    I've seen one or two who were, but it's usually not the guys who say it, or the ones you wish would say it.

    It's nice to hear fighters with that kind of attitude these days, sort of like an antidote to the safety first, quit at the earliest sign of difficulty, my health comes first crowd. When you actually see dudes walk through the punishment with that never say die attitude it's amazing. My favorite fights are ones where the guys get up from multiple knockdowns and keep coming at you, or they are bleeding profusely from multiple cuts still slugging it out, spitting blood with cracked ribs and broken hands. That's what this sport is really about for me, overcoming our physical limitations, endurance of pain, subduing your own body, the real opponent, through an act of will.

    15 rounds in 100% humidity at 40 celcius whilst getting your head caved in by Joe Frazier is probably worse than death.

    Sometimes knowing when to quit is the right thing to do. **** isn't a ****ing war. Your opponent didn't hurt your family. Why keep going when you're getting wrecked. Lose the battle. Regroup. Train harder. Give it another try.

    When they look at it rationally in hindsight of course not but wouldnt believe how proud some people can be. Add a bit of needle to a match up and the will not to get beaten becomes almost like a psychosis .

    Yeah, I don't understand those who say he quit against Benn. After constantly blinking, he took a knee, closed his eyes and was carried out.
    True, some say he didn't almost die, rather he quit.:xqw
