He always quit the sport every ass kicking. I like fighters who pull themselves up by the bootstraps and keep on fighting when coming off of a loss.
He couldn't take losing. Like Sergio said, you have to know how to win and know how to lose.
So you're calling Tito a quitter (who never quit in the ring), yet you're praising Miguel Cotto, who is a beast and warrior but has actually quit twice?

I'm pretty sure he quit just once, but who's counting. But he didn't retire, he attempted to get better. I can respect that. Tito never did. He kept retiring before coming back a shell, looking like a massive whale at 170 to fight another shot fighter before being mercifully retired for good.
It takes alot of heart to get your ass kicked but have the desire to keep fighting, that's why I praise Cotto.

I'll never understand that sense of self entitlement to think we can question ones' in and out of the sport. He fought his heart out in the ring where it matters, that's all that counts.
I actually feel a little bad for Tito. This should have been a nice moment for him going into the HOF like that. Cotto winning this weekend absolutely trounced that. Nice to see him embrace Cotto's great victory.
