I think if you quit once you are a quitter, period. That is a given. A cheat may be a little different because it is open to interpretation and people can actually go straight. What do you think?
What is quitting to you? Taking a knee like Cotto or sitting on a stool like Marquez? Or Alexander vs Bradley? Or Ortiz quitting against Maidana or DLH against Manny? I hate when people are so quick to say this fighter quit and that fighter. Respect these guys, they also have a life outside the ring and what some say is quitting they see it as being healthy enough to be with their family after retirement. Why take unnessary punishment when perhaps that was simply not you night. A rematch is always an option. Many of those fighters mention above will be remember as warriors instead of just for one fight. I greatly disagree about once a quitter always a quitter. There are more cowards out there that will never step in a ring and avoid certain fighters than any of those guys. At least those guys have not. Now the cheating part I could agree. Margacheato comes back after all that and tries to take an energy drink which he wasnt allow
What are you? Some ones nagging bitching girlfriend? U buy into that bs that some bitter insecure cow thought up of?
You could be a quitter for one night and still be consider one of the ATG or one of the best warriors in your time. Cheaters in the other hand will always be remember as cheaters and will always get less appreciation in their wins and a lot of what ifs:deal
Then you have shame mosley who was trying to get his corner to stop the beatdown he was running from against manny. He lied to his fans for the payday.He showed up to collect that was all.
If you are clean 1/1 you are a clean fighter. If you are clean for 30 out of 30 fights you are a clean fighter. If you are caught using PEDs in your 31st fight you are a cheat forever and your previous "clean" fights immediately become suspicious. Just the way it is.
