    im not sure what a clavical is but pernell whitaker broke his during the fight in which he retired. This is getting rediculous. You guys are taking some of the best known names in the sport, not to mention some of the most talented and toughest fighters, and basically calling them all bitches for retiring during a fight.

    Hell, most of you would quit as soon as you got hit in the nose and your little eyes started to water up. Or if you got busted in the ribs and swore that one was sticking through one of your lungs. Man, fighters deal with pain like no other. I guess if you havent spent time in the ring, and im talking fighting not sparring, than there is no way that you can comprehend what levels of tolerance to pain that these fighters deal with.

    In football, a guy gets a concusion and hes out of the game and maybe the next couple. In boxing they fight on. It is disgracefull to me that a sight is put up to talk boxing and there are those that just want to beat on the fighters about a bad night. You know what, your not in there taking the punishment so you have no idea whats going on in there. You just know that fighters are tough and should never quit. They are human like the rest of us, so give them a break...Rockin'

        He suffered a minor injury compared to ones sustained by:

        Ward
        etc.

        Hopkins dislocated shoulder IMO is a more serious than a "rotator cuff" injury.

        not to mention, Hopkins uses his shoulder to block punches....and continued to do so against echols.

        Ali's jaw was broken, he continued to fight.

        These guys are real fighters. Doing what they get paid for.
        A torn rotator cuff is more serious than all the injuries listed above?

        Have you ever sustained an injury?

        I didn't think so.
