    It's ******ed to say guys like Freitas and Tszyu have no heart because they quit their respective fights. But technically quitting in a combat sport is about as low as you can get.

    It would be like Tiger Woods saying "Oh **** this, I'm leaving on the 17th hole in the Masters. See you later".

    It's a bit ridiculous and unheard of that's why people raise so much controversy.
    Well dont go to extreme examples then, stick with sensible ones. I'll never criticise a boxer for deciding that they've 'had enough' in a fight and quitting if they dont feel that they can continue.

    I dont think that quitting a combat sport is as low as you can get. I think that dying or becoming brain damaged or risking serious and dangerous injury if you dont think that you can win/survive in a fight is ridiculously ******. No inflated sense of pride would stop me quitting if I felt that it was the best thing to do.

    If Tiger Woods decided to quit on the 17th hole of the Masters, I couldnt give a ****. The only people who have a fair call to care are him and the people who bet on him. He has no obligation to win you money, so its tough ****.

        I was reading an article about Paul Ingle the other day. His life was destroyed because he carried on when he should have called it a day. Gerald Mclellan is another example. Lito Sisnorio died just last week. How do we know that when a fighter quits, he actually isnt just saving himself from this fate. A fighter knows himself. Most of these fighters will have taken punishment in the past. Not many of us really know what it's like to take repeated, hard shots to the head from a top world class fighter. These guys do. These guys know when things are wrong. Take Freitas against Coralles. He should have just stayed down, but he got up and realised he could take no more. He shouldnt be criticised for that - he kept getting up, you can't question his heart.

          I will agree with the people who are chiding Naz for being a quitter.

          I think that quitting in the ring is nowhere near as bad as being full of talk all your career and then running away the first time you suffer defeat. Especially after you're all talk about a comeback beforehand. ESPECIALLY when you have the potential Naz had.

              Definitely. He should have taken the Tapia fight. It would have been a fight he could win and one that would have put him back on the map. Look at what Barrera achieved after two much more convincing losses to Junior Jones. Styles make fights, and Barrera was all wrong for Nas. But it shattered his confidence. He let his fans down. Not during the fight, but by quitting afterwards.

                He let himself down by ****ing himself up LONG before the Barerra fight. He stopped training properly, stopped fighting properly, started believing the hype he created about himself. ******ity.

                To put things straight, I'm not saying that I dont respect fighters more who show tremendous heart in the ring. I'm not criticising those who feel that they have to quit though. The ones that I hate most are the guys who constantly brag about how good they are and then let themselves down with their performances. Audley Harrison is a good example.

                  that really ends the discussion about quitting.

                  Now comes the part where people say he's "******" because he'll get "Brain damaged". hahhahahahahahha. **** off.

                  He's a real fighter, that's what he does. He doesn't quit in a fight.

                    "So that means Corrales is a real fighter and the other guys mentioned aren't?"




                    Never stated that. But he's 10x more real than they will ever be.

                      If you quit in a fight, you're not a real fighter?
