Did Miguel Cotto quit??

[Flawless]

First knockdown, no. Second knockdown where he "took a knee" or just litteraly fell in front of Margarito, he did look like he quit. But that dosen't make him any less of a warrior than he was before. Cotto is a warrior with alot of heart, and he'll bounce back.

Of course it doesn't make him a less of a warrior. He is always a warrior in my eyes. I was just saying that second knock down he looked like he gave up. No hate towards Cotto but facts.

[Silencers]

He went to his knees because he was trying to buy time and from what I know, Cotto was very emotional in his dressing room after the fight, doesn't sound like a quitter to me.

Anyways, that's it. I don't think I'll be able to convince you guys that he didn't quit.

He didn't even nod at the ref that he wanted to go. He just stood there in shock, and couldn't believe what was happening to him. If he was able to continue why did he run to the corner and get on his knee not once but Twice. Then he got up with in a state of confusion and looked at his corner and walked straight at them. He didn't look like he care what had happened he wanted to leave the ring as fast as possible.

He was physically stunned and not thinking well. I don't know if that means he "quit".
Zoo quit I thought actually, but there's room for interpretation in every fight.
I can't pretend to know what Cotto was thinking but he sure as hell looked disoriented to me.

Exactly, Cotto had very little left but was still willing to fight on had his corner not stepped in and stopped the fight, that doesn't signify quitting.

I kind of agree that Cotto would have fought on if his corner didnt step in but he wanted his corner TO step in, He looked to his corner to quit for him. He didnt even put his hands up when the referee was talking to him.

Quit is a strong word but he was looking to get out of there IMO.

Are you bitter toward Cotto because you lost your bets, Flawless? Is that why you're trying to prove he quit?

You should try to be a better sport, and understand that Cotto gave it everything he had.

jreckoning tell his fool what I have just sent you on a pm. Does it sound like a hateful message towards Maragrito or anything about Cotto>

Flawless, you're a ****** for creating this thread.

Cotto fought bravely against a relentless opponent. He did his absolute best - he was hurt in an earlier round, but came back to win a round or two after that.

Cotto's corner threw in the towel because they saw his face was bloody and battered, and he was no longer able to defend himself.

Miguel Cotto is no quitter, and he has a lot more courage than the cowardly Floyd Mayweather, who would never, ever have the balls to fight Margarito.

...I didn't see the fight, but from what I was told by people who know "quitting", he "quit"...he may have had reason, but never-the-less he did quit...and once they "quit" in a tough one, it becomes "easier to quit" each time after...he still might be "competitive", as long as they really pick easy fights for him...what was that thing I've posted on here a time or 2, "a good big man will beat a good small man"...

Agreed i mean Margarito didnt even land any punch when Cotto went down the second time, He didnt seem like he had anything left..He was looking for a way out and his corner gave it to him.
