Which current fighters are willing to die in the ring? aka Dead Game

[JoeKidd]

1. Margarito.
2. Rios.
3. Pacquiao.
4. Matthysse.
5. Sergio Garcia
6. Paulie


I wouldn't put Bradley with these guys because Bradley runs after his head spins. Note, you need to be a bit ****** to have this attitude. The warrior mentality shuts out the brain.

Forgot Marquez!

[Szef]

Tomasz Adamek

[WarMaidana]

Maidana is in the list

im surprised no one mentioned him.. he may not be as much as some but i'd say hes up there. I know we havent seen him in deep waters yet but id be willing to bet matthysse was like that

[hectari]

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr and Arturo Gatti easy

Chavez Sr actually quit he didn't fight his corners urges to stop the fight and seemed A okay with it.

While a guy like Antonio Margarito refused to quit with a busted orbital bone against Pacman and was smiling when Mosley was hitting him over and over with power shots.

I think even the fighters who ended up dying in the ring weren't willing to do so. If you told them halfway through the fight that they were going to die if they kept on fighting they would have stopped.

The only exception I'm aware of is Duk Koo Kim, as can be seen by what he wrote before the fight.

[Frank Ducketts]

then you would fail and then you wouldn't be able to post?

What's the question mark for moron?

I would say Margorito, Marquez, and Rios. Margorito could have easily quit against Pacquiao. I might be alone in this but I believed Pacquiao might have punched himself out when he was calling for the ref to stop it around the 9th or 10th round. Margorito kept coming forward and for a few minutes I saw a little uncomfortable look on Pacquuiao's face, but I also think that's when he put the most hurt on Margorito. That was grueling fight for both of them even though Pacquiao most definitely got the best of Margorito. With that being said, I haven't seen anything definitive about Pacquiao to say he would "die" in the ring. Marquez also could have quit in his last fight but gutted it out and got the KO. Rios is just a hard head but he would definitely leave it all in the ring. That's why I'm looking forward to his next fight.
