TS calls fighters frauds. Why is that okay but acknowledging when a fighter quits is wrong? Calling someone a fraud is worse than saying they quit.Comment

In my opinion he quit. I come to that conclusion because after eating that hook he was fully conscious enough to try and avoid the 2 punches following the hook that hurt him and in less than a minute after being counted out he walked over to collazo and was all smiles while congratulating him. He didn't even attempt to rise while on his knee. Add to that the fact that he's quit before and it's hard to think otherwise.Comment

Every fighter deserves respect, especially at this level. 99% of the people on this forum would literally s.hit their pants and menstruate all over the ring if they took that punch. More importantly they dont have the balls to get in the ring and risk getting hit to begin with.
That said heart is a big part of what makes a fighter and compared to the elite fighters out there ortiz lacks it severely. Its no different than bringing up a fighters lack of handspeed or headmovement.
Bottom line you cant pretend ortiz has world class toughness because thats just not the case. But unless you achieved more than he has you still have no right to dissrespect him either. He might not be tough compared to all these guys who knocked him out but he is still tougher than some random e-warrior. At least until you posers get in the ring yourselves and prove otherwise.Last edited by #1Assassin; 01-31-2014, 08:10 AM.Comment

I'm sorry if this upsets anyone but Ortiz quit. This fight wasn't a mismatch. This fight wasn't some hot prospect (Collazo) against a journeyman (Ortiz). This fight was however two evenly matched, world class fighters and one didn't want anymore of it after he got knocked down.
Now compare Ortiz to the average man and you couldn't class him as a quitter but compare him to the likes of Arthur Abraham or Ricky Burns (two fighters that I don't really like) and Oritz is a straight up quitter (and serial headbutter).Comment
