Cotto Abandoning the Ring? Boxer's Legacies.

People obviously have a hard time when it comes to reading on this website... . I do when your sporting that pic of that bird with Jugs out To have a Wank: One plays with himself...

You get to sound like Vargas when you catch Tito with your face. Slurring bitch. **** u... vargas had thyroid problems And Cotto didn't quit.. He took a knee as he was gassed out and drinking blood for 9 rounds. His corner threw in the towel knowing full well, the world already has a punch drunk Vargas. cotto is a quitter. he was beaten physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. nothing wrong with quitting... he's got his health and family to look after. he admitted to that after the fight. his fans need to come to terms with his quitting. Plaster will do that to a brother. proof? Bitch ass "No Mas por favor Sr." Mexicans.. fukk u... mexican 4 life

:repost::welcome::gives::pat: Let it the **** go people. This is as boring as the handwrap shit. second most boring posts are Mangler's begging people to "Let it the **** go" LMAO!..

To fuk off: One must leave ones space Replied just for this. :rofl:

nah, dlh quit against a former 106 lber... thats shameful. it was shameful taking the fight in the first place. hahaha. You do have a point. However Pac-Man might go down as one of the best pound for pound fighters of our generation.

People obviously have a hard time when it comes to reading on this website... I am saying that cotto quit. What I was curious about was how people really viewed quitting in the boxing community. Not just with the Cotto fight, but with all fighters. De La Hoya quit on the stool. Does that make him a weak boxer. IMO No. He did not have that 1 round Ko Punch in his repitoire.He lost every round and was only awaiting a knockout. Seems as if peopl on here have already suffered brain damage, so that might make it difficult for people to have intelectual conversations on boxing. nah, dlh quit against a former 106 lber... thats shameful. it was shameful taking the fight in the first place.

This is sort of the point I was trying to make in the other thread. If it was titled "Did Cotto choose to discontinue fighting?" suddenly this comes across as more neutral where you have to ask questions before determining if this was a positive or negative thing. I think if you evaluate Cotto's situation there was nothing wrong with him choosing to discontinue fighting. The critics simply want to attach "quit" with Cotto because of the shame associated with the word regardless of what the situation may have been. Thank you for actually reading! Many people call Cotto (and many other fighters) quitters when they can not even imagine what it feels like to be in that ring. A quitter is someone who always quits. We have already seen these fighters persevere through numerous fights, but we knock 'em when they make an aware decision to call the fight.

Quit 1. to stop, cease, or discontinue: She quit what she was doing to help me paint the house. 2. to depart from; leave (a place or person): They quit the city for the seashore every summer. 3. to give up or resign; let go; relinquish: He quit his claim to the throne. She quit her job. There is no doubt, from these definitions of the word, Cotto did quit. However, I am convinced the way many people viewed his actions as shameful for a boxer. People treat the action the same way someone who chooses suicide. In the sense that a person has quit prematurely. There is nothing wrong with what Cotto did. I'm not just speaking about Cotto, but all boxers that step in the ring. Yes, boxing is about fighting the odds. However, as an athlete, he does have the choice to decide when enough is enough. We all enjoy seeing the boxer who takes a beating but just wont stop trying. Their will to truly sacrifice. It is so exciting. When the boxer career is over. Will those sacrifices truly benefit that person when it's all said and done? To me, brain damage is not worth any legacy. Thoughts? This is sort of the point I was trying to make in the other thread.

cotto is definitely a quitter, but what's so great about going out on your shield???

I take it you're still trying to cope with the loss? He even says himself that he STOPPED/QUIT/GAVE UP to withdraw himself from any possible and further damage. He could have kept going, and he knew he could of lasted the 12, but he didn't know if he'd be the same Cotto the very next year. In my view, it was the smartest thing to do.
