        how does this even make sense? Just watch the Bradley vs Provodnikov fight. Bradley was out on his feet and probably suffered a concussion early in the fight but kept going.

            For guys like Bradley and Malignaggi...they have minimal power but they are willing to die in the ring. It's much harder for them because they can't depend on their punching power....only their will power to keep going.
            I have agree guys with no pop are even braver, because they can't keep guys off them so they are basically fighting off survival.

            Malignaggi and Bradley really have to fight heir heart out because they dont have power to keep guys honest. Imagine if you were in their shoes? that is scary as hell to be in against a pressure fighter with power and you have none you have to keep throwing has hard as you can and many times just to keep them off and hope they tire out from trying to knock you out.

              Robert Guererro maybe?
              Juan Manuel Marquez - I can't believe some of the punishment this guy has taken in the ring.
              You must not know much about Guererro's career.

                Id have to add Bradley to that list as well. His display to stay alive in his last fight with Prov was a nothing more than a blue print of someone digging down and letting it all go. Do or die! Id have to see more on Prov too. He could be up for it to

                  Yep. I was there at the HP Pavillion when he fought a little named fighter named Yordan. The 1st round looked like Guerrero had no idea how to fight this guy then the cut happened and it basically looked like he took the easy way out and quit.

                      Paulie is so damn tough. Jesus Christ that guy can take some serious pain. I have a ton of respect for Paulie.
