    Even when I show you evidence you still keep arguing?

    I told people not to overlook Antonio, that doesn't mean Cotto quit...oh and you were next to a judge, but I thought you were next to the drs in fight 2 too? And I suppose being next to a judge made you hear Cotto's thinking?

    Also he took a knee but he got up and kept fighting.

    Fight 1 was registered as a TKO victory for Margarito Jeez the ref only had to look at him to see he wasn't fit to continue. I never saw any towel & I was ringside

    That still doesnt make him a quitter.

    Arturo Gatti went down to a knee in round nine of his first fight with Micky Ward after a body shot.....in your mind he must be a quitter too. But he lasted the ten rounds.

    Like I said, case closed. i am right, you are wrong and that's it.

    Oh but before we are finished, were you by the judge or by Cotto's corner? Cause you seem a bit confused, or maybe you split yourself in two so you could sit at both places at the same time?

    Fighters who refuse to quit are the most mentally weak and cowardly of all :facepalm:

    The reason they're reluctant to quit is not because they're fearless uber masculine warriors like they like to portray themselves as. They're reluctant to do so because of they're riddled with deep-rooted insecurity, feelings of inadequacy and fear. The fear of what others think of them and the stigma that comes with being labeled a quitter :facepalm:

    Whereas, conversely, quitters are much more secure within themselves and don't have to seek validation from others in order to feel good about themselves.

    Quitters don't quit because they're scared or weak. They quit for the simple reason it bloody hurts when you're taking an ass whooping and the best thing to do in that situation is lick your wounds, regroup and live to fight another day. :facepalm:

    Amateur hour, but to me it seems like you have this view because you've personally struggled a lot with caring an excessive amount about what other people think of you, so you think it's a more severe form of mental weakness.
