No matter how you want to put it, Tyson quit on his stool, with no injuries, in a fight he could have easily won. Without a doubt this was one of the most cowardly displays from a former heavyweight champion in boxing history.I didn't see the fight, I just read some news accounts about it online. Could Mike Tyson "have easily won"? I got the impression that he was getting punched around pretty good and was fouling McBride a lot (head butts, low punches, and grabbing the guy's arm). If you can easily win a match, then you don't resort to those kind of tactics.

I agree. I'm not willing to call any boxer cowardly for deciding he's gotten pounded enough for one day--maybe even for his whole career. Any of you guys who have boxed know it takes a decent amount of courage to climb into the ring. I just hope Iron Mike will really retire before he gets himself hurt.
