    Probably a bunch of the Mexican fighters... Floyd Mayweather too, for sure. What do you think?

    Yeah, Haye probably would fight Wlad for nothing.

    No, it's simply reasonable.

    It's the real world, not Rocky IV.

    None. Fighters who offer to fight for nothing or in a "winner takes all" fight are just bluffing or trying to generate publicity.

    Name the last fighter to actually do either of one of those two things.......

    Froch is taking hard fights because they pay well, not for the fun of it.
