    He was getting embarrassed and used a shit load of excuses like Leonard was clowning around, stomach aches, not being prepared, etc.

    The Duran fight came into my mind first. Probably the most famous fight in boxing history where a so called Macho warrior just quits.

    I remember when Benitez suffered some kind of broken leg after a flash knockdown against Davey Moore. The referee was waving the fight to continue but Benitez kept looking at the ref and pointing to his leg, so the ref finally had to wave it off. Now that's not exactly saying fuck it, but it wasn't just the ref calling it either.

    As for no mas, yeah, that's about the only one that comes to mind where a guy says "fuck it" for no apparent reason at all, no knockdown, nothing. That was a big fight too. Seems to me there was some issue about whether Duran would get paid, I can't remember how that turned out.

    so called Macho warrior? are you trying to imply that just cause of this fight Duran of all people was not a warrior? if so, well buddy you got some studying to do. Leonard chose to do the smart thing in the rematch, which was box, and i applaude him for that, but who got the best of it when it was a war? oh yea Duran was the one to get his hand raised, and how many other wars did he go on to have, plenty

    back to the main subject, Golota also quit against a stoned Mike Tyson, Freitas quit against Corrales, both fights in the middle of the round

    Yeah, I remember the cramps story coming from the Duran cramp some time after the fight, that might be part of it, more likely that the man he totally despised got inside his head in a way he couldn't deal with. But Duran gets a benefit of the doubt that few other boxers would. At the time I was not at all pleased with how this unfolded, but now I don't really care one way or another.

    This guy was known as Mr. Macho, that was the image and aura he gave off. His fans have defended for years why he quit. Stomach cramps, ballooning up in weight between fights, Leonard taunting, Leonard acting like a clown, Leonard cheating, etc.

    He was outbox and outclass period. The first time during his days of dominance that he quits and turns around. And who gives a crap if it was a war and Leonard lost the first time? Boxing ain't just about brawls. Leonard didn't fight a smart fight the 1st time. What matters is that Leonard got the best of him the 2nd time around and make the so called macho warrior quit and have his fans come up with lame excuses.

    Hell I take a Leonard anyday, now that's a warrior. See Hearns-Leonard fight where he's losing badly and needs a ko, if leonard was Duran he would of quit and hearns would have won. Not only that but he wouldn't have that retina injury and lost his prime years.

    Go watch how Leonard and Duran fought Marvin Hagler.

    Then come back and tell us all who the real warrior was.
