Cotto choose to take those knees so it is what it is.

Anything wrong with it no! but he did choose to take those knees.

Im saying there is nothing wrong with him taking a knee nothing at all but he did choose to take them for what ever reason.

And i doubt Cotto could really get hurt in the ring he doesnt take a shot well enough to take a good 12rd beating although he was busted up pretty bad againsr Marg.

I was Ringside for Ben v McClellan. When Gerald took a Knee in the Nineth, my first thoughts were the cunts Bottled it. After I felt terrible realising what my first impressions were, dont even go there Pal.

This is non-sense.....His "Choice" was very much greatly influenced to say the least!! You doubt he could get hurt in the ring but yet he does not take a shot well enough to take a "good" beating in the 12th

huh? Margarito Took that victory,it was not given to him! Cotto gave every thing he had to give until he was totally spent.Respect to both and to ANY fighter that goes through that hellish type of fight!

I didn't bother reading much more than the original post, but Cotto did not quit. He was beaten into submission by a fighter whose style was all wrong for him. I find it somewhat ironic that Zab Judah was applauded and respected for his fight with Cotto, but when the same thing happens to Cotto he's derided as a quitter. In no way did he quit, if the fight had continued for another 10 seconds he would've been unconscious.

He'll be back though, I don't get this modern day obsession with unbeaten (and thus almost universally heavily padded) records. I'd rather have fighters like Margarito and Cotto, who have some losses between them, who are willing to fight everyone, even if it means they occasionally lose.
