    Lots of people in sport get concussions. It's not meant to warn you that you are about to die. I've had a few, I'd say the odds are good you have as well at some point in your life. Boxers will fight on trusting that they have someone in their corner who will protect them from themselves if needed. But that doesn't mean someone like Bradley was going to go until he died. I'd wager his family means more to him than sport.

      People keep saying Margarito but he wasn't **** once they found those illegal wraps and Shane Mosley rocked that chin.. Margarito looked like he didn't want to die.. and didn't fight back at all.

          None of them. And the one's who were willing to die in the ring, died in the ring.

              James Kirkland, if he wasn't such a head case he could've been a black Arturo Gatti.

                  He got his face caved in a career-ending way after they found the wraps. Margarito is one guy that was too ****** to know when it was time to stop, and would take enough punishment to place his life in danger.

                    I disagree about Paulie. He's smart enough to stop when it is time.

                      You can keep on imagining who you think was tough enough to be willing to die in the ring, but no boxer wants to die in the ring. The damage caused from punches usually goes undetected until it's too late.
