lets get it straight, boxers can be cowardly

[IronDanHamza]

What? So guys like Victor Ortiz who talk ****, sucker people into paying for tickets/ppv then proceed to quit literally 5 separate times is not a coward? Victor is the definition of a coward, and he’s not the only boxer to quit.

Ps I boxed for 10 years on and off, never turned pro but fought a lot, took some savage beatings and wanted to quit many times but never did so I feel I can judge.

Not all boxers are guys like Arthur Abraham who will fight 8 rounds with a broken jaw...and still win.

No Victor Ortiz is NOT a coward. Is he a quitter? Yes but no he's not a coward.

The fact that he even steps through the ropes and fights other world class trained fighters should tell you that.

So you think that if a fighter quits because he is taking life threatening punishment, that makes them a coward?

So you actually think that Roberto Duran, Oscar De La Hoya, Sonny Liston, Julio Cesar Chavez etc are cowards?

You are aware that one punch can kill you, right?

FAR too much gets directed toward the boxers when is the management that is making the decisions. Fans have a very simple view of things. Most of the people here seem to think the fighters themselves make these decisions, write the contacts, etc. Typically, they pay professionals a lot of money to guide them in these matters. Look at the flack AJ catches for what Hearn does. I seriously doubt AJ is a coward. But, looking at how he's managed, it creates that impression. The whole Golovkin/Ward thing was the same way with Golovkin looking bad. You can't judge the courage of a pro fighter based on how his management is guiding him.

Anyone who puts their life on the line to make a living is not a coward.

Abel Sanchez and Hearn for example, are two dudes who know how hard it is to cultivate, much less find talent to get them to an elite level.

The amount of money their guy gets because of the work they put in, why risk it to set them up with guys who are good enough to end their reign?

Its why GGG would more than likely never fight a Charlo or Andrade because to fight them and lose kills whatever gravy train rolling through.

Postal workers...

Do they put their lives on the line?

If so, they aren't cowardly either.

You hit the nail on the head. Somebody go ahead and delete this thread. It’s beyond ridiculous.

If it helps your vagina heal, I criticized DLH for protecting (ducking) Canelo in another thread today. I know you insecure fanboys can't handle honesty but you're going to have to live with it. The world is a scary place.

So transparent...no need to pretend to be impartial. Everyone is a fan boy, insecure, angry etc...your routine is getting old.

I find it distasteful to call a man a coward who steps into the ring KNOWING the man standing across from him would love nothing more than to knock him unconscious, but does so anyway. Especially when you do so from the safe confines of your home behind a keyboard.

A coward runs from conflict not towards it

But it also takes a smart one to pick his battles
