    1......................10
    unreasonable reasonable


    Duran quitting was resonable. he was at the tale end of his career and he just didnt have the heart for it anymore. He did quit really suddenly though, so i dont know.
    8/10

    Kostya tszyu quitting was a bit unreasonable. He could have won the fight if he won that 12th round. He looked a bit worn down though, so chances are he would have quit in that 12 round anyway. I think it was pretty unreasonable
    4/10

    Sugar Ray Robinson quittin was a tradgedy. lol. that was the fight with the heat and everything right? VERY reasonable for him to quit. He prolly lost like 30 pounds of sweat during that fight. i think a ref was sent to the hospital during that fight...
    10/10

    The freitas quit was also a bit sudden. I was shocked for sure. He'd ahve been KOed if he got back up, but at least he had a shot at KOing carrales. He seemed to have his wits about him and definetly had the energy to go on it seemed. I thought is was pretty unreasonable to dissapoint ur fans like that.
    1/10

    Sonny liston just gave up. he knew he couldnt beat the guy, no point in injuring himself. Unreasonalbe, but understandable.
    7/10

      Also, rate the levlel from 1-10, 1 being the worse type of "Quitting", 10 being understandable, meaning, even though he could of been pushed out,their was nothing left

      Duran, "Quit" against Ray Leonard

      Kostya Tszyu, "Quitting" against Ricky Hatton

      Ray Robinson, "Quitting" against Joey Maxim

      Acelino Frietas, "Quitting" against Corrales

      BOTH....if you quit then you gave up, if you took a dive then you quit & gave up..damnit, if you are going to go to war then its life or death..there is no quitting in sports..punks quit warriors go hard until the end...there are too many lucky punches thrown in football for a boxer to give up..example...winky killed tito but he kept coming forward...taking shot and everything....never quit/take a dive....but hell, most boxers think since DLH did it I can...lol

        Taking a dive. When you quit you destroy your reputation. When you take a dive your destroying the sport.

          taking a dive is far worse. Usually fighters that quit have taken a beating. Most fighters that take a dive usually do it before "the beating takes place".
