aside from billy joe, what other boxers quit in big fights?

Duran vs Leonard

Robinson vs Maxim

Anthony Joshua

oscar vs manny too

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.

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?

I think Khan jacked it in against Crawford.

Michael Hunter vs Steve Molitor.

Rigondeaux and Walters against Lomachenko, the worst type of quitters

Million %

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.

We stay up until 6am for that last night? fornicate off.

And ended up one-eyed or blind, or severely demented.

Don’t pretend you’re some tough guy then or act like the cockiest pudendum around if you’re going to just stop when you’re punched in the face in a boxing ring

Cotto v Maragarita

What about Benn vs Collins twice?

Benn openly admits he did the weight in the sauna. Didn't train

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.

Wouldn't argue with that.

Benn could be really brave, other times he would swallow it. Complex guy.

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.

Yeah. But also he was incredibly brave against Eubank and quit against Watson. He’s definitely a warrior, just a bit random.

I don't think he quit against Watson, he was exhausted and done.

But how do we define quit!
