    Only Fighters In The Game Right Now With The Old School Fighters Mentality (fight anyone, anywhere, anytime... no matter what)

    that i can think of are Paul Williams & Antonio Margarito (cheating or not) Cotto is pretty good, Paulie Malignaggi (dude has balls no matter what you say)...

    im sure im missing some but you can add the rest

    Margarito only decided to fight Williams after he was threatened with litigation and then wanted nothing to do with a rematch. Cotto simply does what he's told, so I guess he kind of has that mentality. Paulie is desparate for a paycheck, and Williams talks about how avoided he is and then dismisses good fighters that he deems aren't up to his standards.

    Wasn't keen to rematch Jones at 168...maybe it was the weight issue though, to be fair.

    I agree with the Williams shout. I'd also give JM Marquez the nod inspite of the Pacquiao debicle (first time they tried to sort the rematch).

    Vasquez?

    he definitely comes to mind, but a lot of people say he's "ducking" williams right now... i still think he's got that old school mentality.

    b-hop is definitely one. although once again a lot of people say he's just fought the smaller fighter his whole career. wanting to fight adamek kind of proves differently.

    Most fighter's though who are trying to crack into the top level, or are high-risk low-reward type fighters, will take any fight going
