Who Out Of These Guys Had The Biggest Balls?

Mosley did some crazy things.

goes up 2 weight classes and fights de la hoya at 147, who had around a dozen fights at 147 at that point.

loses 10 of 12 rounds to forrest, then fights an immediate rematch.

doesn't win a fight for over 2 years and moves up to rematch dlh at 154.

fights winky wright, and loses 9-10 rounds.

immediate rematch with winky.

 

Balls.......and bad business savvy! Except for the DLH fights.

 

This poll also could've had Diego Chico Corrales. R.I.P.

Holyfield too. Who else fought Tyson, Bowe, and Lewis?

What about El Terible?

**** a lot of fighters could be on the list. This is a great topic.

 

i chose mosley. taking on forrest and winky then rematching them after his initial losses. shows some nice balls and a lot of heart, atleast outside of the ring. mosley does seem to get very discouraged sometimes though.

 

James Toney took more chances than any of these people.

 

Hopkins showed more guts in throwing the PR flag down in San Juan than he did in choosing whom he fought.

Or maybe that's just insanity.

to show you how great robinson was, he turned pro at 135 and beat the lw champ in a non-title bout before he was a welterweight.

 

i voted for Hopkins because of how he fought the system in the sport. He burned more bridges than any fighter in our generation, but kept getting paid by continuing to win and running his mouth. Dibella, Don King, Arum...all wouldn't work for him. He committed career suicide and still makes a pretty living.

Shane gets my vote for challenging opposition. Oscar would be up there but he wears panties.

 

Exactly. Everyone seems to only follow the sport for 3 years and thinks Hopkins played it safe his whole career. And even in the last 3 years the Tarver fight he was supposed to get destroyed.

 

Mosely was an ATG amateur, WHO ARE YOU KIDDING? Mosely got just as much if not MORE exposure than Mayweather. Mosely had a 250-10 amateur record.

 

Erik Morales would be a step above any of these guys...

 

Shane for the same reasons everyone else mentioned. Went toe to toe with and beat prime DLH after jumping up 2 weight classes. Always went for immidiate rematches. Fought Winky when nobody else would do it. Always comes to win I've never seen him content to coast to a decision he is always looking to make it clear who the winner is.

 

DLH fo sho.

 

Tito and Mosley. Of all the guys on the list Tito was never surrounded by controversies about picking opponents or running from them, never.

 

Shane Mosley

 

this is a man that chose to continue boxing after being rewarded a victory based on DQ. spent time in prison for mugging people. apprently his first day in fail he knocked the **** out of the toughest guy there. hopkins has balls. doesn't seem like he does now but i would say fighting tarver, wright, and calling calzaghe out at +40 is pretty ballsy. especially how tarver, wright, and calzaghe looked before their fights with hopkins.

hopkins shows balls in the ring and in the gym.
