    I think quitting is saying "NO MAS" Duran, Walter style where theirs still fight to be had but you dont want to fight no more.

    I think getting subdued into calling it a day like Cotto did or how Dirrel did vs Benavidez is different, sure they folded up and didn't want no more and was looking for someone to stop it for them like the ref or the corner but thats not really quitting they gave it their all and they have no more left to give that imo is not quitting it just being bested in the worse way.

      Roberto Duran = quitter

      Victor Ortiz (jaw broke) = not a quitter

        It is really difficult to know when it happens but one indication of it is when the fighter gets hit by a jab, takes a know and waits for the count. Very very difficult to spot and there are not too many cases if one at all.

            Personally, I don't like the quit talk at all. And a young man taking punches on a broken eye socket and feeling nerve impacts certainly doesn't qualify for the term 'quitter'.
            McCleen almost had the dark destroyer out!

            I think the Korean doo ku Kim’s (spelling)
            Should have stopped the contest.

            Jimmy Garcia too.. Colombian fans didn’t care that he was taking a savage beating!

              Many ways to quit. The two worst I've seen recently are Walters and Rigo against Loma. Those were pathetic and nutless.

                Quitting is quitting. Just because they had a good reason to quit doesn’t change the definition of the word lol.

                      Did Franco quit against Moloney?

                      The referee asked him if he was able to continue and he said "no".

                      If the referee or Doctor had asked Dubois would that make it ok?

                      I see a very fine line. If you're beaten to the point of an injury you can't continue with - what difference does it make who made the call?
