Only in this era of boxing could someone like Miguel Cotto be considered a warrior

[prinzemanspopa]

whether running or taking knees.. still continuing and taking punishment.

He was running and taking knee's to avoid punishment - Warriors don't do that.In regards to cuts,they're a common theme in boxing.Just because a commentator points it out and chooses to highlight it through the course of a fight,does not make it anything more than a cut.I've seen far worse cuts and I've seen fighters deal with them as they were not even there.


I suggest you start watching fights that aren't limited to the last five years,lad.

If you want sir you and I can sparr I load up my gloves and wear a head gear. you use no head gear and 16 oz gloves. then maybe you would understand why every boxer should be called a warrior

[Bushbaby]

He fights guys that can beat him, He fights CLEAN, He doesn't clintch or hugs, He gives it all in each fight. Maybe you are confusing Warrior with Super Heroe.

End tread with this,imagine if Pacman or Floyd had his heart!!

[krispy kreme]

His best win is a close decision many thought he lost. He joins a list of Margarito recent KO victims that include Kermit Cintron and Golden Johnson.

Before the split decision against Mosley his best win was.........wait for it..............

Cotto is just plain overrated.

DeMarcus Corley
Ricardo Torres
Paul Malignaggi
Carlos Quintana
Zab Judah
Shane Mosley
Joshua Clottey

All top fighters in their respective weight classes, he out boxed Mosley and had shown plenty versatility.

If Joshua Clottey had more pride and heart, you can make a case for him winning. He's physically tough, mentally he falls apart.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

That is exactly how I feel about him. He is a glorified B (being generous) level fighter.

The bold is ridiculous.

I really can't believe the T.S. even gave this any thought, the guy goes in the ring and fights his a$$ off, doesn't worry about purse, doesn't worry about Plaster, doesn't worry about PED's, that's not a WARRIOR.

FOR THE GUYS WHO DON'T CONSIDER HIM A WARRIOR, WHO IS A WARRIOR IN THIS ERA?

That right there is enough to show you Cotto isn't an A level fighter. Everyone you mentioned are B or C level fighters. Clottey is not impressive and is a B fighter himself.

Mayweather is an A level fighter. Pacquiao is an A level fighter. Cotto isn't not. Not even close. He'd barely crack PR's top 10, that is if he even made it.

See, before people start running their mouths they should get their facts straight.

Mosley fight was not a split decision it was a deserved UD. And "many" don't think he lost....the VAST majority of the boxing world understands and acknowledges that it was a close but clear victory for Cotto.

And people overrate this "warrior" term. The TS said Margarito took his beating like a man?

What is so honorable about being outclassed and getting destroyed, but letting the guy beat the **** out of you even more just so you can say "oh I didn't stay down".

That is not being a warrior, that is being an idiot.

[Gordon Gekko]

The bold is ridiculous.

Why? You could easily make him a B- fighter. B is generous. Not that I give two shits what you think.
