    "Quitter" and Coward"

    From a page I follow on Facebook. I decided to post this on here because I see a lot of this on here which is absurd especially when it comes from someone who has never laced gloves.

    (Quitters): In Boxing you have classic phrase "He Quit". Who are you as a fan to call a fighter a quitter. We don't know how hard the opponent is punching or how a fighter physically is feeling coming into the fight. Recently Fighter like Victor Ortiz, Angulo, Delvin Rodriguez, Cintron and others have been pegged with this label. We have no idea the pain these guys are in and we should not hold it against these fighters because this is how they make their living. Boxing is a brutal sport and no man in this sport is a coward.

    Boxing is a gladiator sport. Fighters are looked upon as the ultimate men of men. To quit in the ring makes you one of us. Its not fair, but that's the code in boxing. As a fan you should've been known this.

        Arthur Abraham, Ricky Burns, Lucas Matthysse, Arturo Gatti and many others didn't quit after having their faces broken in half, you know why? because they're not quitters! They have a lot more heart than Victor Ortiz, Angulo, Delvin Rodriguez, and Kermit Cintron.

          Margarito is a cheater bro. Cotto got a pass for quiting once Tony got caught in his very next fight and was ****d by Mosley.

            Anyone who steps inside a ring and puts their life on the line in a sport as rough as boxing deserves no disrespect especially after a hard performance, a fan should salute the combatant not be little.

              It is not just for a paycheck it is also to entertain an audience.

                  I wouldn't call Delvin a 'quitter' per se, but he was clearly outhustled by a smaller guy possessing a much stronger will. To put things further in perspective, If boxing was comics Miguel Cotto would be like a green lantern.

                    Yea Delvin did not want the fight to stop, that was more the ref tripping over him and then deciding to wave it off lol.
