Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
Angulo should be up there as well, even though Kirkland got the better of him.
Kirkland should win this hands down me thinks.

Agree. Kirkland fights like his literal life depends on it. More so knowing what its like to be exposed, whipped and to fall from the ivory tower.
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
I think Kirkland is a good call. The loss to Ishida seemed to only make him more desperate against Angulo when he was in spots of trouble, it seems he doesn't know how to fight without urgency and it's fun to watch. Rios and Margarito are hard as nails but don't quite have the same tenacity or raw athletecism.
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
Ferocious would be someone who opponents fear to fight. I doubt very much that any top fighters fear Kirkland after seeing him get splattered by a non punvher in the first and then getting dropped and almost stopped by another non puncher that Cintron beat...
Whereas Rios can go and go and take anything dished out.

Your right.
Truth be told I wanted to put Mayorga on the list ! ;D;)
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
I'm betting Angulo and his people watched that Ishida fight a few times too
I'd fear what Kirkland instantly comes back with knowing that he's proven he can come back from the brink a few times and defeat.

Ferocity is down to the individual fighters approach, by definition it has nothing to do with how they are perceived by opponents. You fail as usual.

Ok, getting dropped and knocked out by weak opponents is ferocious...
Yes, Mayorga was ferocious! He threw almost every punch as though he was trying to smash the front door of his house as it burning with his family in it!
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
I voted Rios because he throws every punch with the intent to do real damage.
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
Well it looks like the only way to settle this is to have Kirkland and Rios fight each other. ;)
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
As good as these lot are, they are no Tyson or Nigel Benn.

Benn was at times rocked and hurt by not so huge bangers to start he can't be considered "ferocious" ;D
even though he was trying to rip off heads and shate down necks early on!
Re: Who is the most ferocious fighter today ?
Definitely Rios. Kirkland did a nice job in his fight with Alfredo, but watching a zombie-like weight drained Rios pound the shit out of a well trained guy who could have done nothing to save himself was a wake up call for me.
