If you label yourself as a warrior, you should be ridiculed if you quit

      some of u guys take this **** so literally. Of course these guys are going say they're warriors, they want to sell the fight. You think they're going to say hey I'm a practical minded fighter, and I'll take a knee or quit on my stool if things aren't working out? Yeah, that's going to sell tickets.

        ^^^^This. Real warriors are the guys the go to a real WAR! The guys the put their lives on the line to defend whatever country you're from and sometimes lose that life. These guys are highly paid pro athletes. Learn the difference.

            In reality a warrior would never quit, he would go on his shield and give it his very best until the bitter end.

            This is why Cotto is laughed at when he chose willingly to take two knees against Margarito, when he has the chance to go out like a warrior. The funny thing is, Cotto was labelled the “man breaking” and “beat you up guy”. Yet when he faced in adversity in a Mexican warrior named Margarito he choose the cowardly(Rican) way out. Not only was he satisfied with taking a knee, he took it in front of his fans and his family. A warrior would never quit in front of his kids. He would teach his son, never give up and always give your best shot and never say no. But now Cotto son is set up for failure. Whenever he tries to do something hard, he will just quit and move on.

            Duran should also be taunted and ridiculed until the end of time. The man is biggest quitter in boxing history. Cotto at least has some form of dignity left due to Margarito punches brutalized his perfectly plucked eyebrows. Duran knew he was going to loss, but his hands up and said no words that will forever shame and tarnish his overrated legacy “ No Mas”.

            But now let’s compare Cotto to Margarito. Margarito is a true warrior, no if or buts about it. He went on his shield against roids Mosley. He could have called it quits in round 8, but like a true Aztec warrior he was never going to take 2 knees or quit. He knew his fate; he knew he was going to be KO’d in front of his faithful fans. He took Mosleys brutal punches with a smile. Margarito kids will succeed in life. They will have the attitude of never say die. When faced with adversity they will laugh at it and say bring it on.

            I read somewhere, that a Mexican sees death, they chase, make to love and befriend. Or something like that. Great quote
            Also this is why Nate Campbell is discredited. He calls himself the The
            Galaxxy Warrior, yet quit. How shameful

            But if a fighter like Paulie M quit, I wouldn’t care. He doesn’t label himself a warrior. He doesn’t think he is Mancho and so on.
            So according to your thrid world logic its ok to continue to get plastered (literally) to prove you are a true warrrior? STFU!
            Hey vargas is that you? Are you trying to be releveant again at 250+ pds?

            The fact that cotto withstood that punishment for 11 rounds shows he does have heart and did all he could. Not to mention because he took those knees is the reason he can continue to fight big fights and get paid millions of dollars doing so.

            But yourdumb ass would rather him go out on his shield to entertain you and so you can call him a warrior
            hahahahha

              nope.

              cotto isn't a warrior because he quit.

              even cotto admitted to quitting.

                I don't think Cotto ever labelled himself as a warrior. He is a quiet man but if he did, then he certainly has proven he can carry on in tough fights. I.E. a very bad cut VS Clottey.

                Agaainst Marg, there is a lot of issues over what he was hit with. He was a warrior to take it, and although I do feel a true warrior takes it til the end, he actually tried and stayed up for that long.

                If your logic is correct, then many are not warriors. How many fierce brawler/warrior/boxers have quit? quite a few.

                      cotto is not a warrior, but he's a very good boxer who is prone to quitting if you put enough pressure on him
