His body gave up on him, he had nothing left in the tank and could have gotten severely hurt possibly borderline killed. Margarito was going to keep hurting him and wasn't going to stop. Not even by taking a second knee he could of regained any more strength to continue, his uncle did the right thing.

In a way he did quit. I'm sorry man but if your the champion you give everything you got, you leave nothing in that ring and I know for a fact Cotto didn't give everything. The dude RAAAN to the lockeroom at the end of the fight! If he gave everything he had he would have been carried off in a stretcher, not sprinting to the locker room. But again, that's just my opinion. Great fight none the less. Both fighters were phenominal.Comment

yes cotto quit. look how he just gives up. you can tell. he collapsed in front of margarito and gave upComment

he definately went to duck that punch...
he clearly didnt SLIP...
MAYBE...just MAYBE he was so exhausted his leg gave out when he ducked the punch?
or he could have done it on purpose...
you cant say for sure...
we have to wait for miguel cotto to tell us if he purposely took the knee or if it was a slip/leg gave out.Comment

................
Cotto was done and did the smart thing........
first kneel down was a tactic to see if he could gain some time and recover....
second kneel down he knew he didnt have the energy to continue....
so he took a knee ....got up....was thinking about it ...and said **** this im done.....
plus what the clip dosent show is that the ref had his back to cottos corner when cotto got up from the second kneel down....
cotto looked at his corner saw his cornerman with the towel and winked / nodded yes....
most boxers who wanna fight usually protest or carry on as to why are you stopping the fight....
after the wink/nod the ref finally saw the corner and the rest is history......
but i think cotto did the smart thing during the first kneel down and the second.......
anyone who takes that much punishment makes a smart decision by conceding the win.......
now you may say well he's not tough enough.....
but usually those who are are left with brain damage.......
and cotto still has alot of future in front of him whether it be in boxing or the rest of his life out of boxing he is still a young guy with a family that he can enjoy his money and time with.. without having to mumble, slur and studder his words.Comment

You see the thing is who would of ever thought the great Cottocop the invincible one to even being compared to Julio Cesar Chavez and better than Mayweather would of got a beating that bad. I mean it was a very bad beating, It looked bad for him to take that knee which makes him a QUITTERComment

No he didn't quit. Was his will broken, no doubt. Margarito forced that for 11 rds, but Cotto didn't quit.Comment

this "could of been hurt" stuff is a load of bollocks
if your not prepared to take physical punishment, you shouldn't be a boxer!!!!
the fact of the matter is cotto doesn't mind dishing it out, but he can't take it back!!
cotto is an on top fighter, it was so funny to see the look on his face when he realised he cant hurt tonyComment
