    And Robinson quit against Maxim. I know people will say "ohh it was hot" "oh he had to carry Maxim's weight". That's true. But he was still conscious, he could still get up, he chose not to.

    These guys are still human after all!

    The ref could not finish the fight, that is how how it was dipstick.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    You're just being a f*<kin' idiot with this bull$#!t here. I try to stay away from being rude, but when someone makes an idiotic statement like this, ya can't sugar-coat it...

    Benny vs DuranGun to my head. Benny wins a rematch
    Mosley vs Sweet Pea. But its another that could go either way. Shane looked indestructible at 135 but in truth his record was a little deceiving. Several stiffs.135 was not Pernell's best weight but Shane never saw anything like him.
    Ike Williams vs Mayweather. As unpopular as that may be. Floyd is a much better fighter now then he was at 135

    Advance it from there gentlemen!
    A little fence sitting but that's how I see it. I can also see most of them going the other way. As crazy as it sounds I'm more sure about Williams beating Floyd @135 then I am on the outcome of the others.

    Why is that idiotic? He quit, didn't he?

    And so what if the fat, middle-aged ref couldn't finish the fight? That's supposed to mean something? I get it was hot, but he quit. There's no getting around it.

    I'm not saying SRR was a sissy, I'm just saying he was human just like any other fighter.

    My point is that we'll go out of our way to justify why an old timer showed a bit of weakness and quit, but we'll bury a modern guy in a second if he shows the same weakness and go on about how "back in the day, fighters didn't quit".

    Roberto Duran quit worse than anyone I've ever seen, and you'll still get people trying to justify it.

    It's hard to believe, but far too common it seems: Too many people attempt to comment on a fight without actually having seen it...

    Who did that? If you're referring to me, please tell me what I'm missing, because I have indeed seen the fight.
