Cotto on is first loss

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.

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.

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

Hope Cotto will take any of these available top tough welter in his next fight; Clottey, Cintron or Williams...

It still amazes me how no one is talking about the body work Margarito did, only one person mentioned it in this thread. Go to the gym, train for 1 year, get in the ring with a decent fighter and you will soon learn what a good body attack means. It saps you of everything, your strength, your speed, your reflexes, your punching power,your will to fight, they are all gone after a good and sustained body attack.

Margarito absolutely tore Cotto's body up in the early rounds. Forget the blood in the nose, it didn't have 1/10th the effect as the brutal assault to the body by Margarito. Some people will never get it. While the stupid announcers were oohing and ahhing at the head shots by Cotto, I was noting the absolute brilliant and effective assault to the body by Margarito in the first 5 rounds. It wasn't until the body work had decided the fight by the 6th or 7th round that Manny started to talk about it much at all.

Cotto took a beating, he did not have what it takes to hurt Margarito much and he couldn't protect his body at all. He was beaten before that final round. I called a couple rounds before that that he was going to have to quit. No shame in that, no shame at all. No one here, i doubt, has one clue what his body was going thru right then. He was on the verge of collapse and was thoroughly beaten and he knew it. He was no longer able to protect himself. Everyone can be made to quit if they take that beating to the body!!! Everyone!!!

I wonder what would be of Margarito if he didn't had at least 1/4 less of that chin? I mean Cotto was landing at will.

I did not notice how effective Tony's body attack was until I began watching the video in slow motion while working on my video. It was a great body attack and Tony landed some massive shots, despite Tony's relentless body attack, you can't leave out some of those massive upper cuts Tony was landing on the inside and to make matters worse, Tony was throwing so many punches that he was catching Miguel in the neck, shoulders, arms, body and just about anywhere legal. As you said, it looked as though Miguel was done in many rounds but he did keep trying and he hung in there as long as his body permitted. The man who onws 8 gas stations in Puerto Rico, ran out of gas and had to close down his stores Tony is a gas guzzler

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.

People who say Cotto is a Qiuter, Have never been in a Hospital waiting Hours to make sure there Fighter pulls through, they havent got a clue. This is one Hard game played by proper Men with Passion and pride Cotto is a Proper Man.

Can you read?

Cotto himself said he gave up, now look in the dictonary the word "quit" to give up.

No-one is hating him for it and he did the correct thing but just like Tszyu he **** no shame in it.

A little bit and still learning

[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.
