Who's the better fighter Margarito or Cotto?

[VatoMulatto]

but...isn't that quitting?

i know one thing...when margarito comes back...his first fight needs to be with cotto...if cotto wins...a lot of questions will be answered...

No that's not quitting IMO. He was getting beat up but tried his best to stay in the fight but in the end was dead tired had nothing left. I can't believe anyone can watch that fight and say Cotto quit.

to me...taking a knee is quitting...i know it seems like it isn't too prideful...but at the end of the day...that's you saying "i've had enough"...if he went out on his back...that's not quitting...that's you saying "i'm here and now i'm not"...i've seen a lot of fights stopped by corners, refs and doctors...none of that is on the fighter...so they didn't quit...but if you willfully say that you've had enough...i can't call it anything else but quitting...

Well to be one of the greatest you have to have fought the best competition out there, and thats' exactly what cotto has done, all the greats have lost at one points. Cotto can't be said he ducked anyone, he's fought top 5 welters, quintana, judah, clottey, mosley, and margarito. everybody knows that he'd fight floyd if he had the chance. now he's fighting an all time great in pacquiao. i think cotto is the more versatile boxer compared to Margarito. Margarito has a lot of talent but the handwraps thing is going to hunt his legacy forever i think...

Cotto is a really good fighter too Bragg, just because he lost to Margarito doesn't mean he's not.

jennings and gomez says he doesnt fight the best.

Fighters take knees to regain there composure...Quitting is looking at the Referee and saying I'm done...or not coming up off the stool.

A knee is strategic.

Cotto is better than Margarito.

[youreffinkaput]

cotto's the better fighter.

margarito's the better cheater.

FFS you morons.

[brently1979]

Cotto has far more skill that Margarito, anyone with basic Boxing knowledge can tell that.

[Talisayen]

I can't wait for a rematch and will see who's the better overall fighter.

[Nuurzhaelan]

Better fighter? Difficult to qualify, really. IF and ONLY IF margarito's gloves were not loaded (I believe they WERE LOADED), then margarito's the better fighter if for nothing else than the virtue of his insanely tough chin and overall durability. Loaded gloves or not, Cotto is DEFINITELY the better boxer, far and away.
