Miguel Cotto and quiting in fights

[General Zod]

Did Cotto quit in those fights? Yes. Would I label him a coward? No. Cotto has had a lot of wars over the years. Sooner or later they catch up to you. Sometimes fighters are too brave for their own good.

Sometimes fighters have to be protected from themselves, like in Bowe Golota II

that's ****ed up. a trainer should know when something is wrong with their boxer

I think his trainer was only thinking about the purse he would get for the proposed Jones McClellan fight, which supposed to come next. I'm sure Bowe's team were only thinking about the Tyson fight while they let Bowe take that beating.

that's scummy

A lot of people gave this guy crap for quitting in the Marg fight, but I don't think its fair to judge any fighter who quits. They are the ones taking the punches, not us. By buying tickets to their fights, we get the right to watch them fight, not to die for our entertainment. I felt that the last couple of rounds of his Pac fight were disturbing and uncalled for and I feel he hung in their to prove all his doubters wrong.

I hope Cotto wins his next fight and then retires.

Anyone here agree or disagree?

just because you don't get ko'ed , doesn't mean you can still go on..
You can still take a beating,yet feel you just can't continue.

My viewpoint as well

Cotto was getting hammered by a guy using plaster in his wraps, he had a hole in his head, and not just a cut.

I agree, but in those instances a fighter has to take his career into his own hands

I heard he had some king of puncture in his cheek or something like that, a very strange injury to have. I suspect that Marg was using loaded wraps as well, but of course I cant prove that.

Miguel Cotto is nothing more than a fraud created by HBO hype. I have never seen an overrated fighter in my life.

This man was brutally exposed by one dimensional fighter. He was forced to take two cowardly knees in the face of adversity. Cotto doesn't know the meaning of self-respect and honour. Instead he; few away those key important characteristic of a male when he imprinted his two knees on the canvas that faithful night. Nor was he not satisfied with his self-imposed humiliated. He had disgrace his country and his family throwing away his manliness when he took those cowardly needless knees.

Which made the situation even more degrading was how Cotto claimed to be a warrior numerous takes but instead choose the cowardly way
