    Abner Mares atm fills both categories.
    He fought everyone available until Gonzales stopped him.
    He backed up from a rematch, there were talks of him facing Miura but he suddenly backed out of that match too.
    Now he is facing his second consecutive opponent who is coming off a loss.(the second time in Mares career this is happening)

    Bradley and Hopkins seem to go for the most dangerous fights available. Wilder is by far the most over protected boxer out there today, possible the most protected of all time.

    Nice list, but who has really called out Wilder making it worth his bother???:huh:huh:huh And before the Stiverne fight, he was ALL risk, NO reward.

    And as for Fury being willing to fight anyone....I seem to remember his telling David Price that he'd fight him once one or the other held the HW World Title, but not before.:rofl

    And before the Chisora vs Wilder bout was axed, Wilder actually DID have visa issues do to choking a pro for trying to take his watch as a tip for her services. It's a 2K/hr Vegas pro, and they EXPECT heavy hitters to tip well. Wilder was being a cheapskate so she took it upon herself to give herself a 5K tip and Wilder gave her a choking for her initiation.
    She's since been paid to go away, alls she was after in the first place, all was forgiven, LEGALLY, and Wilder made camp for Haye.:good

    Glen Johnson deserves a mention here, he fought his opponents in their hometown regardless of location

    He got a title shot by fighting cans so bad my grandma could knock them out. How is that all risk no reward?

    Froch
    Bika
    Devon Alexander
    Canelo
    Toney
    Rosado
    Bernard Hopkins

    Froch is done in heart, toney aswell even though he'd probably still take on whoever. Alexander seems up for anyone, he is like the only welterweight that wanted thurman, I think porter will take on anyone too but could be all talk.

    Gotta go with hop recently. Really had taken on everyone. Pavlik when people thought that was brave but then took on Kov. What next for the man.
