in various threads...

It is what it is he said he quit and thats what i see.

Do i hold it against him no i like Cotto. But to neg rep me for an opinion is pathetic. Its funny the two that lambast my comments have Cotto as an avatar why dont you talk about whats wrong with my comment.

Go on quote my comment and tell me whats wrong with it go on you fucking Pavlik nut.

[Diane]

Go on quote my comment and tell me whats wrong with it go on you fuking Pavlik nut.

Here I'm quoting you....

First, is that anyway to to talk to a lady.

Second, what does Pavlik have to do with this?

I'll gladly get into why you are being ridiculous, but I'll have to wait until I get home from work tonight when I have more time.

But, before I do that, I just want to know, you keep saying that you are not trying to knock Cotto, yet in 2 different threads you were spouting this nonsense, and when no one wanted to hear that crap, you felt the need to start a 3rd thread so that you can continue to pound this crap into our heads. So if you're not trying to knock Cotto, why do you have to keep posting this crap in so many different threads, when no one agrees with you?

It an opinion you bellend!

He just stated himself he quit not because he couldnt take anymore but because he wanted to end the fight. Im just saying what he said a true warrior wouldnt do that.

And this agenda shit i like Cotto i call it how i see it or hear it ffs.

Get to fuck.
