      Oscar's corner never once told him to run. He did it on his own but blamed his corner as usual. His corner told him to box and box doesn't mean run.

      I would say one of the biggest cowards would be Butler for punching Grant after being embarrassed in the ring.

        Who cares? He chose this profession.. he's a boxer, a fighter and a warrior! How do you turn your back and walk out of a ring in a middle of a round???? Even when you're hurt.. take a punch and go down like a man... have your corner stop the round.. finish the round and call it quits.. I don't know… But don't leave like ***** in a middle of a fight! That's still a TKO loss and the most coward way of going into a fight and leaving!

        This is not some corporate job that you can walk away from if you don't like it.. You have fan obligations and fans paid to see you fight and this is how you get you paycheck.

        Now because of his coward way, Golota didn’t get paid and that’s 100% right!

        Luckily for him, they reversed a decision to a ‘no contest’ for ****** “Tyson was found to have marijuana in his blood that evening” reason. Who can blame him after a fight like this.


        Yes, I think this was the most coward fight I’ve ever seen

          hmm

          Jesus christ, the second one, he layed on the canvas unconscious for a complete 10 minutes.
          That's not true, for the record. Jones was not out that long, and was told by the medical staff to lay down for observation and precaution.

            Fair enough, it takes a bit of a sadistic temperment to be a boxing fan anyway, what are the fights everybody loves? The fights where 1 or both guys get their heads beat him in to debilitating levels. Nobody apprecieates Lennox Lewis as much as they do Tyson even though Lewis is a way better boxer, Tyson inflicts more damage its seems and is meaner, and that is what people want in boxing it seems sometimes. I will say myself there is nothign I hate more than cowardly boring defensive boxing styles like certain fights exhibit on a continued basis.

            What if Golota did not quit against Tyson though, and took another punch that served to make his neck injury worse. It could have permanently ended his career if he tried to stay in and took more big punches. He quit and looked bad that time but at least in doing so he preserved himself to go on to fight another day, for Championship paydays. If he would have tried to finish the fight he might be walking around in neckbrace right now instead of challenging for the WBO title. I know some of you *******s probably watch Golota vs Tyson over and over and over on Miketyson.com or whatever just to laugh sadistically at Golota. I dont even deny that Golota quit like a prick in that fight, but he did have legit excuses, mainly he felt outclass not having his left jab in his arsenal.

              Jones could have gotten up any time he wanted to. Instead he takes a nap, and a paycheck.

              Disgracefull.
              eh, no.

              i'd have to say clifford etienne vs. mike tyson.

                  Joppy-Taylor---Joppy was running the last 4 rounds...

                  He wasn't just running, he was dancing and taunting Taylor which was very discgraceful, if ur gonna run, dont taunt..

                    AAHHHHHHH I've been waiting for this topic for a while now.....

                    VLAD KLITSCHKO vs. SANDERS

                    when Vlad turned his back on Sanders, trying to run away from the guy, I nearly vomited....I was telling a few buddies before the fight that this Klitschko kid was the real deal, and Vlad's heartless performance made me (and Vlad) look like total chumps, BY FAR the most cowardly act I've ever seen from a so-called top contender

                      Yeah, that is the fight that first poppe up in my mind when I saw this thread. I can't believe that Joppy was actually taunting Taylor. Joppy should be ashamed of himself. LMAO.
