    According to your logic no one who is a boxer need be considered a coward. Yes each of these guys fought, yet some of them did for various reason back out of fights or find escape hatches. Are you implying that Rid**** Bowe did not throw his belt into the trash can in order to avoid Lennox Lewis? I never claimed to be a literary juggernaut but I do know how to spell check fields which takes less time than your initial post did (A one liner). Anyone who has any type of sense can do that, you only typed six words and still couldn't get it right. If typing a sentence with six words without error makes me a scholar and a literary juggernaut then I guess 80 percent of the people who post on the site are literary juggernauts (except for you of course). You were so fast to jump in and attack yet you had no counter-argument. If you truly want to discuss boxing with me I am more than happy to engage. Had you simply stated that you disagreed then things would have gone differently. I would have explained exactly why I typed what I did and I do have valid reasons. This entire situation could have been avoided had you approached it that way. I can devote tons of my intellect to study reasoning and rationality yet on the same token you should spend an equal amount of time studying the art of debate. When you debate an argument you don't resort to personalized attacks or go in with guns-a-blazing. If you felt that my post was inappropriate or out of line you should have said that, or you could have attempted to actually defend those fighters if you feel so strongly. To add to that, I never used foul language or said that any fighter was a coward without reason. If fighter is afraid to fight another fighter, that does indeed make him a coward. I never said any of them did not achieve great things. Many cowards have achieved great things in life. Perhaps not only can you not do something as a simple as spell check a field but you also cannot read.

    let us take a look at the definition of the word coward so that you can truly understand it.

    noun
    1. coward - a person who lacks courage in facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain, etc.; a timid or easily intimidated person.

    1. If a fighter backs out of a fight or takes an easier fight because he fears losing, or he makes excuses, then according to the definition of coward, that is what he or she is.
    are you implying bowe was a coward?

    the man went life or death with evander holyfield for 3 fights, fights that took away his prime, the man was a worrior, dont belive? watch the holy fights.

    get educated.

      I think there is much more to it than that considering said fighter has been facing down all those things for years now.

        The definition of the word cannot be used accurately to describe any fighter in general. Micheal Spinks looked not only timid, but terrified going into the ring to fight Tyson. Does anybody think he's a coward?

                Posting on the internet is something I do, it doesnt define me as a person. Boxers CAN be cowards, these men are not gods. Some boxers are so physically gifted its ridiculous, and beating up people less talented than you doesnt require courage.

                    at the same time most of these fighters who are labeled as cowards are fighting against dudes that would knock me and u out in less than 10 seconds

                      Planned to use plaster against a past his prime Mosley
                      Ducked Winky for a record pay day 1.5 million
                      Ducked Williams rematch for past it Mosley
                      why do you watch boxing, seriously. Who the **** do you like? You hate on everybody. For me tho, Mayweather is the biggest coward in the sport.
