IMO, some are confusing toughness and bravery.

Some say Cotto isn't brave or has no heart. I do not agree.

In my opinion it takes courage, more courage than he's given credit for to jump into the ring with the bigger, stronger Margarito who's already demolished him.

Margarito is a far more durable fighter than Cotto, but that doesn't mean he's braver. His body can sustain more punishment than Cotto's, but that doesn't mean he's braver, he's bigger & stronger.

It takes less heart to be beaten up by a smaller man, than for a smaller man to fight a bigger man that's already destroyed you once, IMO.

I mean Duran quit & he wasn't even getting pummeled. He was simply frustrated with Ray's reluctance to engage.

Chavez quit to the bigger, stronger, younger DLH, we won't say he's chicken.

Morrales, an excellent proven warrior quit against the always dangerous Manny Pacman, he isn't a chicken.

It takes heart to fight better men, when you know they're better, stop calling men that take blows for a living cowards. It's rather ironic considering at least half talking that nonsence do not fight for a living.

as the wise Theodore Roosevelt once said,

It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

It think this characterizes every boxer and their internet haters very well.

Who ever said Cotto has no heart or is a coward is a dumb ****...Cotto is one of the fighters of this era who went about his career the old school way..He fought everyone(well almost)and when they were at the top of their games,he's one of the best of this era and a true Warrior imo...

The braver man won.
