Fighters who'd rather die than quit

Can’t speak to his later career, but prime Mayorga. Oscar and Tito would’ve killed him without a ref, as Mayorga would’ve kept getting up and coming back for more hoping to lane that one punch. One tough SOB.

 

I take it you must not like fighters such as Henry Armstrong, Joe Frazier, Jeff Fenech, Aaron Pryor, Roman Gonzalez? Those guys constantly came forward throwing lots of punches and weren't known for defense.

 

Porter

 

To be honest none of them are on my list of favorite fighters, but I certainly wouldn't include Ruslan Provodnikov in any conversation with those fighters.

Can't really speak for Armstrong, I haven't really seen much film of him, only heard descriptions

 

I was lucky enough to see Mayorga fight at the MGM. He was well past his best days, it was against Miguel Cotto, but he still put on a hell of a show and had the crowd jumping with his antics!

 

I get what you're saying, was just wondering. It's all personal preference when it comes to certain styles in boxing. I'm usually open minded and appreciate all styles of boxing, even the crude wild sluggers or very negative, spoiler types.

 

Yeah I like the more technical guys . About the closest thing to a "slugger" I enjoy would be Tyson, but I don't really consider him a slugger, he always seemed very methodical to me .

Ironically, my favorite fighter is Ricardo Mayorga, a real man's slugger....but his antics go a long way

 

The winner!!

 

His fight with Tim Bradly gave me a new found respect for TIMMY

 

Ali Raymi

The man just didn't want to quit, Saudis had to kill him with an air strike!

 

Diego Corrales would be #1 for me.

 

Honestly, and I am nowhere near a fan of his but Wilder. Whoever other than Fury beats him is gonna really have to plant him into the ground because he's not gonna stop trying to hail mary them unless they detach him from his senses.

Watch the tape of the fight , bell rings to end round Cotto was exhausted slunk back to his corner Margarito stood & stared at him beating his chest. Only then did that NY doc stop the fight. Tony had not been able to see out of that eye since round 2 & the doc knew it. Why didn't he stop the fight sooner , he didn't care about Tony's eye. It was going to be a repeat of fight 1 Cotto was done & ready to quit on his knees AGAIN!!!!. That fight was stopped to save Cotto the embarrassment of QUITTING AGAIN!!! NOT to save Tony's eye

 

I was right there saw it all That's why I know why the fight was stopped to save cowardly Cotto. NOT Margarito
You say Cottos face proved he had loaded gloves to you. Look at his face in fight 2 was getting beat up bad again Look at Cottos face after Pac finished with him worse the Margarito did
Antonio NEVER EVER had loaded gloves for any fight The wraps for the debacle with juiced up Mosely were tested by an independant lab & found to be HARMLESS!!. A crazy mistake by Capetillo putting a used pad in the wrap instead of a new one, plus the blatant lie from Richardson saying he saw plaster blocks fall from the wraps , led the CSAC to revoke Margarito's boxing licence in Ca because they SUSPECTED he may have tried to do something to cover their butts for stupidly believing Richardson
What happened to the law A man is deemed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law? Margarito never had a trial , he was railroaded by the CSAC to save their own embarrassment resulting in an innocent mans good name & livelihood being destroyed & tarnished based on a lie
