Rafa is a warrior but he did quit. Even if you consider the injury legit (which I do) he still quit. Boxers fight with injuries a lot of times. Its like asking if a cut above the eye, broken hand, broken jaw, broken nose......etc
Did Marquez Quit?

Couldn't have said it better myself.I believe it was hurt, but he also knew he was in for a beat down and had pretty much accepted defeat. To me, that's quitting. And after the fight, I see him pounding gloves with Lopez and people and raising his hand like he's a champion. Ehh, I don't buy it. Hurt yes. Hurt bad enough to call it off? No.
I've always said the Marquez Bros were crybabies. Warriors in the ring, yes, but the biggest crybabies in boxing when things don't go their way. He spent the entire fight complaining about rabbit punches that weren't even happening or that he created by ducking down.
Right after the fight. I thought he had a legit excuse. But, after giving it some thought. It was a quit job. I mean, Cotto suffered facial fractures from Cheato and took a knee. And last night, Rafa suffered a shoulder injury. The only difference is, is that both fighters were both injured in different areas of the body and decided to quit due to a lose-lose situation.Comment

I read in the paper that Rafa loved that stool so much... He took it home with him and refused to get off of it for 15 hours.

No MaS!!!!
Mexicans quit like everybody else.
Morales looked up from his ass at Pacquaio and said "No thanks"
DLH Looked up from his stool at Pacquiao and said "Why so mean?"
Chavez snuck out of a fight against Randall then played Macho once he was saved by the doctor.
Vasquez quit against Marquez cuz his nose hurt a bit....
Vicky Ortease Quit against Maidana cuz he was punching a bit too hard
The No MAS tradition was in fact begun by Duran who is half Mexican or half quitter.

Why would anyone question his injury...it is reported that he has a fracture....idiots.
When has Rafael ever not given his all in a fight???...this guy gave us 4 of the most modern day classics with Israel Vasquez (win and lose) and these jackasses want to take notes on one performance where he had a legit injury....gtfoh!
It speaks volumes that a one handed fighter that night was able to put Lopez on ***** street with his less dominant hand and an injury to boot! This same guy that a lot of people said was a spent fighter.Comment
