    Seriously, the man is always seeking out the best!

    Is there a braver warrior who consistently seeks great challenges the way he has throughout his career?

    GO SHANE!!!!!!!!!!!

    :hh

    I was seriously thinking about this the other day after rewatching DLH vs Mosley 1 (one of my fave fights).

    I can only imagine if someone like Floyd had fought Shane's resume what would happen. I think we all know :)

    You dont think so ?

    I personally think Forrest would be an absolute nightmare for Floyd. A 6ft tall fighter with an excellent jab ?

    I think in all fairness...as much as it pains me to say....Pacquiao aside, DLH is probably the bravest fighter the sport has seen in recent years. Took more chances than Mosely and fought better competition. I mean fighting Hopkin's at 160, Trinidad, Mosely....his resume speaks for itself. But Mosely has a lot more balls than Gayweather. I guaruantee Floyd would have a couple losses on his record if he sought out challenges like Oscar and Shane did.

    No that goes to Oscar De la Hoya for taking on all comers from every division

    He has a good argument, especially if he fights Margarito in Jan.

    One of the bravest. No question about that. Still, it would be hard to beat De La Hoya in this category. The guy has stones, regardless of anything else about him.

    Oscar waits until he has all the advantages and then fights them. It's smart but it's not brave.
