    Yuri quit in his next fight against Wolak.

    Speaking of Wolak, that guy has some big balls.

    I don't know if you consider this a brave thing.... but I do......

    Arguello telling Manccini (while Manccinis' father was right there seating on a wheel chair) "I love your father", "He is the most beautiful thing you have, like I have my father." ....... "if there is anything I can do for you let me know please".....

    After knocking down and stopping somebodie's son, I don't think it is, or would be easy to talk about it right there..... what I mean is that you have to have the COURAGE to talk right there in from of his father, taking into consideration the circumstances that applied to that fight at time.
     
  4. :lol::lol::lol: Thats the bravest thing you seen you ****ing *****. You need to come out on the town with me and i'll show you the meaning of brave.

    :lol: You know what, I am laughing at you too.....

    I bet you are one of those mufers who thinks that nothing compares to what you have experienced.... (Eventhough you don't know me, and you don't know what I have been through)

    Some times it isn't about punching somebody on his face, or bleeding to death while fighting..... but to admit that you are ****ing wrong....

    When was the last time you had the balls to admit (or you have admitted)you were wrong???? Something that may hurt your ****ing pride.... just a question...

    Agree with 'Power Puncher' , to many to quote, it takes bravery above and beyond most sports o even enter he ring and far too many instances of courage to determine which were the greatest examples.

    Roberto Duran quitting himself in Duran v Leonard II. Leonard didnt make him quit, any other fighter in that situation, cramp, turtle heading and being embarrassed wwould've been made to quit by Leonard. But Duran wasn't made to quit by Leonard..he quit himself!

    Very brave :good The complete antithesis to the guy in your avatar who spent half of his bid for the world's title with a washed up, fat Ali, sticking his head out of the ring.One had a champions mentality ,the other a loser's
