You win by any means you can,winning is winning and there is no substitute.

I'd rather lose and keep my pride and dignity then win like a *****.. I think you get more respect that way and you don't have that feeling of being a punk inside you.

Explain how you would "win like a *****"?

I'd rather lose like a man.

Not to speak for Devious, but if you literally are avoiding an actual fight, are runing around the ring and you do JUST enough to win, it could be considered quite....... 'safe'. Let's put it that way. And by run, I don't mean Mayweather, or Whitaker. That's movement, that's footwork, that's shoulder rolling. Nothing wrong with that. Think of it this way, if you watched that Zeneloff/Hartley fight, and that douche bag kid who was running around, LITERALLY running, had won the fight somehow. He'd be winning like a *****.

I still say you win and move on to the next fight, but if you make that your career your gonna have a tough road to hoe.

If you run like you say, you're not gonna win a fight. I watched Zelenoff-Hartley, but I don't get what you're saying. Both fighters in the Zelenoff-H fight were kinda brawling it out with no technique, no real runners there.

Wow... Some people are ridiculously ******.

Let me map out exactly what happens in the two choices:

1. Winning like a coward - You run your ass off, protecting a lead that you got by landing punches with no power. You break the record for limiting your opponent to the least number of connects in history. You get a W on your record and your face and body hurt less than anyone's face or body has hurt after any professional prizefight... ever.

2. Losing like a man - You get your ****ing ass kicked, possibly knocked unconscious by a head shot that is going to give you a headache for the next few days at least, or a body shot that is going to have you pissing red for a while. On top of having your body totally destroyed in the process, you don't even get a ****ing win for your troubles. So you get your ass kicked and you get moved down in the rankings of boxing.

Anyone who picks losing like a man is an idiot. Sorry, but it's true. If you are faced with those two, and those two options only, you HAVE to pick the one that involves winning, and not getting hurt.

I dont even need to make an Argument...With Post like this...

I agree with the 2nd poster. If I knew it'd be the biggest fight of my career I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory. I'd rather be remembered as a Gattii than a Maglignaggi

couldnt agree more...i would rather lose like a man...going down swinging...then win like a *****...and in my eyes to a perfect example of winning like a *****...(even though he doesnt get a W for it) the way Ricky Hatton dodged Witter until he lost...Hatton won cause now he doesnt have to fight him...even though he never would have...cause hatton as much as i do like him as a fighter...is a *****!!
