If I cared about what people thought about me, why would I? And even if I didn't, why wouldn't I? You feel me? Also, another reason many of these ''warriors'' who are too scared to quit won't quit is because they're greedy, shallow and materialistic and their greed for financial gain and status symbols compels them to fight through adversity. So people who glorify these shallow cowards who are too mentally weak and scared to quit also glorify greed and materialism which are the root of all evil and cause much of the misery and woe in the world.
Did you know that at the bell to end the fight Tex turned to ref Steve Crosson & asked him for 3 more rounds & he'd stop Larry because Larry's hands hurt him too much to hit him any more. I thought that was just Tex joking but Steve Crosson verified it in Dallas a while later. He said Tex was serious too I'm sure. Another thing was the morning after the fight they were in the hotel having breakfast & Larry had to ask Tex's wife to cut up his breakfast for him because his hands were so swollen he couldn't do it Tex Cobb was without doubt the toughest guy I have ever met
