    What makes a fighter great?

    What in your opinion would u consider to make a fighter great?
    Is it being a champion for a long time?

    Or beating great opponents.


    If a fighter loses badly to a huge underdog, than avenges that loss in style, has their status elavated to great?
    Or has their status been forever tainted by the loss?

    beating great opponents, beating up club fighters and bums for 20 years doesn't make someone great, just careful

          I think the four things that make a fighter great would have to be

          1. Actually fighting, being a warrior and having a war with the biggest baddest guy out there.

          2. Dedication, hardwork, training hard.

          3. Being fearless and having a good sportsmanship.

          4. And not being afraid to lose by fighting the best at your best.

              bernard hopkins is considered by many to be the greatest fighter since sugar ray leonard, and for a decade he defended his title against no-names. except for trinidad and dlh.

                a champion gets up when he cant.

                a champion pulls out a victory in the pits of defeat.

                a champion shows the same intensity in the first and last rounds.

                a champion can lose, but refuses not to

                  hops beat up joppy when he was still good, antwon echols when he looked like he was gonna be a prospect, he ****ed up robert allen. these guys were good fighters at the time when hops beat them...and last, but not least, he shut ET's bubble gum lips for good

                    for me its - the ability to stay at top for a long enough time.
                    - the balls to get back up and fight on after a big KD
                    - the attitude to work hard enough and not be an ass
                    - the endurance and heart to pull victories outa the worst situation
