Cotto lost a lot of his fans when he quit

[rskumm21]

QUITTING is when your a jr. middleweight, fighting a 130 pounder, and you refuse to come out for the 9th round!! Or throw yourself on the ring floor from a phanton left hook, just because your opponant is bigger than you, while you have been fighting smaller fighters all you career!!! NOW THAT'S QUITTING!!!!! AND YOU LOOSE A LOT OF FANS THAT WAY. LOL

You read my mind!

Dead on!!!!!!!!!!!

So his trainer, the ref, the boxing commission officals, the HBO Announcers, and just about every other sane person in the world saw it as somthing he had to do to keep from being seriously injured and You ****** ****'s still wanna call it quitting?

Thats right they are all wrong and you handful of nuts are right Bwahahahahaaha!!!

I seriously think that you guys want nothing more than to see a boxer die in the ring so they can live up to some sort of warrior macho bull**** that you guys yourselves would never live up to in your lifetimes.

And you call UFC fans barbaric!!!!

I was being sarcastic you Idiot, ofcourse Oscar needed to quit he was getting stomped, he could of got really hurt in there, Thats why I dont say **** on Vazquez either, he felt he couldnt continue, so he did the right thing and quitted, then he whooped Marquez twice. Theres no shame in quitting when you dont have anything left to bring to the fight!!!!!!!

No need to apologies, **** happends. but thanks for being big enough to apology. And is understandable the way you posted back. We have a lot of idiots on this forums!!!!!!!

[Dambala]

I can't believe some people who wants to see some fighters die in the ring. That was the best thing Cotto did, thanks to that he's able to continue with his career.

Sorry to break it for you, but Cotto admitted he quit and it wasn't his corners call but his as he talks in this interview and I respect Cotto for manning up just wished he would have stayed for the post fight interview then run off.

for the record I saw this interview, I KNEW someone would bring this up but here's to that.. it's not too hard to see that he was just shutting down **** talk that he knew was going on. he didn't want people making excuses for him or disrespecting Tony. don't get me wrong I DO think he was thinking about his family at that time but you can hear in his speech that he looks to his whole team as 1. he even said, but in Spanish, that "WE" are only 27 when HE is 27 not Evangelista and co. so to me this was just him being a sportsman coming out and accepting before the world the loss and showing his true colors as a man, he showed he's a very real person in that interview and not some cyborg as people portrayed him but a human with morals..

his thing is we all in this together, if you make a choice (Evangelista) then I (Cotto) will follow along quietly, in other words he takes the decisions of his team upon himself and they take his decisions upon themselves as well, like 1 moving train so when 1 member of the team's heart is no longer in it and he throws the towel they ALL accept the choice, they support each others calls and comply and you can tell because if you know anything about Cotto you'd know his everything when it comes to this sport is his team, he allows them FULL management of his career, pay amounts and anything else, he runs a tightly knit group and to uphold those sentiments he accepted it, he EVENTUALLY accepted it and reason I say that is because if HE truly in HIS OWN heart gave up he wouldn't have been so infuriated that he couldn't give an interview. it took time, a big moment of silence from Cotto and co. but him being the professional he is over that time he learned to accept the loss and move on about it, however it doesn't stop the fact that after that 2nd knee he rose up again and would have kept on fighting..

you can tell this is the case, had he come out his face and said I didn't want to stop, I'm mad they stopped it that would have created an image turmoil between the camp, more turmoil than what was already known about and Cotto all along has loved and respected his people, basically he wasn't going to hang them out to dry and speak against his trainers call, even though he was infuriated and gave no interview, got up from his 2nd knee and had no idea his corner was going to stop it and yet he sits there saying it was HIS call, it's clear as day the man is just accepting his defeat and consoling his fans, letting them know he's in good spirits and to give all respect to Margarito, it's in his nature to be that way and he's shown that since his 1st pro fight..

he's all class, sitting here complaining about them stopping it wont rewind time and let him do it over and might only just cause friction so being the no non sense ***** he is he owned up to it, I can respect that but I also see whats what. a quitter wouldn't allow himself to be battered that way and stay there, a quitter quits the fight himself, says himself out of his own mouth that he no longer wants to continue at THAT EXACT moment a la De La Hoya-Pacquiao or Tszyu-Hatton, no towels or trainers on apron's just the fighter saying no.. it's just my opinion and I respect yours but it's evident, there were many reports that Cotto wasn't fending off too well from the loss and that interview came after a period of silence from Cotto, he was learning to accept the defeat but in his heart on that night in that moment I seriously doubt he gave up his will to fight which is what quitters do..

Lmao @ Crillz shutting this thread down..

They wanted to see Cotto throw a ***** tantrum like Malignaggi did after they stopped the Hatton-Malignaggi fight to show that he didn't "quit"..it's called respect and trust..you guys should learn about it!..lol
