P4P Top 10 Cowardliest Boxers of All Time

Bruce Seldon perhaps.
1996
i think he saw that mike tyson was attempting to hit him so he dived to the floor a couple of times. then when he saw the referee was going to let him carry on, he faked rubbery legs.
it lookd very much like that to me anyway.

henry akinwande - i twice saw him disqualified for excessive holding, once in an amateur fight in the ABA championships final, and once against lennox Lewis in 1997. Both times i think he was terrfied - despite being about 6'7 and with a telescopic reach and goog skills and power. he really let himself down


Andrew Golota was a serial quitter

Duran deserves a mention

 

Duran? No way man.

 

Lol at calling Duran a coward just cause he quit on the second SRL fight?

 

Wlad came back from three devastating losses to become the most dominant heavyweight of the last twenty years.That isn't a coward,laddy.

 

Luis Resto...

 

I certainly hope those adding to this thread at the very least have been in the ring against a world class fighter. That should be the least you should have done to add names here.

 

that's nonsense.

cowardice can be recognized from the safe seats by a non-world-class-fighter, just as courage or power or boxing skill can be recognized.

cowardice is just another negative attribute that can be recognized by the spectator. like slow hands. or a weak chin. or feather fists

 

Spot on Seamus. Way too many seem to prefer their boxers to literally die inside the ring :-(

 

Watching a bunch of keyboard warriors calling out world class professional boxers as cowards is about as low and chicken**** an exercise as the internet provides.

Sorry, it's the truth.

I tried my hand at the sport for a few years before moving onto sports in which I was more gifted. It's a tough ****ing row to hoe at any level, and much more so at the level where guys have every bit of the ability to kill you.

 

I am no boxer (as I found out at a very amatuer level), but my candidate, arguably did the killing...

 

Are you crazy?

 

Nah. This thread is outta line.

No coward steps into the professional prize ring, period. Even sparring takes courage. Don't buy it? Try it.
