Sure, it's a key moment. Defined his legacy? Hell no. So his legacy is that of a quitter. Nothing more. That's what you are saying, that's what defined means.
It's boxing... you don't quit... specially when at that time people perceived you as the most ferrousious boxer!
get a life bro. It takes so much balls to get into the ring with the most dangerous guys on the planet to risk your life for this sport and then little brats like you that would never even pick a fight on the streets are going to call fighter a disgrace. Every boxer has the right to quitt in the ring and shouldnt be judged by that, unless he is doing it regularly only intending to cash out.
He quit. You said boxers shouldn’t quit. Boxers are in the ring getting their butts kicked, not me. They know when they have had enough and are the ones that have to live with the consequences of their decision. I personally don’t want to see anyone severely injured in the ring.
I know it does... I got into the ring... for many years.... and trained boxers and that's the cardinal sin!
No, of course the "No Mas" thing does not define Duran's life. He's one of the greatest fighters ever, and that one slip up does not erase everything else he has accomplished. Of course not. But the moment WAS a very embarrassing/disgraceful/shameful (or whatever else you want to call it) one. To pretend otherwise is silly.
Cotto lasted 11 rounds... and for the record ... he didn't quit, his father threw the towel from the corner...
You did not. Otherwise you wouldnt talk such nonsense. Like i never heard an active boxer calling soneones a quitter just because they quitt during a fight once. Its always those fat stupid fans with their internet toughness that talk all that trash.

It was. But the thread is about disgraceful boxers. If you are going to categorize a boxer as disgraceful, then that means he's had a series of moments like that in his career.
For many years... bud, for many years!! I this is nonsense!! Duran quit, and he himself das carry that stigma and embarrassment for the rest of his life... did you watch the documentary on the No Mas with SRL meeting him in Panama
