Comments Thread For: Don't Tell Me Daniel Dubois is a Quitter

Best post of the thread. I’d call each one that uses the term a yellow coward. Each and every one of them. Simple cowards.

Okay but no need to bring race into this

So your calling all the experienced pro boxers who called him it cowards then?

They say it without malice because they know what the score is. That’s the difference.

Yellow has nothing to do with race and the term has nothing at all to do with race.

“ It's the kind of word cowboys use, partner. This word originally applied to birds that literally have a yellow belly, like the yellow-bellied sapsucker. From there, it came to mean an insult for cowards. If you're afraid to ask someone on a date, you're yellow-bellied.”

The weird part about the human brain is if we change the scenario you can get the opposite result, lets say his family is being killed by *********, does he quit then probably not and way beyond a busted a swollen shut eye, so the deeper question is when is a quitter really a quitter.

I typically expect this rhetoric from boxing fans, but it was very disappointing to hear other boxers double down on it.

Daniel Dubois has a broken orbital bone and potential nerve damage. His eye will likely never be the same again, and it could've been much, much worse.

If he wants to continue, he should take 12-14 months to recalibrate. We've seen with Kell Brook and Margarito that the worse thing you could do is is rush back.

Anyone else catch this? Damn, that was dark.

Dubois should have known all these before calling someone's mother blind. He is a quitter pure and simple! No excuse should be made for him

He did quit, that is an established fact and obvious to any one that has watched and understands boxing.

I don't blame him, he was getting embarrassed and dropped numerous times and looked foolish, he was embarrassed, fighting in a foreign country.... maybe some problems behind the scenes..... it all built into him turning his back on the ref and then lazing on the ropes trying to save face.

I still have the same respect for him I did before he quit....... same with Dubois...... these guys are fighters and even the hardest men in the world can wilt under pressure......... seen it happen to many a hard man in my life, even the military at 16-20 years old.

Joshua was embarrassed and looking for a way out, he used that "tactic" to quit, so people like you can claim he didn't.

Everyone can be broken..... including myself.

I don't doubt if the ref had allowed the fight to carry on AJ would have gone back out and took another schlacking from Ruiz, which wouldn't be quitting.

I think he was pretty much defeated and concussed but whether he was quitting or was buying a timeout is disputable and certainly not an 'established fact'.
