WTF so what if Cotto quit

[LoloChivas]

cotto clearly shook his head no to his corner like he didnt want no more but i dont blame him he was tired and hurt and could have been seriously hurt.he fought the wrong fight against marg.

fortunatly for him he wont have to fight him again because mosley will beat marg and setup a rematch with cotto.

mosley wont beat marga, and even if he would marga/cotto 2 will happen.
U want to make a bet? 4k??

[deemo]

yeah i'll bet ya.

If anyone of you claiming Cotto quit and is a coward or something of that nature thinks you could take half the ass whipping he took you're a lunatic with hateristic tendencies. So what if he didn't "go out on his shield". Fighters fight to see the light of another day, the point of the sport isn't to die with honor in the ring. Stop watching movies kids. They give you an unrealistic view of how **** is supposed to be.

i'm not calling him a quitter at all. he took more in the first round than i would take. to get up like he did says alot about him but he clearly knew he was a beaten fighter at that point.

He sustained a bloody noise from round 2. Round 11 he was bleeding from the nose and mouth very badly and was in very bad condition to continue. Why should he continue to take unnecessary punishment when clearly Margarito was the better man that night?

How can you call him a coward when he was among the very few that even stepped in he ring with Margarito? Not quitting would be just plain ******, why should he risk his health and career just so the fans can get an extra few minutes of bloody action? There was no need, the fight was action packd from round 1 as Lampley said: "a modern day boxing classic".

There were only 2 rounds left. Lesser fighters have gone through a lot worse and haven't quit. Cotto shouldn't have quit. I still like him as a boxer but I don't respect that "quiting" aspect of his character until he redeems himself and shows me that he is a true warrior.

What does his fight have do with 'lesser fighters going through worse' ?


Do you honestly think that these are the types of things fighters should be thinking of when taking a savage beatdown ?

Whether or not internet forum posters will 'respect' his decision ?

Whether or not 'lesser fighters' have been through a 'lot worse' ?


It makes absolutely no sense for a beaten fighter to continue on and risk possible permanent damage, for pride.

Its easy for any of us to sit behind a computer screen and scream foul when a fighter is smart enough to know when he's beaten, and accept it.


Boxing is not a long career by any means, and the possible outcome of a brutal beating like this could take a lifelong toll.


It seems as if many of you would have 'respected' to see him just stand there and get beat to a pulp.

But what would that have proved ?

Boxing as a career, is one that it definitely pays more to be smart than brave.

Unlike De La Hoya, he gave all he has and did not quit on his stool...
