"There is nothing cool about taking punishment"

[King411]

I think it's a smart technique. If i could hit someone without getting hit in return, i would do it. Taking punishment makes you look like a warrior, but is it a smart thing to do? You're only risking your own health, at the end of the day your health is more important than entertaining the fans. When your career is over, everyone will say how great you were, but their words won't cure the damages on your body.

So would I.

But thank god the mentality of many world-class fighters doesn't allow for that. Otherwise we wouldn't see many good fights.
