    .

    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".

    I think to make this whole thing simpler, the original topic should have been called, "I don't think cotto is a warrior because he took a knee"... That's what your opinion is...
    Some people would say you need to be a warrior to even go 5 rounds with Margarito in the form he's been in.. Going a full 11 rounds and maintaining competitiveness throughout, even winning possibly half the rounds.. Taking some of Margarito's best drillings and still coming to the last minute... If that doesn't earn warrior status in someone's book, then they need a new book...
    Taking a knee when under extreme pressure gives you a quick breather to regroup and try again to win the fight instead of getting knocked out right there.. It is as much strategy as anything..


    Do you also take the win away from Coralles and say that he wasn't a warrior against Castillo because he spat out his mouthguard a few times to get a breather.... That fight was the definition of 2 warriors going at it... Both showed more heart that most people do in their entire lives... But i'm sure you'll find purpose to take that status away from Coralles as well...


    Maybe you should step into the ring for a few round with someone who's got it over you, and see how long you can take punishing for....


    I can truely name only FEW boxers who you could not call warriors...

    I agree, because once fighters call it a day like Cotto did...it just gets easier to quit from that point on. Remember Acelino Freitas.

    I clearly stated who the guys I will consider "quitter" or maybe "not a warrior". Those who did it more than once. Did Duran do the "no mas" for the second time in another fight?

    Yeah that's the possibility. If you quit in one fight then there's a big possibility that you will quit again in another future fight. Two (2) quits will make you a quitter but if you only quit once, I will not consider you a quitter yet.

    To say he Quit in its truest form is an insult to both Cotto & Tony.When a man is beat physically,tired,exhausted,and finding no answers while being over whelmed ....he losses.Margarito put him in that position,brought him there.I have always had a problem believing a man Chooses to loss by his own hand.Cotto has honor and fought his heart out,NO quitter he but with big time respect, it was not his descision to make at that point! Be it devastating or not,a No-mas or a beat down.....Spoils and Respect as well to the victor.
