All Props To Miguel Cotto For Fighting His Ass Off

I thought Cotto came in great shape and gave a superb effort. He gave a top-notch performance that was just not as great a performance as Margarito's. Similar to Marquez, Arguello or Meldrick Taylor. They just were worn down by the relentlessness of there opponents. To be honest I thought Cotto had it in the bag the first 3-4 rounds with all those super clean and brutal head snapping shots.......I thought no way can Margarito keep taking those without eventually getting hurt and KD/KO or at least slowing down. Shit was I wrong. Sometimes fights amaze me, I never thought Vaz-Marq III would ever see the scorecards either.

I congratulate both fighters for putting on what i call 2008 foty so far. i am not happy to see so many people calling him quitto etc, when in all honesty these people claim they do box but havent taken a quarter of the punishment he did. his spirit was willing but his flesh was weak he could do nothing more. im neither puerto rican or mexican but i can say i, as a boxing fan am proud of both fighters and what they did for boxing

He had nothing left and he knew it. He was smart enough to know that the fight was over. Why suffer permanent damage, he still had the senses to walk out on his own two feet and hopefully the health to come back and fight another day. Very true i agree

Props for quitting Same guy that has Tyson as one of his fav fighters...your corner throwing in the towel>>>>biting someones ear after getting your ass kicked and quitting...thats worse then what any fighter has ever done

i agree cotto is a great fighter i hated the fact that eather fighter had to lose but eather way cotto is great just not the better man in this one

Props for quitting He had nothing left and he knew it. He was smart enough to know that the fight was over. Why suffer permanent damage, he still had the senses to walk out on his own two feet and hopefully the health to come back and fight another day.

Props for quitting Get out of here with that gay shit hater!

They Both Deserve All The Respect In The World

The man deserves credit. He would have KO'd any other man last night with the shots that he was hitting Tony with. He put major Hands on Tony during those first 6 rounds. It was amazing to watch the kind of combinations he was able to put together. But he had a beast in front of him. And that beast was landing his shots much in the manner that Julio Cesar Chavez did in his classic encounter with Meldrick Taylor. There is nothing Cotto could have done better than he did last night. He cannot beat Tony Margarito. Tony is the Chupacabras, and he sucked the life out of Miguel Cotto last night. He'll be back, just not against the Tijuana Tornado. funny ass post with 85% of it being true. as well as cotto performed on saturday i dont think he's that far from being able to beat a fighter like margarito. with the showing of saturday theres a good chance cotto can acomplish it. margarito is a great fighter, but he's not invincible. for every man there's a man and no im not talkin bout williams. in the welterweight div williams is nothin more than size and volume.

Cotto will be back, he'll overcome this, he'll win another brand of the 147 lb. crown soon but he won't fight the tall Mexican again, as he's the best of the rest. I think he could whip Oscar as Oscar is 10 yrs past his prime and if PBF finally will fight him my money would be on Cotto.

Cotto deserves a lot of respect and props for fighting with everything he had. He was just in with an unstoppable force who wouldn't be denied, Cotto would have probably beat any other welterweight in the world with that performance. Absolutely. I was so impressed with Cotto last night that I couldn't believe how the fight turned around on him. It was the best fight I've seen in my life, just for the expectations involved and the drama of the turn around. Margarito's chin won that fight, I just couldn't believe that he was taking everything Cotto had and walking right through it. Fucking incredible....

great fight, props to both fighters. I'm looking forward to margarito's next fight and cotto's next fight after he takes his rest and regroups

Good post. Cotto certainly deserves a great deal more respect on here than he is receiving. He fought a very good fight, his opponent was just too strong and too tough for him. I felt Cotto would win the fight on the back of being able to make Margarito miss enough not to get hurt too badly. Turns out I was incorrect and Margarito hit him with a lot more than I thought he would be able to. Well done to both guys though, it was a truly great fight.
