    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.

    vs Bobby Chacon
    vs Shig Fukuyama
    vs Ruben Olivares
    vs Juan Malvarez
    vs Mike Ayala
