Do you consider Peter a quiter after his loss against Vitaly?

Yes. Not just ebcause he quit on his stool because I think no less of Israel Vasquez for quitiing after fighting a hell of a fight but giving up because he had a broken nose, or Joe Frazier for giving up after taking all that punishment against Ali, but Peter just lethargically trapsed through the motions like he had no intention of winning the fight, then gave up.

 

of course he quit, he wasnt injured like vitali vs byrd

 

Peter talked somuch **** about Vitali is was ridiculous. Than he quits own his stool. He is a quiter.

 

Yea he quit, gave up, cried uncle, or tanked it either way you spin it his grill was starting to look like mashed potato's he was outta gas, and getting beaten to a pulp, he had no other options, his corner should have taken a long hard look at him after the 6th and told him to go for broke the next 2 rounds or they were going to throw in the towel.

 

Frazier didn't quit. He wanted to go out for the 15th round, but Eddie Futch called it off.

 

Yes, huge quitter. Especially poor coming from a defending champion.

I said this about Cotto: If you want to quit do so after taking a punch (like Morales-Pac) and stay down on the canvas. Don't just take a knee or retire on your stool. That hurts your image and marketability much more, IMO.

 

Peter quit its that simple. If he knew he did not want to go on than take a knee in the ring and not quit in your corner and take away from what Vitali did to him.

 

Master Betty. LOL

I would be inclined to agree with you.

 

Oh I know, he's nowhere near Vitali's class (or even Wlad's for that matter).

 

I'll never call a fighter a quitter if he decides that he can't do it/is taking too much punishment/doesn't have it in him and knows it's over and gives up. Live to fight another day and if the punishment is too much, don't waste anymore of my time/your time and your opponents time and go home.

Sometimes your best just ain't enough.

 

thats the problem with open scoring.........mentally its bad for the fighter...when they hear they are 8 roounds...behind...and nothing ur doin is workin.....

so he quit on his stool....to possibly fight again....but probably not for a title..until tthe brothers retire....

imo...........

 

Co-sign.

 

Peter made the correct decision to stop the contest, it doesn't make him a quitter. It's how he feels inside that matters and I'm not entirely sure he'll be able to shake that feeling combined with the feeling of being completely dominated (again, by a Klitschko) for some time if ever.

 

He is a quitter, who couldn't back up his big talk. The corner wasn't throwing in the towel, he was the one initiating the quitting. He didn't get in shape to fight the most important fight in his life. He either ignores his corner's advice to attempt to get inside, or lacks the ability to get inside without getting hit hard in the face.

Also, he should have shown up after the fight, and admitted that Klitschko was a great fighter, the best fighter he had faced. He should have apologized. But he doesn't have the courage to face the media after his loss.
