Did Miguel Cotto quit??

[Flawless]

It's Floyd Mayweather fans like yourself who have no class and are poor sports.

Why not be fair to Cotto, and give him credit for being the warrior he is? He didn't quit, he would have continued even though he was badly hurt. There's no quit in him - he's no coward like Floyd.

Tunney, If you are so obsessed with Mayweather and his fans I will make a thread for you to bash him and his fans. But this thread is about Cotto. Why does everything become a Mayweather thread. This thread is about Maragrito broke down Cotto and made him quit.

Hell yeah he quit, I'm a Cotto fan and I think he pussied out. Im sorry man if Im champion Im not walking out of that ring unless I won or they carried me off in a stretcher, period. No heart man.

[Silencers]

Wrong, taking a knee TWICE means you quit. I understand taking a knee one time to buy time, I get that...but Cotto too TWO knees, looked to his corner as if to say "I'm done" and his corner quit with him.

I may be old school but a real warrior goes out on his back, gets KO'd out. I bet you Marg doesn't take a knee, he get's KO'd out.

He knew he was hurt, taking two knees buys him at least 16 seconds to recover and he doesn't look at his corner until his uncle steps onto the apron.

Cotto doesn't nod his head at the ref. He looks lost and speechless and he knew the fight was over. The way he had his hands down and how he walked straight to his trainer with hesitation.

Even this Cotto fan is not denying it.

No, his corner threw in the towel but he may have been ready to.

yeah, thread should've ended right here...

In Margarito-Cotto:


Bayless breaks the action in one corner.

Cotto backs up into the other corner and kneels before Margarito can land a shot.

Cotto gets to his feet, takes a few paces and looks to his corner for help.

The towel doesn't come in until Cotto looks to his corner in a world of confusion and hurt.

Then the corner step in and the fight is over.




It's cruel to see a guy who seemed invincible to so many go down like that.

But that's what happened.


Cotto quit to live and fight another day.

He knew he was only getting hurt worst.

if thats your opinion then fine.

The point was he was willing to continue, thus meaning he didn't quit, he would have continued if his trainer hadn't intervened.

Did Ali quit against Holmes?
Corrales against Mayweather?
Frazier against Ali?

Body language doesn't mean he quit, quitting means he would have said no had the referee asked him to continue, he would have said yes.

And Judah did show a lot of heart to stand up to the beating he took.

We could argue the **** all day.

I think he was waiting until his corner took the choice of whether to go continue out of his hands.

He had the look of a fighter who was waiting for it to be stopped, in my mind.




But I don't really care if he quit or not.

Miguel had a right to save himself from more beating.




Just so long as the bitchasses who tore Judah down get to eat they own faeces.

[The Hammer]

People deal with reality. Cotto quit, running to the corner and the way he didn't even argue with the ref. He knew it was over. He quit, what a shameful way to end a great fight

Nothing shameful about it at all. Cotto was badly hurt, his face battered and bleeding, yet he was ready to continue. What more can we ask of him?

What is shameful, is Floyd's ducking Margarito and Cotto, and then retiring to duck De La Hoya, after he saw DLH fight well against Forbes. Now that's a disgrace!
