Groves and Eubank have both proved this weekend they are not only boxers and sportsmen but also subscribers to 'The Warriors Code'. Which other current active British fighters subscribe to the code?
David Deron Haye is a certified practitioner of the sacred Warrior's Code, battling on like a wounded gladiator on one leg against Bellew. Amir Khan too, the nuts on him stepping into the ring with Canelo. I'd say AJ too, exemplified the Warrior's Code in his battle with Klitschko.
I'm suspecting Saunders (and the Fury's) although he has yet to fully prove it. I would imagine any Gypsy boxer who quits would be in for some serious backlash. I'm also sticking in Martin Murray who can take a ridiculous amount of punishment and still keep coming. Kell Brook should be in there for a valiant effort against GGG but has faced major criticism from TWC ambassador Eubank Senior and his son. Chisora too has been in some wars but his Fury stool quit was questionable (sensible from his perspective but not what the code stands for)
That'll be why Usyk is one of my favourite boxers at the moment. I was supporting Wlad against AJ and will support Parker too.
I'd rule Chisora out, too obsessed with money to be a proponent of the Warrior's Code, turned down £80k to box Joyce, has shown no interest in boxing Joshua - publicly said he didn't want that fight. Another shout is Liam Smith. Loves to fight, took the rematch with Williams and won, exemplified the Code, although one could argue that the head butt in the first fight was deliberate and therefore goes against the spirit of the Warrior's Code.
Martin Murray comes to mind first of all....only GGG has had an easy night with him. Carl Thompson for yesteryear.
EH Day's Kell Brook tweeted about the warrior's code and not quitting etc having a go at Eubanks Jnr but the silly cant never realised Eubank Jnr never quit and he actually quit himself both times against elite fighters. Eubanks Jnr has a few shortcomings but I cannot question his heart and desire.
Sorry but that's a load of rubbish. You don't partake in this kind of battle if you're not a warrior This content is protected By that logic, your hero Haye is a pansy, as he pulled out several times out of fighting Fury for 5 million.
Question marks over his obvious dodge of GGG but redeemed himself by moving up in weight and entering the WBSS.
Come onnnn the white rhino fellas! The man got in with Ortiz after hardly training and badly overweight, stood up to his punches with half his tongue missing for 7 rounds Amir Khan? No way! The man never gets up after going down, literally goes to sleep!! Chisora is a warrior, will fight anyone, won't win but will fight anyone... Both groves and eubank have it, you can argue that Connor benn showed it in his last fight, albeit against a low ranked opponent... The ultimate British warriors though, benn, eubank snr, froch, hatton,
I'm a fan of Chisora in the ring but unfortunately his misdemeanours rule him out too. Beat his gf, spat water at Vitali and kissed Baker at a weigh in. These indiscretions go against the spirit of the Warrior's Code.
