I would respect him more even he wasn't such a sore loser crybaby similar to marquez they can't accept defeat too much ego and pride -
the word warrior gets thrown around too easily around here. I dont consider Miguel Cotto a warrior.Comment

especially not Floyd. For me warriors in Boxing are people like Gatti, Orlando Salido, Corrales etc. Cotto doesn't fight like those guys tho I respect him for do taking on challenges.Comment

Not sure how you define 'warrior', but I feel Cotto leaves it all in the ring. For example, against Margarito in the first bout, although Cotto had taken a knee, it was at the point where he had nothing left, quite understandable given the punishment he had endured and given his all prior to the end. Against Clottey, he overcame a nasty cut to the eye early and prevailed in the end, although controversially. He showed great will when dropped and wobbled several times in the Ricardo Torres fight, which I feel is greatly overlooked.
My opinion may be subjective, but even if you are impartial, you'd be hard pressed to deny his courage and will in the ring, especially against the calibre of opponents he has faced. The Martinez fight may answer your questions because I personally feel he will struggle and have to overcome adversity against the naturally bigger man, who will no doubt be favoured if they ever meet.Comment
