Those who call him a quitter dont understand what's to be physically exhausted to the point where your body just can't react anymore. its ridiculous that they expect him to just sit there and get hit if he knows he can no longer fight. plus after the whole plaster controversy how would YOU feel if you were cotto and felt u got cheated on in top of that. It's like some people pointed out...if your going to cheat, your going to do it on your most imp fight ( cotto!! ) not the TUNEUP. it's obvious margarito cheated against him look at how his face was people gotta grow up and stop calling people shit unless they are, like for example Hatton = overrated and judah a gatekeeper. lets see your excuses when cotto beats clottey and im putting all my points on anyone who wants to bet.
Why the obsession wit this? It's been almost a yr. Dude fought til he couldn't fight no more. Let it go.
i know man. shit. i wish i could i was super happy that margarito won and all to be honest because im glad when i see good fights that go both way and someone ends up all bloody and shit but it really annoys when people call others quitters when all they do is sit in a computer and talk about other peoples boats and investments ( catch my drift? ). i remember i couldn't see that fight i was in the middle of the damn desert i found out like 4 days later and then the whole cheating scandal and i dont know it pisses me off cuz cotto is a real good fighter and people are just haters cuz floyd has dodged him when everyone knows that's the fight everyone wants to see.
He did quit bro. What the fans consider a quitter is a person who doesn't continue the fight even though they are standing. Thats a quitter. In all honesty, no double standards. Thats what a quitter is, therefore he did quit. Jack Dempsey never quit. Ali never quit. Marciano never quit. Marquez never quit. But Cotto took that knee and didn't want to continue. Quitter.
From an Athlete's perspective. He took alot of punishment. He had the heart to continue fighting but just couldn't continue so he quit. So, I believe he has heart but at the same time, the "fan" in me considers his choice "quitting".
that really makes no sense man. it's stupid to continue fighting if your body is not reacting to anybody your head says. same thing happens when u roadmarch over 20 miles in soft desert sand ur feet just go numb to the point u just dont feel them u move ur thighs hoping ur lower body will respond. im sure in the rematch if it happens cotto is going to demolish him by going to him from round 1. people gotta wake up for real and give respect to those who deserve it.
Wasn't his plaster wraps covered in margaritos own blood? Which means that he used those wraps before... What just in sparring or in the cotto fight?
No. Those wraps they showed in court were fresh. They just had the block of whatever that shit was and demonstrated how you would fit it into the wraps.
Even then. "Sluggers"(brawlers sometimes too) normally have cut up hands from the way they punch. Margarito is a slugger. So its not suprising to see that his wraps would have blood on them. Friction between the wraps and your hand, tear the skin up and cause bleeding. It happens to people even in practice.

we don't know... it could've been from the cotto fight or sparring.
you can't prove that margo used plaster agaisnt cotto.
I wouldn't exuse that loss and the quittage, but I do have to factor it into consideration even though there is no proof.
exactly, who cares if cotto quit, he gave his best, that's all u can ask for.

Well, shouldn't he be excused for that one when the very next fight Margarito was found with Plaster...

Thats true. If you watch the fight you can just tell that Margaritos pressure was too much and Miguel was completely exhausted, he just didnt have anything else to give to the fans besides the great fight he had already given us.

Because he is the only fighter to ever be exhausted during a fight right?
your a retard. cotto is has quit, therefore he is a quitter, and that is FACT.
You're a very bad poster... Quitting? He possibly was fighting someone who was using plaster, is you that slow you don't understand? Why would you call the topic creator a retard, when you're the one looking like an ignorant little shit.

I agree, he's not a quitter, but he did quit against Margarito and there's no way of getting around it.

Calzaghes resume at 168:
Eubank - Was 2-3 in his last 5 bouts, then lost 2 his next two bouts. Doesn't say much
Prime Sheika - Prime? lol?
Prime Reid - An SD against Reid. Something tells me a Prime Roy Jones or Prime Hopkins would not get an SD against him
Lacy - Took him 7 years to face another champion, good win, should have moved on, but lived of it.
Kessler - finally, took him a decade to unify the worst division in history, everybody thinks he is finally going to face some real opposition, but oh look, his "fear of flying" is cured, and wants to face two pensioners in the US.
I'm not even going to waste my time on the bottom 4 lol, i cannot even believe you actually mentioned those names:
Bika
Mitchell
Veit
Woodhall
Calzaghe beat 6 former world champions at 168, and defended his world title belt 21 times. But since you're a ****ing retard you wouldn't know that.
Rofl why so angry? You have difficulties in communicating?
Face it dude, Calzaghe is talented, but his record his a farce. He should have been going against Prime RJJ, PRime Hopkins, Tarver, Toney etc.
Instead, he faced "Woodhall" :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
i just find it amusing you rate him, but not Mayweather. I'm from Britain, and i must say, you sound like your typical ignorant Chav. Would not be surprised if you really are from the UK.

exactly cotto quit because he gave 120%. can't ask anymore out of cotto.
plus after the whole plaster controversy how would YOU feel if you were cotto and felt u got cheated on in top of that. It's like some people pointed out...if your going to cheat, your going to do it on your most imp fight ( cotto!! ) not the TUNEUP. it's obvious margarito cheated against him look at how his face was
proof please.
people gotta grow up and stop calling people shit unless they are, like for example Hatton = overrated and judah a gatekeeper.
why is cotto quitting shameful? lots of HOFers quit. for instance duran quit. so why are you so touchy about it?
lets see your excuses when cotto beats clottey and im putting all my points on anyone who wants to bet.
of course cotto beats clottey in a tough fight... cotto won't want to disappoint all the boriquas on PR parade day.

Noobs and haters call him that. Anyone with any self respect or decent knowledge of boxing knows better.
