Re: quitting in big fights
Ali vs Holmes
Tszyu vs Hatton
Martinez vs Cotto
Chavez vs De La Hoya
Many of the greatest boxers ever have quit, including Ali, Robinson, Duran, Chavez, Tyson, etc.

Re: quitting in big fights
Think Ali quit vs Holmes, in much the same way as Frazier quit vs Ali....e.g. it was the chief second pulling him out....neither said they want out and would have continued.
Memory is fading but didnt Cotto take a voluntary knee vs Margarito?

It’s becoming a common trend. In the 20s they were going 157 rounds with every bone in their face and ribcage broken clean in multiple places. 4-6oz horse hair gloves. For a $1.00 purse. They weren’t quitting.

Re: quitting in big fights
Sadly, Benn did in Collins 2. The classic final payday scenario.
Tom Collins v Jeff Harding. A cracking first opportunity for a world title, given his record. Called it a day on his stool after a 2 round war, later on complaining of being hit in the throat. Had his purse withheld at first.
Great Aussie coverage ("jeez, these blokes must have had it in the contract for a 'bazooka's only' fight")
in what was 6 minutes of tit for tat pummelling. Collins was getting on a bit compared to the Aussie
hard man and probably thought fook this for a game of soldiers.

Collins 1 was worse. Faking an ankle injury.
Famously quit against Watson as well.

Re: quitting in big fights
Benn showed what he was against McCllellan, after that he was destroyed mentally and physically and I certainly can forgive him for collecting pay days against Collins.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 09:44Benn could be really brave, other times he would swallow it.

Yeah. But also he was incredibly brave against Eubank and quit against Watson. He’s definitely a warrior, just a bit random.Coco wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 09:49Benn showed what he was against McCllellan, after that he was destroyed mentally and physically and I certainly can forgive him for collecting pay days against Collins.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 09:44Benn could be really brave, other times he would swallow it.

I don't think he quit against Watson, he was exhausted and done.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 09:52Yeah. But also he was incredibly brave against Eubank and quit against Watson.
