Broken jaw doesn't warrant quitting?

No... He needed to be a Mexican warrior and he let Mexico down.

 

"None of us are professional boxers (well, some of us may be in disguise), and it's not our JOB to get hit in the face and hit others in the face for a living. It is however Victor Ortiz's job, and he gets paid millions of dollars to do it.

How cool would it be if you could just quit your job whenever you felt it was too demanding and you'd still get paid for it, and still be employed the following day and allowed to earn paychecks again? Because that's what Victor Ortiz does : He's paid millions of dollars to get in the ring and fight, and every time it gets too rough for his liking he throws his arms in the air, says "f*ck it", quits, collects his paycheck, and goes home until he gets another fight lined up."

But people are failing to realize that regardless if Ortiz "gutted out" the fight with it broken, the Canelo fight was off the table due to injury anyways right?

Armchair warriors let me tell ya.

 

Excellent post. Which is why i get pissed when Cotto gets the pass for quiting and for openly saying that his "family comes first". Are you kidding me?? Do you think you are the only one with a family??

Fighting until the bitter end is their job. That is why i am not a boxer. I do not need to do that. I am a fan for a reason. It is what seperates me, and them.

 

I guess I can just quit and go home on Monday when it's hot outside, don't wanna get a heatstroke now.

Not like I would be fired.

 

Ali vs. Norton and Frazier
Abraham vs. Miranda
Pernell vs. Trinidad

Ring a bell????????

 

Yeah because having a broken jaw equates to it being a job where you can take breaks whenever you want, probably to stop and have a cigarette :roll:

 

The problem is, he was against an "opponent" and he is winning the fight.

By the way, Ali did not quit.

So did Arthur Abraham.

Shows you how he was a bit overrated in this forum as well.

 

Liston-Marshall
Cotto-Guido (Paulie)

 

Ruddock vs Tyson II

 

Not surprised Floyd fanboys coming to Ortiz defense. Shameless lot you are. ANYTHING to protect Floyd's opp.

This wouldn't be the first time a fighter fought through a broken jaw. Won't be the last.

 

Did Lopez have PLASTER wraps and was Lopez high on Ephedra? :rasta

Victor is boxing ***** right now. Right behind Arce.

 

I knew someone would finally get up and say it.

Nice one.

 

like who?
