And once again (and this will be the last time I type it, because I'm sick of repeating myself only to have Ortiz apologists simply ignore what I said.....) the whole "would you fight on with a broken jaw?" argument is completely illogical and entirely irrelevant here.
None of us are professional boxers (well, some of us may be in disguise), and it's not our JOB to get hit in the face and hit others in the face for a living. It is however Victor Ortiz's job, and he gets paid millions of dollars to do it.
How cool would it be if you could just quit your job whenever you felt it was too demanding and you'd still get paid for it, and still be employed the following day and allowed to earn paychecks again? Because that's what Victor Ortiz does : He's paid millions of dollars to get in the ring and fight, and every time it gets too rough for his liking he throws his arms in the air, says "**** it", quits, collects his paycheck, and goes home until he gets another fight lined up.
