i havent seen it in nerly a year, but i saw it today, and MY GOD watta fight!
it really is the breakdown of a man in a fight,
cotto was winning early, but then faded when he
folded under pressure, but it was a crazy fight.
my question to everyone is, if YOU were cotto in the fight,
do you think you would've took a nee, or fight with the blood and pain???
but taking a knee is not that bad. what about if taylor would of taken a knee instead of getting ko. he would of won the fight. he was 4 points ahead in 2 of the scorecard
I think next time, Margarito should agree not to use illegal pads but instead, should be allowed to use a baseball bat and bludgeon Cotto to near death and when Cotto takes a knee, we can all retort: "see Cotto really is a quitter".
What really sucks, is what kind of a genuine fool I felt like when I watched Margarito/Mosley fight. Because after the Cotto fight I had such a good feeling about Margarito, he got embarrased for six rounds but took it and walked his man down. But when I was watching him in the Mosley fight and you could see from the get go, that he wasn't right that he was disturbed and Mosley was walking through him, like he had nothing. As a fan of his, I felt like a complete fool. I just hope that the damage that Cotto suffered, was more mental than anything and that his best is yet to come.
Hell yea!
I saw that also, and you know what I also believe that he did not train very well for this fight also because he was trusting his plaster. Thats why IMO Mosley took him out so easily.
Cotto did the right thing to take a knee and ask for the corner to throw in the towel. Thats how I saw it.
All this BS that he is mentally hurt is just that BS. If that was the case he would have avoided clotty.
You hear people like Atlas say that Margarito fight took alot out of cotto. I think Cotto showed more heart in Clottey fight than in ANY OTHER fight he has ever had. I think Clottey fight made cotto more dangerous in that he is not going out like he did in margarito fight. That is scary, considering Clottey is way bigger/stronger than pacman.
When you look at the introductions for Cotto vs Margarito, Margarito looks cocky and confident. When you look at intro for Mosley vs Margarito after "substance" was removed from gloves,Margarito looks scared and lost. Go look at it.

FIXED IT BRO :boxing: Exactly ! Right now he is probably relaxing or training. If he would've been knocked OUT or seriously hurt he might not be boxing or NO WAY had the heart to finish that clottey fight. Think about the beating cotto got in that fight and look how he was ALL-Heart against a boxer who i think is better than margarito. I'm telling you, that margarito fight is funny. He can beat mosley but gets killed by margo? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
With recent news of boxers dying after taking shots they probably shouldn't have I have no problem with Cotto opting to bow out and give Margarito his props. I for one have just started boxing and currently sparring and I can tell you that taking shots even with headgear on is not fun. Doing what you have to do to preserve your life and career is nothing to criticize a boxer about. Had Cotto been injured during the fight permanently all the people making fun of him would probably be singing a different tune and saying the fight should have stopped.
I would never take a knee. I'm not like Cotto. Never give up or you will regret it for the rest of your life. Do you want your children to think you're a coward? Your boy can't even look you in the face no more. What a nightmare.
i really want 2 see u fight with a bloody ass nose a fuked up eye n a guy hitting u with bricks...

Hey you fukkking idiot did you forget what happen last week in the Omar chavez fight.
Just goes to show you when you bully plaster boy he can be bullied, but Cotto's problem is he should have thrown everything he had in the tank for the first 5 rounds and went for the knockout like Mosley did.
Well, except PWill and Clottey. :rofl:
no, becaz honestly paul and clottey didnt get hit half as much as cotto did in his fight with margo.
cotto took the most punches
thanx for the responses guys, cotto gets alot of flak for quiting, but i dont think many people couldve fought like he did.
Well, except PWill and Clottey. :rofl:
I don't understand how anyone can think badly of Cotto because of that fight. Margarito broke his will, if that fight had finished Cotto's health would have been put in serious jeopardy, especially if Margarito was using plaster, which we will never know. It is alright to bow out if you know you have given everything you can and simply cannot continue..
