“I’m ready to die in the ring”

LMMFAO. Nice

 

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.

 

I believe you.

 

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

 

Ali, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier.

 

Charlie Zelenoff would, that guy had heart you know.

 

Hard to scare subway's poster boy.

 

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 .

 

im sure pac man died for a few seconds after the JMM knockout

 

mexican and japanese fighters are probably the only ones who are willing to die in the ring

 

Yes

 

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.

 

This became a bit more grim...
