  • Is that a misspelling, or did you really mean "cant"?

The double negative isn’t grammatical in Standard English, but it is in other dialects. To be grammatical in Standard English it would have to be ‘Can’t fight any more.’

    To be "grammatical", it should probably include a subject.

  • Use "can't fight any more" or "can fight no more"; both OK as single negatives.
