    Oh, it was definitely a great fight....just the sight of seeing Arguello sat there, not wanting to fight any more...and the mutual respect afterwards.

    Apparantly they're still great friends now!

    I feel ya. I felt the same way with Morales/Pac 3. It was gut wrenching to watch a guy who seemed offended when he got hit, sitting there shaking his head not wanting to continue.

    As I've said before--The torch wasn't passed, Pacquiao took it and beat the **** out of Morales with it.

    I'm not surprised. Alexis was a credit to the sport, class in and out of the ring. He lost to a worthy champion in Pryor, but I can't help think had he fought anyone else that night (Arguello/Pryor 1), he would have been a 3 weight world champion. Alexis was poetry in motion.

    For such a lanky guy who was well conditioned, Alexis Arguello was always kinda' slower than ****.... His hand and foot speed was below average for a dude his size... Yet, his power was there...:bbb

    You friggin' sadist. :twisted:

    JK!!! It was a helluva fight, but the first 6 rounds are the one that interest me the most. :D
    Wish Miguel could continue doing what he did early on.

    The whole fight interested me. Cotto doesn't get enough credit for the way he fought, even late on. He was still landing unbelievable shots on Margarito, but he was getting walked down, giving Margarito opportunities to use the uppercut. One hell of a fight. I'll watch it again the first chance I get.

    They went unnoticed by me and a lot of observors, including the commentators. I looked at Cotto's face and was like how the hell did he recieve that much punishment. Rewatched the fight, so many short little uppercuts landed on Cotto on the inside. It was brutal.

    :yep Margarito did a great job at it especially in the second half. He realized damn the left uppercut is connecting almost at will and once he realized it he never stopped throwing them. :bbb

    That man in your avatar gave up when he fought Aaron Pryor the second time. So did Morales against Pac in one of their fights. It comes to a point where the body gives out, and your spirits are broken. And the logical thing to do is be counted out, because the body can take no more, and the mind gives into this feeling in the body.

    Nothing wrong with this, and it is often the best decision in some cases. Doesn't stop anyone from being a warrior and it is no same in this, as you say.
