are there any american fighters who are warriors??

[TRUE WARRIOR]

And even if Gatti was still fighting, he's Canadian born even though he resides in New Jersey I think. Wouldn't that make him a Canadian warrior at heart?

your right. i dont think there are any american warriors at all. maybe lacy. the guy who said malinagii is a warrior is an idiot. that guy is afraid to go toe to toe but at least he didnt quit against cotto. he has heart. im talking about guys who will go toe to toe and back down from no one.

Lacy too but whats so funny about Taylor, never seen him layoff anyone, always aggressive comming forward and throwing, showed heart againts Bernard ande Wright. Can't wait for Pavlik/taylor.

ya taylor looked like a real warrior against spinks and ouma.

Holyfield is most definitely a warrior. Pavlik looks like he has the makings of being a warrior. Juan Diaz doesn't go backwards a lot - its just that the dominant style in the US is stick and move and variants.

I'll give Taylor credit for his performances against Hopkins and Wright. since then however he seems to rather fight lesser opponets, and smaller guys moving up in weight. He had the opportunity to knockout both Ouma and Spinks, especially Spinks. Yet he couldn't find the heart to throw an average of more than 9 punches per round.

Win, lose, or draw. Kelly Pavlik is going to make Jermain Taylor reach inside of his gut to find out what's really there. Then I'll know fo rsure if he's a warrior or not.

And I'm sorry but no current American fighter has earned the right to be called a warrior. Not in the way that a Marco Antonio Barrera, or Erik Morales has anyway.

citizenship is a peice of paper, he was born in canada, hes canadian

I though he was born in italy? Anyway, you may be right.

I must concur. Taylor, Mosley, De La Hoya and Holyfield, while entertaining are not my definition of "warrior". Pavlik is too early to tell but I certainly believe he will show a lot of people what he's made of come 9/29. Lacy is a warrior because he could've easily quit on his stool anytime he wanted to but didn't. He took the beating as long as he had to, like a real man.

It's just too bad he'll probably never be the same because of it.

Holyfield is definitely a warrior and showed it againts Bowe with heart problems he wouldnt quit and don't think its in his vocabulary so is the word fear. When did Mosely ever show otherwise.

LOL my ass..........


Jeff Lacy is a warrior........

Hah seriously. I believe Gatti is a Canuck who was born in Italy as well.

I'd say that James Toney, Jeff Lacy, Mickey Ward, Diego Corrales(rip), Lamon Brewster, Vinny Maddalone, Leavander Johnson(rip) fit the bill.

I was dissappointed with him againts Spinks but Corey will make anyone look bad. Againts Ouma, the dude just woulnt go down. I think Taylor is one of em that still needs to proove himself but I see it in him.
