    The ****in' guy made like 30 million dollars last night, and he chose to quit rather than go out on his shield. Oscar's been on the decline since the Sturm fight which he should've lost.

    Yeah, I agree, he should risk brain damage or death to satisify the macho posturings of internet boxing forum warriors. :-(

    The point is many people paid a lot of money to watch a fight, and Oscar quit.

    Well let's see if he'll refund 1/4 of his purse since he only fought 3/4's of the fight.

    WOW, I was at a company event. So Oscar quit without a major injury?

    YOU ARE DISGRACEFUL. Not those pro fighters. Please can't you just go away?

    Oscar didn't quit... get off the nonsense. He simply stopped disagreeing with his corner. Oscar never asked them to stop the fight. In reality, it should have been stopped a round sooner. It's sad to see a corner that won't take the fight in their own hands.

    Some people aren't satisfied when a fighter is beat, but also want to see them killed in the ring after it's not competitive anymore. Sadists. Where were you rooting when Leavander Johnson wasn't a quitter in 2005 when he died in the ring?

    I agree with you about De La Hoya and the rest, but IMO not Cotto. Going down during a round where you had been getting brutalized is not the same as ending it at a moment when you're not under intense pressure.

    How about the fact that the corner stopped the fight, not Oscar. Does that count for anything?

    give it a rest. de la hoya isn't 1 dimensional. it's what he gives outside of the ring that matters.

    personally, i think boxing is a brutal sport left for those with the will and the guts to give of themselves others won't. only the elite should get into boxing
