who quit in a more cowardly fashion - cotto or margarito?

[own]

i saw people arguing back and forth in another thread about who quit in worse fashion so lets take a vote. i expect the ricans to vote for cotto and the mexicans to vote for there guy so we'll just factor in the clearly unbiased posters as the deciding votes.

cotto: bloody, battered, shattered, broken nose, (possibly being beaten with plastered hands), ate uppercut after uppercut, and quit from what looked to be exhaustion taking a knee without even being hit.

margarito: no blood from what i can recall, ate body shot after body shot, ate mosleys bombs and right hands all night with glee, got knocked down and was able to continue (although he didn't take the necessary steps forward towards the referee in the opinion of many), then got knocked down in the following round - with a smile on his face

At least you're not biased or anything. Maybe we should go back in time and put bricks in Mosley's hands, have the fight, then we can do your poll again.

This poll is not accurate. Neither man quit at all. It's not like they gave up and resigned like Oscar, they were just either beaten into taking a break by plaster of paris (Cotto, maybe) or tried to stand up until their head got punched off.(Margarito, maybe) Both men were brutalized, but I think Margarito got worse than Cotto did. Cotto didn't get knocked down by a punch while Marg's clearly got hurt and dropped hard twice.

Both men should be commended for their heart and they didn't give up or stop trying to win.

Note* Taking a knee is not quiting unless you get the full 10 count.

A truly dumb post. Neither quit. Cotto was done, Margarito was KO'd.

on his shield - with a smile on his face?

was it a smile of disbelief that he got his ass whipped so profoundly?

was it a smile of it all goes down hill from here i've been exposed?

i just don't see how people can compare how the fights ended.

cotto was absolutely broken.

i'm not saying margarito could've continued much further but it wasn't the same at all.

Margarito Quit? i think i remember the corner asking him if he wanted to stop it and said no.
Cotto never quit margarito just beat the fight out of him

[RAESAAD]

neither quit like a coward.....I'd like to see your ***** ass get in there and take that kind of punishment. Both corners threw in the towels too if I remember correctly......I don't remember either fighter actually quitting.
