Yoel had some interesting stool incidents.
the all time best oneBJ Penn after all the "to the death" talk.
What's your most memorable fighter that quit on the stool?
the injury was really limiting his movement though...Personally I think Royce would of tried to continue if his father hadnt stopped it and got smashed even worse
nah, same heart, they both gave us 90mns and cemented their legacy there for us. SAKU G. wouldnt be GOAT without Hoyce.10x the heart of most fighters, but still only half the heart of Sakuraba
Duran´s case is indeed different...Roberto Duran, though I suppose that wasn't actually on the stool. On the stool BJ against GSP.
Still, I blame the corners for most of those - though not Duran, he was losing on points but not being hit hard. There must of been something else going on with him. A fighter who's at the point of quitting on the stool has usually taken a huge beating, and his corner should quit for him. Frazier-Ali 3 comes to mind - Frazier's corner pulled him, though Frazier wanted to go back in. Both of their corner's should have pulled them actually, both took horrible damage that followed them the rest of their lives.

To the death bj and then taking his mummy to cry about it.
My best ever , I don't know who but he was completely demolishing a guy, the ref didn't stop it so he quit. Found that extremely high principled
He didn't quit, his corner stopped it, not the same thing at all.BJ Penn against GSP, brother Jay tossed in towel. He was done.

was in an other fight...Hoyce feeling the need to have the testosterone of 20 men for the hematch takes away from it in my eyes
No disrespect to Hoyce but he doesn't have Saku's heart
was in another fight...
2nd fight is irrelevant, Hoyce was already past his physical prime in the 1st, and the 2nd fight had a 'normal' fight configuration, not an ATG Vale Tudo oneI know, it still happened though
And it showed to me, a lack of heart. Being unwilling to face a rival you went 90 minutes with on an even playing field

a matter of perspective, I stop seeing relevance when the fighter is way past his prime...It's not irrelevant. He cheated against his greatest rival. That takes away from the heart he showed in the first fight because he wasn't willing to fight him fairly the second time. Whether he was afraid of losing or afraid of Sakuraba he gave into his fear and cheated when Saku did not
