    Morales? Quitter? Arguello? No Heart? Kostya? Coward?

    I just seen a few people insult Morales and call him a quitter on another thread.

    Was what he really did that bad? He gave it all he got , he didn't have anything else , he just got knocked down for the 2nd time......what was the point of getting up again?

    I've also seen Arguello do the same in the Pryor fight.

    I read someone post so many bad things about Kostya too and how he ended his career on the stool.

    They're not the only ones...... there have been plenty of greats who have "QUIT". I'm sure each of us can name a few more.

    Me personally? I don't hold anything against them for this. If you're beat , if you have nothing left , what's the point of getting beat up some more?

    Thoughts? Opinions? Discuss.

    Yes. It's wrong to "QUIT" no matter the situation. No matter what you have to continuing fighting.

    No. As long as they tried their best , it's okay to know when you are beat and have nothing left.

      Aaron Pryor recently criticized Kostya for quitting on his stool.

      “I liked him as a fighter,” Pryor said. “I really did, I thought he was a good fighter until I saw him quit on his stool against Ricky Hatton.”

      “I would not do what he did in that fight. I could have been down against Alexis Arguello but I would have died in there before I quit. Seeing Tszyu quit against Hatton…that night, he did not do his best. I’d have rather have seen him get knocked out than quitting on the stool,” Pryor said.

      Tszyu said he gave up against Hatton out of consideration for his family but Pryor can’t accept such an excuse.



      “My wife filed for a divorce when I was training to fight Arguello. I got the legal papers in my training camp.But I kept training because I had to go beat the great Arguello, which I did, and then I could deal with that.”



      Pryor also said he has nothing but affection for his two bout rival, Arguello.



      “Alexis is a classy gentleman and we get along great,” Pryor said. “Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns do not talk. Joe Frazier does not talk to Muhammad Ali. But me and Alexis, we are good friends. Alexis told me, after the first bout in Miami, I was the better man that night. I like Alexis and I’ve learned a lot from him.”

          IMO its better to try valiantly but not get yourself to a point where you are getting badly injured and your career is at stake.
          None of the fighters mentioned by Tua are quitters or cowards etc.

                good article.

                no offense to mr. pryor but everyone is different.

                it's not like kostya busted a rahman or camacho jr.
