If Ortiz is a quitter so is Ray Robinson!

[fdotorres]

I never called cotto a quitter in fact I made a very similar thread defending him from all his haters. Cotto was physically unable to continue, and everyone in the arena and watching tv new it. I just hate it when idiot boxing fans who sit at home getting fat on their couches have the gall to call a boxer a quitter. The simple act of getting in a boxing ring and risking your life should excuse you from that. But of coarse Boxing fans actually think that boxers should die or end up vegtables all in the name of entertainment. Thats exactly why i never talk boxing with anyone outside of these forums because boxing fans are just plain ******.

i've discussed with you before for calling cotto a quitter

if i go to a gym, train, get a license, and plan my life on boxing, i'll be damn sure to keep in mind that i'll get hit

it isn't anybody's fault that he quit. he said so himself. he admitted that he quit and he took all the fault. why don't you see that?

Cotto probably fought a fighter who had plaster in their wrappings aswell, why would Margarito only choose to cheat against a 37 yr old Cotto already beat but not Cotto... Especially since Mosley was coming off a bad win over Mayorga where it was a tough fight for Mosley even though he KO'd Mayorga in the final round.

He said "I'm not going out on my back, I'm going to stop while I'm ahead!!" That means he didn't want to fight or take anymore punishment!! There's no other meaning you can take from that!!

Hmm looks like he did quit but what I'm trying to rationalize now is why he is wrong for quitting?

Why should victor ortiz sacrifice his health and possiably his life for a ***ing sport and bunch of ungreatful sports fans???

If you bumbeling ******s really think that Ortiz quit then Ray Robinson quit against Joey Maxim and Joe frasier quit against ali, and i could go on and on and on about this.

You're obviously ******ed, no need to clown you on this post as you've already clowned yourself with this unbelievably ****** post.

There is no comparison between Ortiz-Maidana and Frazier-Ali III/Maxim-Robinson.

I'm not one to call boxers "quitters" but Ortiz had his man down three times and was one good punch away from a victory. He decided not to continue.

I just saw the post fight interview right now and yes i do see now that he did call the fight off on his own. But I don't think he was wrong or a coward for doing so. It's called self preservation and i think at one point of another boxers have to protect themselves because idiot fans won't.

Because I'm more concerned about a fighter not getting hurt over the Value of me entertainment dollar? Oh yes I'm such a clown!

maybe $$$?

maybe legacy?

maybe recognition?

maybe greatness?

he knew he was entering the ring to risk his health and his life. if he didn't have that in mind, then he should just quit boxing

I'm not saying he was wrong or right for quiting but I'm just stating he did quit!

I think though as he chose to be a boxer he should've known that at some point he would come up against a situation where he needs to look deep down and find that extra something to fight back when you find yourself in the ****!!

It happens! George Forman pounded on Ali like what seemed forever and couldnt put him away and lost his championship. Then he came back in his 40's and won the Championship back. **** happens!
