I still don't get this notion that Cotto gave it his all and that he's a warrior. They guy turned the fight into a track meet when he was hehind and then tried to quit after the 11th round. His corner had to convince him to continue. This guy has continued to fold under pressure throughout his career. The judges couldn't bail him out here like they did against Clottey. This is so irritating. The nerve of some of you guys to **** on Oscar and then praise Cotto when Cotto is a proven quitter who resorts to low blows, and running when he tastes a little leather.
**** on Oscar? The man who ran from Trinidad the entire fight, and the man who fought Manny Pacquiao and quit on his stool? When has Cotto Quit? To Who? His two losses to Margarito and Pac-man he gave his all and took a heck of a beating but still kept coming. Kenny Bayless stopped both fights, Miguel didnt stop any of them. Show a little respect for Cotto, have you ever boxed and taken a beating? I doubt it, you're just a pathetic loser who slates fighters like Gatti and Cotto because you're a *****
This is what I'm talking about. You just sat there and called Oscar a runner and a quitter, then you turn around and call me a loser for saying the same about Cotto. Wouldn't that make you a pathetic loser and a ***** as well by your standards? Oscar ran against Tito for three rounds, but he did it because he thought he had the fight won. Cotto ran from Pac when he was behind. Which is worse? Oscar quit against Pac when he was well past it and drained from coming down 7 lbs. to a weight he hadn't fought at for years. Cotto was in his prime, at his weight class when he quit against Margo(for the record, Cotto took two knees and nodded to his corner. He said afterwards that it was his decision to quit). He tried to quit against Pac, and had to be talked out of it. Again, which was worse? I seriously I don't understand your thinking. How can sit there and say Cotto is a warrior who gave it his all when stopped trying to win, ran, and tried to quit?
Agreed.:good He is not a warrior but was a popular fighter. Gatti/Marquez/Barrera/Morales/Hagler...Those are warriors.
