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

    HBO has had some pussys on lately not to mention guerrero, ortiz and in my eyes cintron who intentionally took a 10 count against martinez because he was getting whopped so bad.

    These guys should seriously be taking up someone like barrera as a role model.

    I know,I know .Bit of a low blow .I wont hold the 1st Williams go against him.Both were solid scraps but the quick debate on the stool between he and his corner in #2 was classic.The Mensa got the better of him.Hope he got himself cleaned up.Last I saw he was looking at more charges ??

    He is recovering from a terrible auto accident in which he got badly burned. He is doing pretty well these days with his demons and I think has found some peace finally. I always like Bobby, but he was his own worse enemy. I wiss him the best.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
