    Floyd Mayweather

    He's a true warrior and would fight bare knuckles if they let him.

    Ali of course, he loved his time in the limelight. The ring was his stage.

    Are you being sarcastic? He even wouldn't let Maidana wear his own gloves.

    Is the OP saying fighting as in a good ol brawl, or boxing in general? I'm thinking in terms of a good old scrap. I forgot to mention Hatton, he liked a good brawl.

    Pacquiao used to love fighting, same as early Tyson, but I think he's lost the heart for it. Rios loves to bang. Golovkin seems to. Duran and Toney are almost pathological cases. Duran had about a hundred and twenty fights and Toney had about 80. Meanwhile, Toney didn't like to do any training besides sparring.

    truth hurts little ***** ass punks like you I see.

    do you really think mid 30's men try and act like little school girls on purpose ???

    pac is a very nervous kid when in the ring and especially in interviews. the idiot boxing clown talks like he is part of every fighters camps when I bet my life he has never even spoken with ANY of them.

    ya he is NEVER nervous, every pro athlete gets nervous, every human. if one did not get nervous he/she/it wouldn't be human
