Did Cotto quit (Please read first)

[XaduBoxer]

I will only label Cotto a "quitter" or "not a warrior" if he will quit again in a future fight...

.

Excuse me people for quoting myself. I have to bring this up again since I was neg rep for this comment. I only have one question, will you label Cotto a "quitter" or "not a warrior" if he will do it again in a future fight?

If you quit once, it will not necessarily makes you a "quitter" but if you do it regularly then it's just right to call you a "quitter".

When you're under heavy attack and you can't take any more punishments since you're already totally zapped out then take a knee. It's the smartest form of quitting.

I wouldn't call any fighter 'quitter' its downright rude. Do it to Miguels face one day instead of in here all safe and sound and see who quits first. They are all their own men who dont have to bend over for the two bit fans who only want more blood or ko's, they do what they feel is right for their own progression in life.

I will call a boxer a "quitter" if he quit in several fights. But I will also objectively consider the reasons why he quit.

For me, quitting in more than one fight makes the boxer a "quitter".

Look it is mincing words,most of us in here fuk but people dont come up and call us fucker, out of plain respect and a certain intelligence linked to their survival.
Notice the word Quitter has the same context; its disrespectful (a label )because it has exactly the same intent behind it!
Quitters dont give it their best shot, quitters in the true sence of the word and how we all feel about it 'fold early'.
We need to leave the implication of being a chicken out of it cause its in there with the word quitter and you know it is.

Exactly.... I mean, going by some sort of dictionary definition, you could say Floyd quit... If there is someone knocked out on the canvas, but there is 1% of them that can get up but 99% that can't, then they are a quiter for not using that 1% to get up... It's ridiculous..

It's also ridiculous to try to find a context in which you can use the word "quit" with regards to how the Cotto/Margarito fight ended.. Becuase you can find SOME context to call just about anything in life "quitting", but is it truely necessary to search for that context in order to make things negative?

In terms of boxing where two fighters in there with the potential of giving each other permanent brain damage, then our standards need to be a little bit fucking higher with throwing around words that have the purpose of degrading a boxers performance in such a way that the word quiter uses..
And prizefight boxing is the terms that we are talking here... Under those terms, the word quitter has very very little place... Especially in ANY 12 rounder..

Well based on the definition SaddoBoxer provided and Miguel's reaction to Margarito's body shots early on and all his back peddling , and the end result yeah he quit. He stopped, ceased, or discontinued to attempt to take an offensive stand he chose to counter and run. So yeah he was quitting early on and flat out quit at the end and succumbed to Margarito's punishment


The better question is will his fans also quit on him, define that! Seems his fans have more faith than Cotto had on his abilities that night and tomorrow!
