    Name them: In the wake of Victoria Ortiz I thought I'd be a good idea here is mine off the top of my head (no order):

    Cintron
    Ortiz
    Vivian Harris (is he still around?)

    He steps in the ring and fights for a living. As far as I'm concerned he has more heart than you'll ever have.

    So? Its Drug dealers who are in the game deep whos life is at risk? same with police officers who try to protect the streets or marines who serve this country? this is not answering the question, nobody is minimizing him for not getting in a ring to fight physically I'm talking about what happens to his mindset once he gets punched in the face

    Sounds to me like your having a go at him for not being as mentally strong as other boxers. But what I'm saying is, don't have a go at someone who does something for a living which you don't have the balls to do. Fact!

    You do not know me or what I do for for a living Fact! And this is his career he chose to lace them up, he has said in the past "I shouldn't be taking punches for a living" well now that he has the money he can do something else that way he does not have to do it for a living my question is about mentally weak fighters, fights that when they get punched in the face or in deep waters wilt under pressure nobody is saying Ortiz or anyone else on the list is not a man for going inside a ring. would you hire anyone in any line of work that is not there mentally when he starts to get pressure on them?

    Andrew Gołota. Quiting fight when clearly winning and his low
    blows are just two examples how mentally weak he was in his prime years.
