I'm sorry but Cotto is not the warrior fans make him out to be.

Quite often? atsch Another one....great...

 

You're a ****wit.

 

He ran from clottey the last rounds but somehow they say cotto won those by doing nothing and that made him a brave warrior. yeah whatever

 

NO, I said:

Do you see "tougher" anywhere??


You've got a smart mouth, IDIOT. Cotto effectively withstood more than Cotto could withstand in that fight. Try ACTUALLY WATCHING it again and you'll know what the **** I'm talking about.

My reference was specifically aimed at the MARGARITO FIGHT and the KNEES. READ IT AGAIN. Cotto was very brave in the Margarito fight, largely because of his psychology as an undefeated fighter.

Think I don't know about this subject?? CLUE IN:

Not only is this FOOL contradicting himself, he's speaking complete nonsense.

 

Just to answer this question:
If a fighter says he's done, he's done. That's my opinion. It's his choice to make, and I wouldn't question it. But I think a young fighter is more apt to make that choice because he isn't quite sure where his limits are yet, and may not have the experience necessary to survive the fight and regroup. That's the kind of think that most fighters learn gradually, as they go.

 

what a stupid mafaka!

 

who the **** are you then?

 

Sorry, but where did you get this information from? Did you have tests run on him? Have you carefully calculated how much he could withstand using excel spreadsheets and an abacus?

He got beat up. He took the same type of beating hundreds of boxers a year take, from journeymen to champions. He didn't suffer long term effects. He wasn't rendered unconscious, which is obviously the point at which a person has actually surpassed their own limits of tolerance.

He was simply tired of getting beat and put a knee down for his own health. He said as much:

"I think in my case it was harder to put a knee down, like you said I didn’t have a loss in my record and to lose this way it was difficult for me, but I want health and I want to see my children grow up and that's what matters."

If you're not talking about his whether or not the guy has the mental fortitude to withstand abuse (hey, perhaps toughness would be a great synonym for that) then I'm not even sure why you're here. You keep getting off on these random non-sequitors, talking about how he relates to some portion of the general population as if that's relevant. The general population isn't paid to take abuse. You wouldn't expect it of them.

 

He's gone into survival mode against Margarito, Clottey, and Pacquiao. Against one he took a knee (twice). Against the other two he simply ran at the end of the fight when he had no other answers. That's often enough, considering those are three of his four biggest fights.

 

Why isn't something done about it then? Is there any dignity to this forum at all? Someone could have posted the best thread in history but no one would read it because of threads like this one. Pathetic :deal

 

Wait... So YOU are going to tell ME what I mean?? You're going to tell me my chosen CONTEXT when it is YOU who is contradicting himself?? Let me enlighten you. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER TO HAVE MENTAL FORTITUDE. That's what you have effectively attempted to claim. The opposite. That's GENERIC, dude. PURELY. And asbolutely BORING and STUPID to go on top of that.

The rest of your post exposes how little you genuinely know about Miguel Cotto as a fighter. Especially this. ^ QUITE SIMPLY. I've watched ALL his ****ing fights. I've seen him rocked, wobbled, and retreating ALL those occassions. THAT'S HOW. From N'dou to Pacquiao. HAVE YOU?? NO. Clearly not.

 

cotto is a better fighter than we thought fighting every fight with jacory harris hanging off his genitalia. pretty amazing
