    Duk Koo Kim (January 8, 1959 – November 17, 1982)

    Live or Die = WARRIOR.


    'Kim was lightly regarded by the American boxing establishment.[4] Kim struggled to lose weight on the days prior to the bout so that he could weigh in under the lightweight's 135-pound limit. Prophetically, he wrote the message "live or die" on his Las Vegas hotel lamp shade only days before the bout (Kim wrote "live or die" but a mistaken translation led to "kill or be killed" being reported in the media). He even had a mini-coffin brought to his hotel room.'

  3. marquez and vasquez.
    Just finished watching the trilogy again. Those men are warriors, there is few more pure examples of the term than those 3 fights.

    Wtf? In his prime he was indeed 'the real deal' theres too much about him that makes him a warrior that i cant be bothered to list it. Watch the bowe trilogy to start with!

    Surprised that no one mentioned Timothy Bradley yet. He has shown that he has the heart of a warrior and comes to fight. He kept coming forward against the dangerous and bigger Holt and when he smelt blood against Campbell, he brought it.

    Ali v Frazier Thrilla in Manilla. Two warriors, at the end of round 14 it really shows how much they gave, they put everything into that night, especially in that stifling heat.

    i think no one has mentioned yet the galaxxy warrior. maybe because of his last fight.
