Vitali Klitschko was once seen a "QUITTER" like Dubois was! 3 years later he acquired a Reputation as one of the Toughest in Boxing! Will Dubois do the same?

Technisch gesehen war er kein „Quitter“. Doch viele Fans und Medien sahen es anders, weil er einen Kampf aufgab, den er klar gewann. Nach ärztlichem Rat auszusteigen war wahrscheinlich dolly casino die kluge Entscheidung — besonders für seine Gesundheit und Karriere. Aber im Boxen urteilen viele nur nach dem Moment. Sie sahen einen Boxer, der auf dem Hocker sitzen blieb. Und die Kritik war entsprechend hart.

Always figured with Vitali having a doctorate in sports medicine, he fully understood the extent of his injury and didn't want to make things worse.

well i read that doc told him that there was a chance he could end his career if he continued, if thats the case he made the right call

So he wasn't a quitter, as I said. Once, his shoulder was out. The second time, it was the doctor who stopped for a valid reason. He himself wasn't technically a "quitter", but he was labeled mostly a quitter by the boxing fans and media because of aborting out of the fight that he was winning. They probably thought he could have just sucked it up for the remaining rounds. I'm not sure if you would call one a quitter or not if they agreed to bow out of the match after being given sound Dr. advice. It was smart of him to do, though I can see how folks might still consider him a quitter for doing that. This is boxing after all and the critics are harsh. They don't care if he was trying to save his future career, they described what they saw in that moment and it was him and his team retiring him on the stool in a fight he was easily winning, hence quitting the match.

So he wasn't a quitter, as I said. Once, his shoulder was out. The second time, it was the doctor who stopped for a valid reason. Quitter is someone like Victor Ortiz. With the Mayweather headbutt in 2011 and then later on his career, he quit against Berto, I think? A man of Mexican heritage was in the crowd and as Ortiz was walking back into his locker room, the man threw rubbish at him.

He was actually at that time. People didn't realize how severe his shoulder injury was and pissed that he quit. He was literally winning every round and only had to go I think 2 or 3 more rounds to win the fight. In retrospect, you have to really understand how bad the injury was when he and his whole team knew they were up, but if he continued, it could have jeopardized his entire career. They were willing to take the "L", but the backlash was swift. Hence why he went to the darkest place to not quit against Lennox when his eye brow was hanging off his face. He refused to allow himself to be called a quitter again when this time, he had no shoulder injury and wanted to prove that as brutal of a cut that it was, he was not going to quit again. That said, aside from that slight blip moment in his career, he was quite a dominant heavyweight. Also fun to watch because he was very aggressive and hit hard. It's too bad he didn't have better competition during his era, but what was there, he was demolishing and in rather exciting fashion. His fight vs Corrie Sanders was awesome and even Danny Williams, despite it mostly being one sided. So he wasn't a quitter, as I said. Once, his shoulder was out. The second time, it was the doctor who stopped for a valid reason.

- - Dubois is strong as an ox and about as smart. He's a Warren fighter, so likely he exits boxing as another dumb pug with limited finances. I think that's one of his underestimated trait. Dude might look like a brawn meathead no-brainer, but if you watch his last fight with Wardley, he was thinking and analyzing which made him 1-2 steps ahead.

I don't think Vitali was called "a quitter". He can be criticised for other things. Those who called Dubois so were just casuals, to be polite... I don't see any reason to bash Dubois, he seems a nice character and is definitely elite level. He was actually at that time.

People can critique him all they want because of his previous bouts with Joyce and Usyk, but the fact is UK fans will still pay to watch him fight says something. Dubois is actually a decent fighter - if you look at his resume he has an impressive one. Usyk is just on another fucking level.
