That's not to say persevering through a beating is a sign of mental weakness. It is to say that it is entirely dependant on the circumstances of the fight and position of the fighter.
As far as I'm concerned, mental weakness is stepping into the ring with loaded wraps against an aged underdog. It shows a lack of confidence which, in the case of Margarito, was well placed in light of the pasting Mosley gave him.
Boxers are treated like slabs of meat. In any other sport, an athlete gets injured and people would clap them off of the field. In boxing, someone could have a broken jaw, nose and hand, whilst hobbling around with a concussion, and some schmuck would see fit to call him a quitter.

Listing Cotto because of 1 fight is a JOKE

This might ring a bell, I continuously brought up the fact that Ortiz was conscious enough to evade the proceeding next two punches from Collazo.

Victor Ortiz would be at the top of my list. He did go against grain for awhile in the Josesito Lopez fight. Idk if I can fault him too much for eventually quitting after not quitting for so long after the damage occurred, but him not being able to follow thru on it does still steer him towards being mentally weak in the end even with that fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. who couldnt hadle the welterweight pressure back in 2007 so he decided to retire. Also could not handle a woman so he decides to beat her up.

That guy on FNF earlier this year who was playing up a low blow - he fell to the canvas and started rolling around for what seemed like an eternity. The ref, the crowd everyone looking clueless while he laid there. that was some funny ****, I think it made Sportscenter Not-Top 10

imo
Miguel Cotto who folded under Margaritos pressure....
Okay since I mentioned him I will mention other guys with a certain fighter in mention just to be fair/unbiased or w/e you wanna call it.
Deontay Wilder - Ducking - Alexander Povetkin
Gennady Golovkin - Ducking - Andre Ward (to a small degree)
Amir Khan - Ducking - Kell Brook (Could have fought him over Algieri no doubting that but obviously he was under the impression he was next on Floydettes list I however believe Khan will fight him in 2016)
Adonis Stevenson - Ducking - Kovalev
Some of those fights make more sense than others, the fight with Khan and Brook is one as a Khan fan I can't defend it really I'd love to see it being the fight made for late 2015 but I think Khan is still set in his way with trying to get Floyd that and the fact he likely doesn't give a **** what boxing fans want because so many of them are utterly disrespectful to him no matter what he does.
