It's a different context though. Not many are going to call a boxer a pu$$y on the street, but in the realm of boxing, a fighting sport where bravery and courage should be valued, when fighters duck other fighters for years (like Floyd ducking Khan for example) it's fine to call them a pu$$y. You don't mean they are actually a real-life pu$$y, you just means they are a pu$$y within the context of boxing.
There's nothing wrong with calling a fighter out on a clear avoidance of another fighter.
I'm sure Spinks was not looking forward to fighting Tyson, and would rather have avoided it. No objective fight fan would call him a coward for that--just intimidated by a particular fighter.
It's not crazy to think that there aren't a few middleweights out there who aren't a little gun shy at the thought of throwing with GGG; doesn't make them cowards. But they should be called out for it by analysts.
Honestly if your were a warrior during the medieval time and just decided you didn't want to go to war with a certain army wouldn't you be considered a coward.
If you choose not to fighting certain fighters because you're scared you might get hurt, than by definition you're a coward.

Sorry but Rosado is wrong on this one.
Yes, because prize fighters and medieval warriors are analogous.

If you choose to be a knight you couldn't just pick and choose when you fought. Same thing for being a boxer. I mean being a coward isn't the worst thing in life. If you want to bath in the fame and glory of being a boxer than you can't get made when the fans calls you out on your bull****.
If your in this sport just to make money to feed your family and what not that's fine. And of course I'm talking about the everyday men who work full time jobs and only do it for spare change.
But when you're a top rated fighter and choose to go after champioships. and rankings you fight the best, anything else is an example of cowardice.
And of course there's standards, like you can't be considered a coward because you choose not to fight someone in another division.
