I recently read an interesting article in a boxing magazine, and they explored the subject of fighters who have quit. Let's examine some fighters who have quit:
Acelino Freitas, who quit against Corrales.
Sonny Liston, who quit against Ali.
Willy Pep, who quit against Sandy Saddler.
Genaro Hernandez, who quit against De La Hoya.
Roberto Duran, who quit against Leonard.
Julio Cesar Chavez, who quit against De La Hoya.
Against Corrales, Freitas quit after tiring himself out by running around like an idiot and getting knocked down 3 times. I think it was bad to quit like that. Nothing seemed wrong there. I excuse Pep and Hernandez, as they just couldn't go on with their injuries. But Duran, Chavez, and Liston just couldn't be excused. Chavez' infraction will be overlooked because it was late in his career and was addicted to coke. What do you think?
