    Indeed Swag, I've had some feisty arguments with other guys on this site but
    Boxing2002's arguments have plummeted to new levels of stupidity.

    He fought Marty Marshall with a broken jaw from the 3rd round and fought to the end of the fight.
    He had his nose broken by Cleveland Williams and took some monster shots and was shook up but walked him down and took him out.
    I don’t think these are the actions of a coward.
    It never sits well someone sitting from the safety of a keyboard calling any fighter a coward.

    Marty Marshall a journeyman half of his size?
    That's not achievement at all, if he didn't quit against Ali that would be showing heart and courage even if he would get KOed.

    There is no more ol less heart, you're either coward or a fighter with heart...you either fight in every fight with no quit in you or you're coward.
    You can't be hero just for few fighta and then quit and try to blind your opponent in the next fight.

    Nope, you can't be a fighter with less or more heart, you're either a fighter with no quit like Frazier or Marciano or you can be a coward who shows heart fighting twice his size guys then quits and try to blind his opponents.

    You're either a coward or a hero, there's nothing between that.

    Nope, you just don't have arguments to counter what I have said.

    Again...there's no part time hero, you're coward or a hero.
    You have no quit in you or you quit.

    Here's Swag who still claims that fighter with 35 pro fights is still green because he's jealous someone beat Williams as bad as his hero.

    Even as I keyboard warrior I woouldn't quit...unlike your hero.

    I swear, I though that Tyson fans are the worst but Liston fans exceed even that.

    If you were getting beat up by Muhammed Ali you wouldn’t sit down. What a joke… you wouldn’t even get in the ring.
    Your embarrassing yourself man.

    Honestly, do you really believe in what you are saying ? So if any man doesn't have
    the almost unique super-human courage of Joe Frazier he is a gutless coward ?
    Seriously,do you really that nonsense ?

    What’s Marshall’s size got to do with it?
    A broken jaw is a broken jaw no matter who administered it to fight on through that shows guts.
    He walked down a huge hitter like Williams twice this once again shows guts.

    It has because fighting a journeyman twice your size isn't a heart showing but fighting a Muhammad Ali who was big great hw is.
    He quits twice, he also tried to blind him= no heart.
