Cotto showed more heart than Roy Jones did

????? Cotto TOO could have finished a fight if he stayed in the crab postition and took hits on his forearms all night. Man I was rootin for Roy, but he went out like a man having flashbacks to the time when his dad was whoopin his ass and allhe could do is cover up and pray.
Cotto fought like a champ for 9 rounds with a ****ed up nose and still tried to WIN. Roy fought to SURVIVE.Comment

A prime Roy would've had jumped Joe in the 1st after the KO and either forced a KO or a refereee stoppage TKO.
Let's not forget, this wasn't a flash knockdown. Joe was genuinely hurt for a good minute there.Comment

Roy quit in the 2nd round. He quit by REFUSING to fightback. BIG difference. DOn't lie to yourself for another minute... it's bad for you. Roy went out like a *****, and Cotto took a knee when he knew he had no more in the tank But he at least TRIED. Roy went out like a victim of spousal abuse. "argh!" "Noooooo!!!" "Why!!!!!" "Ugh!"

I was shouting at the tv telling jones to attack calzaghe. Calzaghe was stunned it was very obvious. The old roy would have stormed calzaghe as soon as he got up, he would have thrown so many punches that even if only half were landing the ref would have had no choice but to step in. Instead jones was too scared to throw in fear of getting hit.Comment

This is a really tough one to pick, honestly. It's not cut and dry, black and white, straight down the middle like most picks.
On the one hand you have a prime Cotto, giving his best to Margarito for 11 solid rounds. Hitting him with everything he had left before finally bowing down to the better man and quitting to avoid taking further punishment.
On the other hand you have a shot Jones, seeming content to hide in the corner for th emajority of the fight with his earmuffs on. Even when Joe dropped his hands and tried to make a show of it, Roy wouldn't throw a single punch. He was scared ****less.
I don't know man, I just don't know. One part of me wants to scream "Cotto showed more heart!" but the other part of me wants to scream "Roy was 7 years past his prime and completely shot!".Comment
