Cotto brutalizes JMM over how long it takes. Most likely the ref or the corner would have to stop it.

Marquez has not been stopped once in his entire career. Now he's suppose to not only stopped but brutalized by a fighter who's gone on record saying he'll rather quit than get hit to many times? Seriously? Come the fuck on with that nonsense.
When has Cotto ever quit in a fight in his life? Each time he had to have the towel thrown in to save him from being beaten badly- Margarito and Manny come to mind.
As said, styles make fights. Cotto's style and power, when we compare where both of these fighters are at their respective careers, how could anyone have Marquez winning a UD at 150?
He took a knee without being hit against Margarito. Than his corner threw in the towel. He had already quit. Against Pac he pretty much stopped fighting the last couple of rounds. All he did was back peddle and block punches. He had already quit mentally.
He took a knee after several rounds of being brutally savaged by a man that was reported to use loaded gloves in the next fight afterwards. Not wanting to speculate on whether or not Margarito used loaded gloves against Cotto in their first match, but the beating he took during those rounds against a hard hitter, it was wise for him to take a knee and ride the round out....
I prefer a fighter to take a knee if he feels wobbly and/or dizzy. It shows that he has just enough faculty to know where he is, how bad of a shape he is in, and understands how to use the ring, time and flow of the match to his advantage.
There is no win in taking shots, straight up and head on, when you can take a knee and then try to regroup. A standing 8 could have worked well for him too. But it is what it is...
