    Too many punch drunk guys, you need your brains in this world where everybody has an angle and will rip you off if given the chance. Kudos to those who fight, but those who don't I say discretion is the better part of valor/thread

    Michael Spinks retired after his only professional loss to Mike Tyson.

    Depends on what you want to achieve. If you want greatness you cant quit after one loss

    Its not uncommon that you have guys that aspire to be boxers, but they also have aspirations of being a champion, they simply want to fight. They have the fire, but it doesnt burn with the intensity of a contender

    1 or 2 fights, getting hit in the face, HARD, finding out the pain of it in the ring. Its enough for them.

    Some men fight to exorcise a demon. A few fights, demon is burned out. They dont want or need anymore, nothing left to prove

    It takes a special kind of moron not to realise the obvious causes of such a phenomenon.

    It's ok, but only if they lose to Euro-level talent. The gap in skills can sometimes be disheartening.:deal

    I think Herbzg got hacked.
    He posted something without saying Euro-level.
