champs with broken jaws...

[IamInuit]

Not sure how this is reduction to absurdity.

Fact is...all of those I alluded to felt some calling to carry on. Ortiz is not one of those men. I'll also stick to the question which begs itself. How many fighters in this coddled backwards interpretation of risk and reward would have carried on with a broken jaw? None I say. Not a one.

its absurd cause it's a broken jaw, not death in the ring.

as for risk/reward... canelo alvarez money can get you the best surgeons around.

look at arthur abraham...dedicated prize fighter/champion.

surfer vic just wants everyone to like him cause he's got abandonment issues.

No what you just said is and another who lost the plot. Take a remedial reading course instead of trying to come up with some one liner.

Boxers die in the ring dumb ass because they do the very thing that is/was expected of Ortiz.

lol Ortiz ain't no pussy! I saw my wife give birth three weeks ago... those things will stretch a mile before they tear an inch But seriously, its a little harsh questioning any fighter's heart from behind a keyboard. Sure alot of fighters have fought on with injuries but alot have also quit on their stool. It'd be interesting to find out how many posters here have fought through such adversity... maybe we should set up some kind of poll I think Cotto said it best during his Face Off with Margarito. At the end of the day the fans will remember you as a hardkunt, cheer you on while you fuck yourself up but when the curtains come down they won't be there to look after you and your family. Come to think of it, if Margarito took a leaf out of "little girl" Cotto's book maybe he'd still be able to take a left hook to that eyesore of an eye he's scored himself

the difference is the only time Cotto gave in was against a man who was packing concrete in his gloves and he still took his lumps till the 11th with a broken nose, Ortiz has already flaked out not once but twice, and in the only other loss he was content with the stoppage, Cotto said he wouldn't die in the ring but he never backed down from a fair challenge or looked for the easy way out like Ortiz has done already on 3 different occasions

hmmm.... remedial reading course huh? i read and understood what you wrote.

my bad bro! i didn't realize that there are a bunch of fighters that have died from broken jaws...

this thread has shown there's quite a few fighters that have suffered broken jaws and have continued to fight the fights in which they had their jaws broken, and have continued fighting and had successful careers after.

no broken jaw deaths listed so far.... maybe you can enlighten us?

Ali fought with a broken jaw but did say if he had known he would not have carried on but I guess if he knew near the end of the fight he would have carried on, if it was at the start he said he would not have.

Abraham showed a massive heart when he fought Miranda and no one would have thought any less of his had he retired from that fight.
