    By this i'm not talking purse split.

    Who are real fighters who you would never hear complaining about gloves, ring size, weight etc. They Just would get in the ring and fight.
    There wouldnt be fights not being made because they cant decide who enters the ring 1st, or what ref is in the ring with them, or what gloves they wear. FIghters who would be discusted by todays antics!

    They just wanted to fight,

    The obvious ones are Mike Tyson and Marvin Hagler.

    Who else? With Stories to show there G-Ness.

    I can't imagine Brits like Froch or Chisora arguing about trivial stuff like this in contracts

    Mike Tyson and Derek Chisora both came into the ring at points in their career extremely out of shape and showed a clear lack of dedication. I'd deem it unfair to declare someone who works their ass off 365 not a real fighter because they feel they've earned the right to come in second.

    Tyson and his team also complained about the choice of referee for Holyfield II, for good reasons, and insured it was Mills Lane.

    Also I think you will find a lot of the fighters who don't complain about 'technicalities' are the ones who haven't 'earned' the fight to call the shots.

    If you are the number 1 HW in the world and the bigger draw, you are going to decide what's what.

    That's life.

    I'm more interested in how they comport themselves while in the ring.

    i do agree with that.

    once your at the top, fighters change and call the shots. there have been very few true G's who once th3ey get to the top, they don't change and they keep the fighters mentality.

    Mosley in a way. when he beat oscar and was top of the world he could have gone an easier route. but kept the fighting spitrit (Although he may have been juicing)

    James Toney seemed to have it even when he was at the top.

    And pre prison tyson. He was that good and confident i bet he didn't give a crap.

    Most fighters who are in the position to dictate the technicalities do . . . most of the time we do not hear about what was agreed to because it happens behind the scenes. Its the way things go in boxing
