Name a current boxer who fights with pure love for the sport. Do we have any pro boxers these days that fight for the thrill of fighting?
I'm VERY interested in all your opinions.

actually to answer Kel's question accuratley and seriously the answer is Evander Holyfield. all jokes aside he depicts truly what kel's asking. no longer gets the highest purses in boxing history not even a mere fraction, yet he still fights on despite that, and health risks, and everyone including on this forum clowning him.
I haven't said anything about Holyfield..... I don't watch much heavywieght fighting that isn't for belts.....hell they are bad enough. But oyu are right Pd4Pd. CC
Probably not someone you would expect but I reckon James Toney is one of those guys.
I mean he's approaching 40, has had over 85 FIGHTS! which is completely unheard of for a modern fighter outside of South America and other less developed countries.
I cant think of a single other fighter from North America or Europe who has had as many fights as him and still performs at the highest level.
He can't need the money so it seems the guy just loves to fight.
If only he could learn to love train as well, he could have been one of the best ever :P
Duran has to be another example. Remember he only retired in 2002 after a car crash!
I almost mentioned Evander in my initial post for that very reason but I did not want people to answer to my post and have the whole thread based on Holyfield. CCQuote:
