Any Boxer who ever quit because....

that fighter should go to the body if he is worried about inflicting brain damage on his opponent

I've only seen that twice one was the Eubanks jr vs Blackwell fight. The other was the Augustus vs Oliveria fight. In the Augustus fight he saw Oliveria grab at his neck in pain and body shot him the rest of the fight.

Boxer Begs Referee to "Stop the ****ing Fight!"

floyd did this all the time when he refused to fight guys he was really saving their lives because he didnt want to beat them to death. you may call it ducking but he calls it saving

He was giving his opponent too severe a beaten. Boxing is a savage sport where sometimes the guy on the other side of the ring will not walk out the same way he walked in

But was there ever a time a fighter decided to call it a night because the ref or the corner of his opponent wouldn't stop the fight to save the fighters life.

Bonus Question: How would you as a fan feel about something like this?

I dont think anybody does this, nor should they. Its their job to inflict punishment on their opponent. It's nothing personal, just a job. That's why they shake hands, later. Its the ref's job to stop It if needed, not the FIGHTERS.

I can see how knowing the opponents kids are in the crowd would deter you from finishing off a fighter in a fight your winning by a landslide.

But what if the judges do something ******? If a KO is there, ya gotta get it. Its not always there, but if its there, its there.

It's in the hands of the fighter at the moment I suppose. But you do take a major risk if you decide your opponent is done for them.

And like you said, you might find yourself getting robbed by the judges.

Interesting concept, to think Floyd was just looking out for one of his fellow boxers when decided not to fight Margarito.

Bellew was talking to Shane McGuigan as he had Haye against the ropes for half a round telling him to throw the towel in, the next round thats what he did. This is maybe different due to Hayes visible injury during the fight though
