Does his explanation about having lasted the rest of the round with a smashed to pieces eye socket not hold some water as a counter argument to those who want to condemn him for quitting ?
Not in the slightest; he threw something like 1 jab for the full 120 seconds he seems to be trying to get credit for. For someone who even in this interview still claims >>>> I’m willing to put down the life.
Then surely youd expect him to be throwing something more than 1 jab in 120 seconds?

Not on here. AJ quit mid round but he gets 'redemption '!

Reads like he putting blame og stoppage on his corner; trying to give excuses why THEY quit ...
He is truly delusional ... trying to say he was saying "no way" about quitting ... when really we all seen him sat there looking terrified and sorry for himself with quit all over his face when he mouthed meekly "no" when asked if he wanted to continue.
His legacy is made now; BJS who talked shlt and quit soon as he got hit.
He has made enough money - what else is boxing going to give him now? no way he gets redemption for the way he quit against Canelo.
Great post mate.

It’s put me off paying for boxing if they’re just going to give up when punched in the face, and bitch out like a little pussy.
I remember watching Tyson-Bruno II at my house with a few of the boys on a new TV, all comfortable and actually appreciating Frank having a go and going out on his shield like a man.

You don't have to like him, I don't particularly, but that is a ridiculously one sided assessment of an excellent career. Nigel Benn openly tells people he quit against Collins and didn't even train for that bout and gets laughs and applause! Billy has lost to the P4P no 1. He didn't get hit once in his career and quit immediately. He qualified for the Olympics at 17. All these things still happened whether people like him or not.
The major difference is that Benn proved himself many times prior to the Collins defeat; I am pretty sure everyone knew that was a washed up Benn around then.
Where as BJS has never demonstrated that never-say-die attitude; even though he promised us he would if required ... well it was required in that round Canelo landed that uppercut ... and BJS panicked and quit immediately.

He didn't. He saw the round out. There's no point discussing it on here because everyone hates Billy. But if that's the worst 'quit' you've ever seen in your life you clearly haven't seen much boxing. Tyson biting Holyfields ear was a quit, AJ certainly was, Benn definitely, Eubank tried to get himself disqualified against Sherry because he knew he was getting beat, although saved by bent ref and judges. Oscar, Hatton, loads of others have question marks against defeats.

He probably thought because of the woeful shape of Ruiz that he couldn't keep it up.

Nothing to do with Holy constantly head butting Tyson without warning or Sherry whispering racist remarks holding from behind (while out on his feet)

If you were shown footage of the 8th rd with no prior knowledge or opinion of the fighters involved or comments they had made and it was explained to you that his eye socket was smashed by that punch then would you still have the same opinion of him ? Can it not be argued that he showed a fair degree of bravery to get to the end of the round with a bloodthirsty Canelo trying to seriously hurt and humiliate him ? Admittedly not as much bravery as Bill himself claimed to have but still an admirable amount of bravery.

Hell of a surgeon to get Saunders patched up, flown back to the Uk and ferrying his little angels round in about 2 weeks flat, with his eye looking remarkably good.
I personally think if he retires it won't help his legacy at all when it come to the fight against Alvarez and how it ended. Trouble is, he's lost his aura now and regardless. I think a lot of fighters would fancy their chances against him now if he was to carry on.

There are guys on here much better qualified than me to comment so I’m prepared to be corrected but I’m guessing that the amount of pain one is in from a smashed eye socket might well cause the victim to need to call upon far greater reserves of bravery than if he were merely concussed
