Cotto dealt with more "pressure."
Who showed more heart, Vargas against Tito or Cotto against Margarito?

VARGAS VARGAS VARGAS!
Vargas ALWAYS came forward no matter who he fought.
Vargas was hurt badly twice in round 1 of his fight with Tito and came back and turned the table on Trinidad.
So much so that Trinidad had to low blow Vargas NUMEROUS times(It seems this is something peurto rican fighter tend to do when you get the best of them i.e Cotto) and lets not forget Vargas floored Tito.
Vargas is the ultimate warrior.
If you wanted to built the ultimate warrior or soldier clone Fernando's heart and put it in every soldier or warrior.
To me a true measure of a fighter...the defining quality in my opinion is how he responds when he is hurt
I have always said Tito was overrated because when he gets in trouble he folds.
Same with Mike Tyson.
I know many of you wont agree but the truth HURTS.Comment

Is this a joke or what? Anyone who has said Cotto or "both" should kill themselves right now. Let's compare the two performances in detail:
-Vargas got knocked down TWICE in the first round and came back to put Tito on his ass on round 4 and give him what Tito considered his toughest fight, and definitely the one in which he received the most punishment
-Cotto was winning the first half of the fight and then got destroyed in the second half.
-Vargas could've used his superior boxing ability to beat Tito but decided to go toe-to-toe with the guy billed the harder puncher
-Cotto was billed the harder puncher and his performance blurred the line between "boxing" and "running"
-Vargas got knocked down twice by devastating shots that should've made the ref stop the fight, and he got up immediately after each hit.
-After taking a knee for his first knockdown, Cotto retreated without throwing one punch until the ring did not allow him to, at which point he intentionally went to the floor to escape punishment
Cotto may have been smarter in that he tried to win while avoiding punishment, and took a knee to secure his health, but this topic is not "who demonstrated more intelligence by trying to prevent serious injuries to himself while losing a fight", the topic is who showed more heart, and in this department there is no comparison.
Also, the 2000 version of Vargas DESTROYS any version of Cotto. This guy was putting the hurt on Tito and Oscar in many stages of their fights, and beat two guys with MUCH more boxing ability than Cotto in Winky and Quartey. Did I mention he beat them both before turning 22?
