From a page I follow on Facebook. I decided to post this on here because I see a lot of this on here which is absurd especially when it comes from someone who has never laced gloves.

(Quitters): In Boxing you have classic phrase "He Quit". Who are you as a fan to call a fighter a quitter. We don't know how hard the opponent is punching or how a fighter physically is feeling coming into the fight. Recently Fighter like Victor Ortiz, Angulo, Delvin Rodriguez, Cintron and others have been pegged with this label. We have no idea the pain these guys are in and we should not hold it against these fighters because this is how they make their living. Boxing is a brutal sport and no man in this sport is a coward.

lmao at all the soft slobs having the audacity to call a fighter a 'quitter' brb Ortiz has no heart because he refused to continue fighting with a broken jaw. SMH.
I think their talking about when he quit against Maidana when he got cut.
I still give much respect to Ortiz he gave us many great fights. I think this is just a case of key board warriors that never had a fight in their life unless it was jumping somebody with their homies.
There's no doubt in my mind that the vast majority of the people on here that use the term "quitter" have never successfully competed in anything in their lives, much less in a combat sport. And those that throw the word "coward" around probably haven't had a fight with a strange adult male in their lives, in the ring or out.
Stop talking about maniac like that lol! just kidding maniac don't get mad.
Now I understand the term and if someone realistically decided not to continue then yes by definition they quit, but what grinds my gears is when some of you keyboard warriors label them that but also belittle the fighter for it, and I do not care if you "pay their bills" because the kind of entertainment they are providing you, the viewer, does not deserve disrespect in that form. It just does not seem legit when for instance, some out of shape lazy **** who has nowhere near the mental strength and toughness it takes to put there body through the ringer the way a fighter does, to sit there and **** on a guy who decided they could not go on to complete a bout. If you can not do better then who the f are you to talk down to and degrade? Rant over.
Angulo never had a broken orbital bone either. The whole broken orbital bone thing was just assumptions floating around here.

Look man either way the injuries were nowhere near the same thing. From what i read it was a serious contusion to his eye socket. What you fail to mention was how for 10 round Angulo took a ton of risks in that fight. He was willingly taking 1 punch to land 2 that night and had lara out on his feet several times in that fight. But oh yeah all that pain he went thru and he's gonna fake an injury come on man!! I know you are upset because your boy Lucas got turned into an ordinary fighter again but do you have to lash out in anger at Alfredo over it!!!

But I agree with Ric-Dic as a paying customer if your just holding like Carlos Molina/John Ruiz/Wladimir Klitchko you are a cancer to this sport and deserve to get boo'd robbing fans out of their hard earned money.
Umm. Angulo flat out quit. He could have finished. He was entirely capable, he just "didn't want to".

Anybody who knows me from this Boxing forum knows I despise anyone who calls a boxer a quitter or a coward. Typically it comes from knownothing boxing fans who call into work the second they get the sniffles. And all this nonsene that boxers are warrior blah blah blah shut the fuk up they are Athletes nothing more. The money you pay for your HBO subscription or the money you spend on a PPV does not entitle you to call a boxer a coward or a quitter. It entitles you to watch the fight and entertained thats it! So plase shut the fuk up with this gladiator talk thats just stupid.
A quitter is a guy who quits, what do you want people to say about such a situation. Now there can be good reasons for quitting, it shouldn't even be that big of a deal.
Coward would be a little tougher for me to call a boxer considering their line of work, but still there are fights where dudes fight scared. I think the word gets overused specifically about fights that didn't happen (which usually don't happen for much more obviously apparent reasons than fear) but there are times it can get used reasonably.
I don't go out of my way to call professional fighters "cowards". Going out and facing somebody that is trying to physically inflict as much pain and damage as possible, in front of a large group of people takes some pretty big balls, I reckon.
If you quit, then you quit. The circumstances involving a boxer quitting, and some guy quitting his job because he didn't get a prime parking spot are a little different, though.
Any legit fighter that laces em up and gets in there deserve our praise. Boxing is as close to death an experience as any sport a professional athlete will ever engage in.
You gotta figure plenty of those guys aren't very bright to begin with, desperately put their life on the line to earn peanuts.. the true "cowards" will literally do whatever it takes to even the playing field. Load their gloves, get juiced, sucker punch you or even bite your ear off when your guard is down. Did I mention loading their gloves? Realizing the dangers of a sport that's left it's participants handicapped or worse and marching ahead anyways is truly commendable. Respect.

Green K on it's way
Boxing is a gladiator sport. Fighters are looked upon as the ultimate men of men. To quit in the ring makes you one of us. Its not fair, but that's the code in boxing. As a fan you should've been known this.
your first great post. I'll K you up.
lmao at all the soft slobs having the audacity to call a fighter a 'quitter' brb Ortiz has no heart because he refused to continue fighting with a broken jaw. SMH.
Gee, man, a post from you that makes sense. I guess you are capable of some thinking after all when you are not busy obsessing with Khan or giving your objective take on a fight you didn't see.
I don't look at a quitter and a coward as one in the same. I am from the school of thought that simply being a boxer means you are PROBABLY not a coward. Duran quit against Ray Leonard, yet he's exuded bravery in the ring over and over again. He is far from a coward. These guys are paid to be gladiators, but it's also their job and how they support their families. So if a fighter is in a situation where they feel there is no path to victory, I am not in their body so I won't judge them because again, they've proven to be far more brave than most of us by simply being willing to compete in such a brutal sport.
Fans, especially those that have never even fought calling fighters cowards is very annoying to me.
he quit against Pacquiao too.
watch the fight how he keeps looking over at his corner as he does laps around the ring. Then tell's his corner they did the right thing in stopping it
:lol1: I just saw the Angulo sig
Now I usually don't get into these things with tunnel vision soldiers, however in this instance I do find it necessary. Didn't another legendary fighter also (quit) against Pacman??
And no, Cotto didn't quit, the ref stopped the fight.
Anyone who steps inside a ring and puts their life on the line in a sport as rough as boxing deserves no disrespect especially after a hard performance, a fan should salute the combatant not be little.
You have two quitters in your sig
Irony. People that spend long hours living through their internet persona like to call quitters to those man that decided to spend their time in the ring. They quit their lives to live behind an alias, but the guys that get hit for a living are the cowards. Shtty world.
