He may say "health comes first" but that doesn't negate the fact that he(as well as anyone else) is taking chances at death everytime he fights.

    It just goes hand in hand with fighting for a living.
    That's nice but be real there have been fighters who have quit with minimal damage (Thor Hammer lately), so it is completely false that every fighter is willing to die in the ring.

      "Willing to die"

      The *** does that even mean?

      Some are tougher and will go through more when it comes down to it in a fight but no **** is "willing to die".

        Even the smartest best defensive boxer knows he could die in there. Same goes for the dumbest most punch taking boxers. Some are just more willing than others to say that if they see it coming they would stay the course(not quit), or so they say anyways. Very few have actually proved it tho.The likes of Gatti,MickyWard,Alvarado,Rios,Gamboa and Margarito these guys all got the **** beat out of em, and kept going. I actually believe Gamboa would still be getting his ass whipped and getting up right now if the fight wouldn't have been stopped that or in a coma.

        Margarito has gotten his head nearly beat of his neck more than once and he wouldn't quit better yet kept on boxing, and came back to rematch Cotto after Pacquiao broke his face literally(karma maybe).

            Miguel Cotto told Margarito that it's a ****** way of thinking and I have to agree with him. Especially if they have a wife and children.

                I never said it wasn't but acts of bravery often are pretty ******. The Frazier who fought Ali in their first fight was ready to die in order to win.

                      It's definitely the black mamba Roger Mayweather. I could have sworn He must have died at least 3 or 4 times in the ring. YT his knockout losses, they are horrific.
