Is Walters a coward?

I'm not a professional fighter so I can't necessarily criticise the heart of any fighter but at the same time I can compare their heart to the heart of other fighters. if Walters was taking a spectular beating, was bloodied up and had nothing in the tank that would be no problem to throw in the towel and live to fight another day.

But this dude was getting soundly outboxed, he wasn't really marked up but was not really throwing anything so wasn't too tired. Lomanchenko started to turn up the heat and at the sign of trouble, Walters moonwalked out of the fight, imagine if Ward had quit against Kovalev when he got dropped or Marquez quit in the final pacquiao fight, neither guy would of won. I just think as a power puncher you should always stay in there as long you still have a punchers chance and haven't taken a lot of punishment.

I can't respect Walters for that last performance, what did you guys think about it?

 

But when you look at Gutnehkt for example who was soundly losing and had no chance carry on (eventhough I think the ref and corner should have stopped) make to 12 rounds, how can you respect someone like Walters who wasn't dropped, bleeding or even hurt at any point of the fight?

 

I completely agree with you bro, this is what you sign up for as a fighter if you can't handle it you shouldn't do it. But what makes this so much worse is I could accept him quitting if he was taking a beating and he didn't have a punchers chance but he quit when he realised he may get dropped or lose every other round from that point on.

 

It might of been but even still to take that deal makes him more of a coward.

 

Yeah he is and the worst thing every other fighter he gets in now knows it so I expect things to get tougher for him.

 

Definitely he is a bully but when the going gets tough he showed he can't stand in the kitchen.

 

Ducking forever? I didn't think he was ducking to begin with, if he said look I've not been paid enough, I got an unfair draw in my last fight and I haven't been active enough to face someone like Loma atm, I personally wouldn't see that as ducking. But taking a dive which may potentially ruin your career is a joke. He will probably be dropped by HBO and he has lost the respect of a lot of fans.
