Well Miguel will know he was winning the fight for a good while and took part in a classic fight
Pavlik will know he was Outclassed from the opening bell and took part in a classic PERFORMANCE that will be talked about as one of the most one sided of our timeComment

I like this.
Really you can spin it however you want but you dont quit. Pavlik, by probably the 8th round knew he didnt have a chance. He could have quit, or he could have had his corner stop it. It would have been accepted too, his corner throws in the towel. "We just didnt want him to take anymore, he was too young and unexperienced for this. We made a big mistake"
Hopkins was putting the pressure on Pavlik, he didnt take a knee, he didnt turn away and quit.
Cotto was winning, all he had to do was finish the fight. You cant really compare Cotto and Peter to Pavlik.Comment

Pavlik's was worse. By miles. Cotto just made the mistake of thinking he could hurt Margarito. I dont think you could have put any other fighter in to take the shots Margarito did that night and have them keep coming. So Cotto got tired, and Margarito turned up the heat and koed him. But Cotto was winning the fight and hitting Margarito with every single punch he threw for at least half the fight. Pavlik was an undefeated young champ who was fighting a man with 3 recent losses, and lost every single round. He didnt even land a clean punch. Cotto made a tactical error trying to stop Margarito, Pavlik just got schooled.Comment

Pavlik lost to a great fighter, Cotto lost to a guy that has no skill whatsoever, just a good chinComment
