    I'm sure both would take a knee if they take a beating like that. He didn't want to take a knee His body just give up. Watch the fight again you moron keyboard tough guy. He was koed He did not give up fans like you make boxing look bad. ****ing hate when people say a boxer is a quitter because they make them look bad by not wanting to get killed or His body could not take more punches. a Quitter is Duran or fighter that simply didn't want to fight.

    Cotto quit. He was tired and in a lot ofbpain. And he took a knee, twice and quit. He was not dazed, stunned or in danger of losing consciousness.

    He just simply took a knee and handed over the victory to Margarito.

    Exactly He was tired and badly beaten His body give up, If He was quitting in the first knee He would had quit He tried but could not manage to do it. Thats for me is not quitting.

    Quitting because you're tired and beaten is not the same as I can't beat the count or I'm put on my feet.

    Cotto was tired and he quit. Everybody gets tired man. Its boxing. Margarito was also tired in that fight too. He threw a million punches. Its cardio dumbass, you get tired.
