  • Did Roberto Duran face the same backlash as Victor Ortiz did for quitting mid fight?

    Let me first start off by apologizing for bringing up Duran with Ortiz, I know I can face a perm ban for it. But I wasn't old enough to live through The Duran, Hagler, Hearns, &Leonard timeframe. I've seen the fights but didn't live through the (past) reactions. So someone with knowledge of the time (era) did Duran get dissed like current fighters do/have for quitting? If so, what changed things? How did u feel fan or not at the time?

    Well let's see, he's only had to hear about his quitting for 35 years now.

      Ortiz is wierd one

      He quit against Maidana
      It looked like he might have quit against Floyd & Collazo

      He has been on other tough fights but didn't quit...

      What is his criteria for quitting? his mental state is dodgy as fk

        Lol, I knew someone would say that but at the same time he's made out to be some mythical boxing God that would wipe out this generation. I guarantee u ask anyone on NSB, Duran would beat, Floyd, Pac, Thurman, Maidana etc with 1 arm behind his back...

          Like a 100000x worse actually. Duran couldn't go back home for a while.

                    Duran was all balls. That's why it made no sense and people still argue about it to this day. Ortiz has done it more than once.
