Worst quitters in boxing.

[brently1979]

I won't say DLH definitely quit but looking at other body shot stoppages it does seem strange.

Worst single quit job= Roberto Duran

He couldn't breath.

No way Oscar took a dive like a lot ****** people think. He has far too much pride and already far too much money before that fight.

what morales was done agasint pacman
the **** is wrong with you
jsut cuz he could have gotten up
for what to ge tknocked back down again

muh ****a you aint in the ring he is and

get up

Jess Willard against Jack Dempsey. What a little girl. You're twice the other guys size you Mary!

oh waitaminute...

What was that about going out on your shield?

[Franko]

Thats bul****.
Benn's legacy is fine. No one evr mentions the fact that he quit against Collins in their rematch (in the 1st fight he ****ed up his ankle and couldnt continue), because his legacy is built on being the wars he had with various opponents.

He's hardly a quitter. Look at his greatest fights. He was hurt and fought back in all of them.
No one in their right mind blames him for quitting against Collins after what happened to McClellan and Watson.



I hope ur joking.

I hate the word 'Quitter' in boxing. Fighters deserve immense praise for getting into the ring in the first place. With regards to Benn, he was an unbelievably brave fighter, and the fact was emphasised in his war with McClellan. He didn't have enough left against Collins and that's that.

Has anyone watched Tyson vs Seldon?

Man, I'm still trying to get my money back from that fight.

The pre-fight build-up was better than the fight. They talked about
how athletic Bruce was. How high he could jump. Bruce said he had
the style to beat Tyson, blah, blah...

How could you not get up from a light graze to the head?

Did Tyson hit a nerve or something?

Did Bruce need a little nap before continuing?

I'm still buggin' out from that one.

I forgot about that one!
Quite a few of Tysons post prison opponents ****ted themselves, and went down without really being hurt.
But Seldon came into the ring with a picture of his dead mother, then went down as quickly as he possibly could.
WORST ACTING JOB EVER!

Like its been said before in this thread when somebody climbs into the ring, they are no longer a quitter. Its guys like Naz who had the money so just left the sport and Scott Harrison who couldnt concerntrate on boxing. Guys like Tyson are a sad story cos Tyson wanted to quit long before those fights but there was the money problems he had and the promoters talking in his ears and all the boxing fans 'n critics telling him he was a better champ than Lewis and could still beat him.

I have no sympathy for Tyson. He was his own worst enemy. He had millions, and spent it all on ****** **** like pet tigers!

There comes a point where he has to take responsibility, and since splitting with Don King, and realizing most peole around him are just hangers on and leeches, he has made millions......and pissed it all away.

people also forget that getting hit 20 times , without getting KO'd hurts too !!!! ****ers . leave mike alone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[squealpiggy]

he still beat ray leonard once. Thats more than most can say.

Oh no doubt, the man is a legend, and he went on from the Leonard debacle to have great showings against Pipino Cuevas, Davey Moore, Marvin Hagler, and Iran Barkley.

Awww, poor little tyson took a few shots....wtf has that got to do with anything?
Its boxing, thats what happens!
He has bitten people, played the race card, blamed everyone around him, squandered millions and totally disrecpected the sport that gave him everything he has.
I think he deserves a little criticism, some credit and no ****ing sympathy.

He's a simple-minded guy (thats not to say that he's ******) who was equipped with fighting skills but no social skills. A lot of the money he squandered was on other people. Mike was famous for treating friends or just anyone he met exceptionally well. If someone said that they liked his car, he bought them one. He is childlike in his mentality, that should've been protected and nourished. Not manipulated.

True. But he still deserves no sympathy IMO. I just cant stand people talking about him as if he's a innocent 6 year old.

People should show him respect as an adult who made certain choices. Some of which can be fairly criticised.
