Which active boxer has been in the most wars/hardest fights?

Good catch. I didn't think of him immediately, but it could be him.

My first thought was Juan Manuel Marquez or Hopkins for wars and tough fights, respectively.

Holyfield and Morales are good additions.

Margaritio has had a few tough ones. Cotto, sure.

Morales, hell yes.

 

Marquez - Diaz x2, Pacquiao x2, Katsidis, Barrera, Casamayor, Salido, Sánchez ...
Morales - Barrera x3, Pac x3, Maidana, McCullough, ...
Barrera - Morales x3, Pac x2, Marquez, Juarez x2, McKinney, ....
Pacquiao - Barrera x2, Marquez x2, Morales x3, Cotto, Sanchez, ....
Rafa Marquez - Vasquez x3, Johnson, Lopez...
Vasquez - Rafa Marquez x3, Gonzalez, Larios, ...
Salido - Lopez, Gamboa, Marquez, Guerrero
Cotto - Judah, Pac, Margarito, Torres, Mayorga
Arce - over 10
Williams - Margarito, Lora, Martinez, Quintana,
De La Hoya - Mosley x2, Quartey, Vargas











and a few more...

 

Atleast deserves a mention, Margarito - Mosley, Pacquiao, P. Williams, Cotto, Clottey

I wouldn't count the Pac, and Mosley fight as wars for both fighters, but I guess they are for Margarito, But then, you'd have to include all the fights where a fighter has gotten beat to the ground, Gatti, Corrales, Ward and a few others would be ahead.

 

You would, but two of those guys are dead, Ward is retired. I know, I missed the 'active' part in the heading aswell. Gatti was the first one that came to my mind.

 

Katsidis

 

True, what I meant is, If beat downs count, then many defeated fighters would be up there, Taylor, Castillo...
