**** ALL OF YOU

Pacquaio is an ATG fighter, let that be firmly established by now.

Cotto had fought the best at 147, had been competitive in every fight he was ever in, and lost ONCE to Margarito, who was wearing loaded gloves

Everyone calling him a quitter, a coward, a bum, **** OFF

He went 12 rounds with one of the greatest fighters to ever live, took punishment that would have dropped lesser men, and refused to quit even when it was obvious to everyone he was losing.

He took punch after punch, and was determined to make to the end of the fight, to finish the fight

A lesser fight would have quit, he didnt. He kept going even in the face of brutal punishment. Out of PRIDE he did this

Anyone calling him a coward has no concept of what a FIGHTER is, of what it means to possess Will or courage or honor.

He finished the fight, to the end, on his feet, STANDING. He finished this beaten as a fighte but not as a man. He got knocked down, he got back up, he was hurt, he fought. He faced failure, he kept going, simply for the sake of FINISHING.

And in the end of the fight, when he could have bolted, left the ring, said nothing, he didnt. HE GOT UP, and he thanked Pac, and Roach, and admitted his loss, LIKE A MAN, LIKE A GENTLEMAN, and was gracious and honest and honorable. In losing he showed what he was truly made of as a man, and he is an Admirable one.

If you cannot respect that, you are hopeless, and have NO RIGHT to call yourself a sportsman, let alone a man.

Yeah, I agree, Cotto is far from being a coward, but you should cut the 'Margo beat him with loaded gloves' bull**** because it has never been proven and Manny managed to cut Cotto up far worse than Margo did, suggesting that Margo in fact did not have loaded gloves in their fight.

Cotto is truly a class act, a gentleman. He took his loss like a professional and he gave much respect to Pac and Roach. Cotto deserves some respect as a fighter because he did not quit! I like him more as a fighter and as a person, he has the most heart that i've seen in the sport since Arturo Gatti (RIP). Cotto should definitely gain more fans from this fight.

I would agree by that wasn't the cotto that beat sugar shane my friend. Much has happened since then unfortunatley.

The cotto who fought mosely would have possibly melts his rhythm and possibly got through it better maybe win maybe not, not sure

It's not?
Why because he won one and lost the other?
Are you saying that because Shane is fast that these two fights are even slightly alike? They're not.
Did Cotto end the final rounds of the Shane fight as he did against Margarito, Clottey, and Pacquaio, on the backfoot? I remember him doing so.
So, how is this Cotto different?
