So Cotto quit?..

NO he didn't fucking quit. I like both boxers and Cotto didn't quit. Exacty. If he quit he would have either taken the full count on his knee or told the ref to stop the fight. He never did that. He was a beaten fighter, but he did not quit.

back and to the left back and to the left

this is like dissecting the Kennedy assassination

where's the gif of him dropping to a knee without being hit twice.

lol @ Cotto cumchuggers are in denial and delusional. He clearly quit, his will was broken and he quit. TAKING KNEES WITHOUT BEING HIT IS QUITTING

I think Bayless was just about to stop it either way. COLOR] This I can agree to.

clearly not, seeing as he showed he did not want to fight based on his previous actions before the fight was stopped. Then why didn't he just take the count?

He probably knew the stoppage was inevitable but he wasn't going to say "I Quit.", he was willing to go out on his shield, taking knees doesn't necessarily mean quitting, it's a good way to get a breather for at least 8 or 9 seconds. Bayless said he would have let it go on for a little because Cotto was still throwing and landing hard combinations. "It's better to die on your feet (Castillo against Corrales), than live life on your knees (Miguel taking a knee as Margarito approaches)." - Emiliano Zapata, haha i just like making a lot of yall mad...

He backed up across the entire ring and took his second knee of the round rather than fire back or make any attempt to fight at all. a la...quitting. clearly not, seeing as he showed he did not want to fight based on his previous actions before the fight was stopped. he didnt even fight after the first knee, what makes you think he wouldve fought after the second, he was begging for someone to stop the fight. I think Bayless was just about to stop it either way. Cotto backpedaled from one end of the ring to the other and just took a knee. He looked ready to wave it off.

It's different though, if his corner hadn't stopped the fight, Cotto would have probably fought on. I think Bayless was just about to stop it either way. Cotto backpedaled from one end of the ring to the other and just took a knee. He looked ready to wave it off.

he turned his back and walked away from marg, and then proceeded to take a knee without getting hit. He quit, its not a bad thing, it just highlights the difference between mexican and puerto rican fighters, ha... quitting is not something a mexican fighter does in his prime, as cotto did. So you mean to tell me that Israel Vazquez is shot and going down hill because he quit in the FIRST of THREE grueling matches against Rafael Marquez? Or is Israel Vazquez, who comes to fight to the tone of Rancheras, Puerto Rican? Lsat time I checked he wasn't. Or what about Marco Antonio Barreras when he suffered the same Cotto suffered to the hands of Manny Pacquiao, was he shot then? Because if I'm not mistaken he fought and became a champion again many times after that hell of a beating he took and as far as I can remember he is Mexican, so what new excuse you have now after I completely shit on your statement you tool.

He didn't tell the referee "I Quit" or "I don't want to continue.", he took voluntary knees, doesn't mean he quit. And look at TheMachine's video, Mexican fighters quit as well. He backed up across the entire ring and took his second knee of the round rather than fire back or make any attempt to fight at all. a la...quitting.

Does a woman getting raped have to say "no" for you to understand she doesn't want the chorizo? Not saying you're a rapist, just making an example It's different though, if his corner hadn't stopped the fight, Cotto would have probably fought on.

Take a look. What are your thoughts?

Tony won fair and square, But Cotto didn't quit. Sorry to make another thread about this though.. The reason the corner stopped the fight is because Cotto retreated the entire ring, and then dropped to a knee without a punch being landed. He quit.

How do you explain this? different rules apply with two mexicans obviously haha, good one though.. bottom line is a mexican wouldnt be allowed to step foot in mexico had he quit to a puerto rican, or took a knee without getting hit and waiting for someone to stop the fight..., as for puerto ricans they accept cotto with open arms and look for excuses.
