    Trash-talk all you want, I will use logic. Become a boxer then talk. I'm not going above and beyond to justify anything. Pretty simple logic really.

    Anywho...
    you're basing your opinion on 1 fight for each guy.... Hopkins implemented the same style vs. Tito, look what happened there....Hopkins nearly got KO'd by Echols in their 1st fight, and B-Hop came back & won.....Hopkins also beat Glen Johnson for every minute of every round, not an easy task at any weight on any date

    Floyd beat a tough Carlos Hernandez with basically 1 hand, destroyed Chico and J. Chavez with relative ease, ate everything Emmanuel Burton had to offer and won by TKO...

    as for "become a boxer then talk" why are you talking? Who are you? You sure ain't a boxer if you're wasting your time talking with little-old-me....and if you are a boxer, then your opponent has already won your upcoming bout, becuase he's out running right now while you're typing

        WARRIORS are just boxers he likes, and the quiters are boxers he doesnt - translation of thread.

            you're absolutely right my friend, i hate quitters, and love warriors.....do you feel the opposite? Do you like watching guys quit? Does it make you feel better about how often you've quit in life?

            Personally I'd rather emulate & model my work-ethic around heros and idols who exhibit qualities in life that are inspiring and motivating vs. heartless and cowardly, just one man's opinion though, I'm not the source of all that's right, I'm just motivated to succeed in life and quitting won't get me there

                I was under the impression you liked Duran and Chavez, both quit during a fight, LIVE, maybe quiting wouldnt be acceptable, if people didnt make excuses, or give certain fighters a pass. Either way, both are still great fighters? No big deal?

                    yeah I have liked both guys, i still do, each quit once in a big event and it was a shame to see.... both were also isolated incidents vs. the very best opponent in the division at that time, the guys I mentioned, aside from maybe Fretias and Tszyu, have a history of quitting....

                    you make a good point about the excuse factor, I definitely have more sympathy when the guy just says that he wasn't good enough and couldn't deal with the pain and that he wasn't the best man in the ring, injuries and excuses are really what irritates me, I played 3 quarters of football in high school with a broken collarbone, & didn't make a single dime for it, which is why I rarely sympathize with million-dollar quitters.....good points my friend

                      Emanuel Steward said in a interview that quitting isnt such a big issue to Europeans...that's why so many of them quit..

                      Duran didn't quit cuz he was gettin destroyed physically, he got beat mentally, not like he was scared or anything...
