Who were boxings biggest mental midgets?

Broner post-Maidana and Chavez Jr. stand out for me. The latter routinely underperforms and quits in truly bizarre circumstances.

Most boxers who get discouraged in tough fights, like Judah, I wouldn't call mentally weak, they're just not elite level psychologically. That said he definitely could have continued against Khan, for example, then got up after 10 and acted all confused. That's lying to yourself.

 

You can though

 

There are some guys who aren't mentally weak but their mental toughness doesnt match their physical toughness. Getting beat on by world class opponents for 36 minutes isn't for most people.

 

Zab Judah
Sonny Liston
Mike Tyson

basically any fighter that has quit multiple times in a fight.

 

i really can't
away man

 

There are too many to mention

 

Judah is harsh. Got the W v Lucas, got knocked down plenty and continued

 

Victor Ortiz

 

David Haye

 

let him off after bellew

 

Don't forget Matthysse. He's certainly one of them.

 

Dirrel for sure.

 

I like Kell Brook but I tend to agree, he's never seemed like the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

I think Vic Ortiz and Golota had/have genuine issues, and shouldn't really ve mocked for it.

Ortiz should have stepped away from the sport a while back. He should get ahit for sticking around and talking ****.

 

Nah fighting 8 / 9 or whatever it was rounds with a snapped achilles tendon whilst also being over the hill and unable to pull the trigger rules him out

Showed proper bollocks in that fight. Fair play
