Which fighters today, above all else, want to prove they're the best?

pacman and cotto.

 

Kessler, hands down.

 

:roll:

 

If there's anybody it should be Pavlik. After Miranda he is going straight to Taylor . . . and despite the money offer not being good he accepted the fight because all he wanted is to prove himself. He said he'll fight Sturm and Abraham before he moves up and fight Calzaghe if he's still around.

Can there be any better than that?

 

Mikkel Kessler
and what I've heard from Kelly Pavlik.

Guys like Pacquiao/Cotto are willing to face anyone but leave it too much in the hands of their promoters.

 

Pavlik
Cotto
Margarito (even though he lost he always wanted anybody it appeared)
Diaconu
Doniare

 

Evander Holyfield
Bernard Hopkins

 

Casamayor
Kessler
Pacquiao
Juan Diaz (only problem is that DKP promotes him, but Diaz-Casamayor WILL happen once Diaz unifies)
Juan Manuel Marquez

 

Maybe JMM wants to but his promoters don't. JMM is notorious for choosing the incorrect opposition.

 

Well after 30 easy fights and one hard fight(on paper) I don't think he needed two more easy fights.

 

This could be the worst post I ever read.

 

The best name on his resume is Rico Hoye wow.

 

Probably because you're a ****ing moron.

The intial post says which fighters want to prove themselves. not including money or anything like that. Now, in Taylors post fight interview after the Spinks fight, he even admitted he would fight anyone who would offer the most money.

Regardless of who he is actually fighting, he is doing it for money, which is exactly what the riginal post said not to include.

If it's the Wlad part, he's the only heavyweight to make serious attempts to fight the best fighters and unify. He wanted Briggs and Maskaev. It's obvious he is the best heavyweight for wanting the best opposition. Sam Peter is the only other one up there.
