Cotto quitting is a myth IMO. He was moments away from being stopped, but he didn't outright quit. He took two knee's because of the pounding he was taking, but after the 2nd one, he stood up within a few seconds and that's when his corner threw in the towel and entered the ring. He was beaten and exhausted in that last round, but he was still landing some good shots and I dispute the notion that he quit.

Here's the HBO version of rounds 10 + 11.
