    Fighters In Recent History Who Gave Concession In Order To Secure Huge Fight!

    Now in order to be great you have to go out their and take it cause waiting around hoping for someone to hand it to you or give you the opportunity is a suckers move.

    List all fighters who in recent times made concessions* to get the shot they wanted.



    Canelo yielded to Mayweather 152lb demand for his shot

    Dawson Went down to 168 for his shot at ward.

    Ward moved up to 175 for his shot at p4p #1

    Maidana yielded to Mayweather demand of no MX gloves

    Mayweather Jumped up 1 Weight Class for His shot At Oscar and yeilded to all oscar demands.

    Pacquaio jumped up 2 weight classes for his shot at Oscar.

    Rosado Jumped up a weight class for his shot at 160 title against ggg.

    Brook jumped up 2 weight classes for his shot at greatness and the 160 title aginst ggg

    Khan jumped up 1 weight class for his shot against Canelo.


    All these fighters dared to be great, none of them waited around hoping they get the fight with all the advantages on their side against the A side if they did they would have never got the fights they wanted.


    Please list some more.

          A LOT of cruisers have compromised their ideal weight and moved to HW to pursue bigger fights.

          Cotto cut weight for Pac.

              ...but there was no rehydration clause.

              Geale got it all back and then some.

                The people who "dared to be great" are 2-6 on your list lmao

                Maybe Canelo should dare to be great again because last time Mayweather made him look like a ****ing idiot trying to box with him
