Durable Fighters

[SlimTrae]

Orlando Salido has my vote.
Knocked out or stopped about 4 times in his first three years.

60 + fights later and he is still banging with young guns.
Gamboa, Junanma, Lomanchenko, Garcia and most recent Francisco Vargas.


Hasn't slowed yet. Never heard him speak, does he slur? Or his speech is fine?
43-13-4
Salido= Durable.
Old school James Toney was durable for close to 20 years. Fell off around S Peter
69-5-3.
Up till then JT= Durable.

Hmm, i wanna say:

-Juan Manuel Marquez considering length of his career, the pacquiao wars and that hes gone up in weight too. Only now is the rusty wheel getting him.

- Bradley - considering who hes been in with and the punishment get took

- by association, does that mean Provo makes the list?

- Kessler

- Mickey Ward?

- Jesse james leija

- Id say corley but he's kind of just getting walked down these days unless he takes an extreme softy.

- Gotta put holyfield in there.

Or is this for only current fighters?

Randal Tex Cobb shit a tough guy remember Larry Holmes hitting him for fun,! Never moved him remember Larry saying his hand were sore hitting him, and Cobb say let's do it again now after the fight.

Far back to prove ya point.

My criteria would include JMM for sure 23 years 64 fights in the game is ridiculous!!. Not Bradley. 12 years 35+ fights is standard career.

Old school, Holy all day long!

They just ain't durable like the old school. Salido in that sense...is a throwback fighter. Not so much skillwise, but durability.

Roberto Duran would still be fighting if he did not have that car accident. He has freakish genes where he did not bleed, bruise or lose his desire to fight.

Hopkins and Hagler come to mind. Philly fighters are tough S.O.B's.

The only legend that could get away with that fight.

[SlimTrae]

Amazingly I haven't seen any of his hundreds of fights. Losses and all, Reggie Strickland had to have an enduring spirit to have so many fights.

A dozen replies and no mention of LaMotta.

Durable in the ring and in life.

I saw Jake Lamotta around 2012 I think...As he was being wheeled into Grazi's Pub (Rocky Graziano) he was throwing punches at everybody's nuts! Funny stuff.
