    Who are some all-action fighters that you can think of that's been involved in at least 5 or more grueling fights? Basically fighters that were similar to Gatti, who has been in 5 tough fights such as Ruelas, Rodriguez, Robinson 1, Ward 1 & 3.

    Probably easy to think of a fighter that's generally exciting to watch but also hard to think of 5 fights or more right off the bat.

    Among active fighters I feel the closest you will get would be:
    Juan Francisco Estrada
    Srisaket
    Roman Gonzalez
    Kazuto Ioka

    Man, all those poor folks that dont watch "little people fights," as they say. Missing well over half the fun.

    I started to list their 5 fights but then in each case I found myself going and going. Suffice to say almost all of the fights of Michael Katsidis, Juan Diaz and Ruslan Provodnikov fit this bill.
