Let's Be Honest: Fighters With Old School Mentality...

Oscar fought the best no matter what.
Early in his career when it wasn't all about money:Jorge Paez,Jhon Molina(verry dangeorus at that time),Rafael Ruelas,Genaro Hernanadez(32-0,at the time),Julio Cesar Chavez x2,Ike Quartey(high risk fight),Oba Carr.
Later in his career when he was the main draw:Felix Trinidad,Shane Mosley x2,Fernando Vargas,Hopkins,Ricardo Mayorga,Floyd Mayweather jr., PAC

 

sorry only active fighters. Katsidis is one and he will continue to be

 

B-HOP and De La Hoya.

 

margacheato had plasters , so , why not.
about paul , lets put him together with the klitschkos and dawson (here - i added some) and again - you got the reason.
about cotto - yes , no excuses.
malignaggi - probably yes.
tarver didn't duck nobody from what i know - and deserves much respect for the dawson fights - no excuses in these fights.
about mosley , wright - i don't know , i read that mosley ducked margacheato years before their fight and also ducked floyd , but i don't know. i also read about wright pricing himself out - but , what can you say against him after his last 4 fights - remember - jermain was all wins upon meeting him.

 

Definitely Katsidis.. good call dude. I also gotta go with Nate Campbell.

 

:good

 

james toney.

 

Emmanual Augustus... regardless of his record, that dude is the epitomy of old school mentallity.

 

Shane Mosley
Paul Williams
Miguel Cotto
Juan Manuel Marquez
Bernard Hopkins
Carl Froch
Winky Wright
Oscar De La Hoya

 

PAC from 130 down...

I do understand the opportunities that are now being presented to him, so no need to hate on how he chooses (wisely) his fights now.


Baldomir also comes to mind.

 

Jermain Taylor

 

That pretty much covers up the list of current fighters who have that ol'skool mentality of fighting the best opposition available.

 

Good call on Jermain. It's a bit ironic that he is in the super six, and viewed as a long shot, but if these other cats had JT's resume', they would all have 5 or 6 losses!

 

of the last decade number 1 was arturo,no doubt


also shane,izzy,jmm,morales to name a few

 

They would have three losses at best. The other five fighters in the tourney would'nt lose to the likes of Ouma,Spinks,Joppy,Solimon, but against Hopkins,Winky and most likely Pavlik yeah they would have most likely loss,some of them that is.

But overall Taylor is a big time candidate of someone who does'nt back down from a challenge
