warrior, which fighters can claim that name

[BLOODSHED]

Actually, the name Warrior to me isn't an ode to talent. It means you're getting hit as much as you're throwing. Not necessarily a good nickname.

Floyd would never be called a warrior because he doesn't get hit.

warriors are fighters who slug, who brawl, who fight, who take it and come back.

marquez doesnt slug or brawl.
toney doesnt slug or brawl.
jirov doesnt take it and come back.

That's why I didn't outright call them warrios...they HAVE shown that they possess the warrior mentality though.

Jirov doesn't take it and come back? Wow you haven't seen much Jirov have ya?

Oh so you MUST come back to win by KO? I'm sorry I didn't know you wrote the book on the term warrior and all things that it stands for.

Funny, this list has a bunch of guys who haven't taken bad beating only to come back to win by KO.

Prime example being Juan Manuel Marquez. Dude was dropped 3 times in the first round against Pacquiao and got up every time, giving Pacquiao as good as he got for the next 11 rounds. 3 KDs in one round is a serious confidence killer.

But after the 3 Knockdowns...he outpriced himself everytime a world class fighter is put in front of him. (i.e. Pacquiao and Morales) It was indeed a confidence killer.

that goes down as one of the dumbest posts in the entire sad history of posts.

I think a warrior is someone who goes through great adversity battles back with everything he has and leaves nothing in the ring JMM not included

[ChrististheAnswer2]

All fighters are warriors in a sense, but some are more gutty than others.

Think about it, they go out there where you are getting hit in the head, the stomach, and putting there lives on the line for our entertainment.

Morales has never taken a bad beating to come back and KO his opponent (which IS the requirement a wrrior must possess according to you)...I've followed his whole career too. Now I know hes a warrior, but going by your assinine logic he doesn't fit the bill.

Tony Margarito has never taken a bad beating only to come back and KO his opponent...unless you're referring to the Antonio Diaz fight (which was VERY even throughout).

Hatton has never been taking a bad beating only to come back and knock out an opponent. He's pretty much dominated most of the fights hes been in before knocking out his opponents.

Basically I'm gonna be an ass and nitpick you're views...much like you've done mine.
