        Just because some boxers quit, it dosn't really justify calling them bitches.

        Hmm well lets takes a look at Vklit- He called it quits once because of a shoulder injury yet he still wanted to go the distance with Lewis even though his eye was falling out of the socket practically. I think thats more of him knowing when something is serious and knowing when to keep going. That cut was horrible and it should have been stopped, but he didn't quit.

        Who really cares if Tyson quit...I mean really what did you expect..I was pulling for him yes, but its Mike Tyson we are talking about, its not uexpected.

        Another fighter who called it quits was Kostya, but jesus christ man, he was fighting on Hatton home turf, with 50,000 Hatton fans and 0 Kostya fans. Its was 2 in the morning, and Hatton was smothering him. Kostya knew he couldnt win, he was dead tired , and I doubt he wanted to be KO'ed in an embarassing fashion. Once again I have to say this was the right call on his part.

        Cotto and Mohommed was a decent fight. Did you see his eye though, it was shut, he could not see, it was a matter of time before he got KO'ed. Calling it quits was the right thing to do before getting hurt more and once again embarassed.

        Some fighters have the heart to just keep it going , thats why Arturo Gatti is such a popular fighter, the man could have his arm fall of and he would still keep going.

        Some guys just don't engage themselves in that type of a fight, and IMO I don;t think they should be looked down upon, every one has the way they do thing, and just because chico or gatti will keep going no matter what, life or limb, some guys want to keep living and keep fighting to see another day and know when they are out classed.

          Granted, but i know of three this year that quit for good.
          1. Mike Tyson
          2. Kosta Tszyu
          3. ______ navarro (Friday night fights)


          Which means they wont have a chance to show that it was a fluke no do they

            Any fighter that quits will lose respect. Just because they're not some brawling blood and guts warrior doesn't mean they should quit when they're down. I don't know why people say Tszyu quiting is ok. He had a puncher's chance going into the last round and he didn't even give it a shot. This IMO is inexcusable.

              I don't think a " Punchers Chance " is gonna help KOSTYA when he is being smothered , and he even said he had never felt so tired in his life. Hatton had Kostya's number man there is no way around it.

              He couldn't find his rhytm, no, Kostya didn't have a puchers chance from the way I see it, Hatton had the right plan, he worked Zoo too well, it was over, zoo knew it and he wasn't gonna be KO'ed. Especially not by Rcky Hatton.

              I hate the way Hatton looks, I couldn;t look at myself in the mirror if I knew a guy who looked so ugly, KO'ed me LOL....

              Kostya did the right thing, It takes more balls to call it quits then just walk into a gloves thats gonna put your lights out, because when you quit, people are gonna give you more **** about it and what boxer dosn't already know that.

              Standing and trading and being a warrior is what makes boxing such a great sport, it what we all wanna see, I personally prefer good technical matches to all out wars, but they are both entertaining in their own rights. But its also a great sport because a man an stand up and say no more, you beat me, I can;t beat you I know it, good fight man, thats it. Would you wanna see a great like Tyson get clobbered by a bum like MCbride and have to remeber that guys face saying " I KO'ed mike now I am the bddest man on the planet" personally tyson quitting in his corner saying he wont be loose to that kinda fighter was a lot better than watching him get owned by another danny willams.

                loose = lose.

                Danny Williams is a far better boxer than McBride.
