Let's say you had to make a choice between having the career of Arturo Gatti or Bernard Hopkins.
Gatti, although nowhere near Bhop in talent, is universally loved for his ability to take punishment and keep coming. He picked himself up off the canvas so many times in his career that he was able to become a millionare on basically guts alone. But, he got hit and he got hit alot and there's no telling what lies ahead for the man health wise.
or
Bhop is not even close to being as exciting as Gatti and as such is nowhere near as popular. He has accomplished much more in his career, but even when he was defending his belt 20 some times the public never really knew who he was. But, he has never taken a beating and he has a better chance to live a relatively healthy life than that of Gatti.
So, which career would you rather have? Beloved by all but in multiple wars or hated by most without having ever sustained a beating.
