    This has 8 likes on a boxing forum, lol.

    He got up almost half a dozen times, was gassed, maybe concussed, still got up the final time, and people list this as one of the worst quit jobs.

    Just, lol.

    AJ haters/Fury fanboys are tools, what do you expect.

    Against Andy Ruiz. A guy he had no business losing to in the first place, in his debut to the US as an undefeated unified champion.

    "Getting up" means sweet FA if you're no longer fighting back. He got scared and quit on the ropes.

    Douglas against Holyfield. He was going to go fishing.

    Yes, Canelo's uppercut was harder than Saunders' skull.

    It's ridiculous isn't it

    If the ref had allowed the fight to carry on, he was going to carry on

    The total opposite of a quit job

    He did, but so did Dubois when BJS was bashing him for quitting. Karma is a biatch.

    Popo Freitas vs Corrales. It's not very common to see a fighter tell the referee that he opts to retreat to his corner instead of fighting on.

    True but I wouldn't really consider it quitting if your eye is at the point of blinding you permanently.
