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

If a fighter calls themselves a warrior, he should be taunted, teased, clowned and shamed if he decided to quit in my opinion, no two ways about it.
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.Comment

I can understand any boxer quiting or a corner throwing in a towel because they want to physically protect their fighter..
I really does not matter because at the end of the day the critics of any of those boxers that "quit" aint shiet compared to the boxers they critizice, even if you don't call your self a "warrior" you still ain't shiet compared to the boxers named in this thread.Comment

On that night he looked like he gave everything he had. He looked like he had no energy after taking those hard shots. His face was in a very bad state.
Maybe to you a warrior has to get knocked out cold. Maybe Cotto can't get knocked out cold and would have had to sustain a very bad beating.Comment

Yes he is a good boxer but he also has heart to get up when hurt. Physically he could not take the pain that night. He quit, yes, but that doesn't make him not a warrior.

are you that blind?
Come one pull. Mosley is a far stronger puncher than margs and Mosley tagged Cotto quite a few times and Cottos face was no where near that. Judah is a much more powerful puncher than margs and Cotto was not that ***ed up. I have never seen a margo opponents face so ****ed up. YOu really think that Tony hits that hard to mess up cottos face the way it did?
I know you are smarter than that pullComment
