Both are true for Holyfield, yes or no? Frazier quit in Manilla, yes or no? So is nothing but a quitter. This kind of idiotic black and white thinking is just as sign of emotional aversion dumped on a fighter. Vitali has his flaws, like every fighter and quitting against Byrd may have saved his career and came at a heavy price for his reputation and resume. Who can say if it was a smart decision?
I find it comical how the haters use the Bryd fight to show how Vitali is supposedly a "quitter", yet never mention how much Vitali protested when the Lewis fight was stopped. Vitali didn't care that his eye was torn up, he wanted to fight.
As a professional he never took steroids like James Toney and Holyfield, and Sugar Shane Mosley, did in their professional career. Victor Conte saw Mosley take steroids. Did you start a thread on either one of them as steroid abusers? Point us to one you started on either one of them. Or you are selective hater. As an amateur he did take something given to him by a doctor classified as a steroid. Yes. Did he quit once when he had an injury more than 10 years ago? Yes, does that make him a quitter now? No. He makes others quit after giving out punishment that they can't take any more and sends those who don't quit to huge hospital bills.
You mean so far he has never been caught as a professional. That does not mean he has never taken steroids. :yep He quit, he's a quitter. :hat
Is Frazier a quitter yes or no? Where is your thread that you are taunting Mosley, Toney and Holyfield fans as steroid abusers as professionals? Or are you a selective hater, yes or no??
So I guess that means James Toney, Shane Mosley, Evander Holyfield, etc. are all bigger cheats than Vitali. Thanks for clearing that up....................
Protesting after the Lewis fight was stopped just proves my glass heart theory 100%. He never protested when the doctor said he was going to stop it, or when his corner shoved tampons into the wound at the end of the 6th round. I see the Lewis fight as quittage part 2, only this time his corner were ready for VITLAYS ringpiece to turn into a doughnut again and got the doctor to quit on his behalf. Having a ****** fit when you know the fights already over is about as cowardly as it gets, incidentally.
No. However, quitting in order to preserve your fighting career because of a serious injury you suffered in the ring is a heck of a lot different than what you haters are making it out to be. Vitali was AHEAD in the fight, which gives credibility to the fact that it was a serious injury. If Vitali had been losing the fight, and just said "my arm hurts", and quit, and nothing had really been wrong with his arm/shoulder, well then you would have a point. But that is NOT what happened.
