    Victor Ortiz, Zab Judah. If those guys had to take the assault that Cotto took from Margarito they would **** themselves in the ring, before leap frogging outside the ring Kermit Cintron style.

      I don't think people know what mental strength is. When it is clear that the only thing ahead of you is a beating, continuing would be a result of your machismo; it actually takes mental strength to sacrifice your pride for the sake of your health.

      That's not to say persevering through a beating is a sign of mental weakness. It is to say that it is entirely dependant on the circumstances of the fight and position of the fighter.

      As far as I'm concerned, mental weakness is stepping into the ring with loaded wraps against an aged underdog. It shows a lack of confidence which, in the case of Margarito, was well placed in light of the pasting Mosley gave him.

      Boxers are treated like slabs of meat. In any other sport, an athlete gets injured and people would clap them off of the field. In boxing, someone could have a broken jaw, nose and hand, whilst hobbling around with a concussion, and some schmuck would see fit to call him a quitter.

        Cotto is one of the mentally strongest dudes in the game. Guys that took the punishment his taken quit the sport and never return to prime time so you are an idiot to think he is mentallt weak.

                No Cotto is Not! The biggest issue with Cotto is his mentally sate. If he begins to lose...he folds up! While hes confident hes on top of his game. But when he is losing and he has to dig deep he gets weary. Not saying hes not a tough SOB he is! Just because he can take a beating dont mean he is Mentally strong!
