I have been thinking about making this thread for quite a while and the way I'd like to set it going is by starting by saying the first man who comes to mind when I think of a fighter who was most dangerous when hurt is Marco Antonio Barrera. Here is a piece of evidence to back that up.

Can anyone else come up with a fighter that had this quality and a bit of proof i.e. a video clip or a detailed report?
Nigel Benn.
Evidence

um. Hamed v Augie Sanchez.
Beat me to it. Benn was often wobbled and hurt, but when he was he threw everything at his opponents. Good examples are the Barkley and McClellan fights.Quote:

Think... wounded animal;D
That Logan turn around was the nuts!!:cool:
Calzaghi and that german bloke cant think of his name but when i do ill post it;D
Holyfield was nearly out in round 10 vs Bowe and then recovered to almost
KO Bowe.

Gatti
Hitting Bhop on the chin in his prime was always a bad move and more often than not led to you getting 4 times more back in return
Holyfield always struck me as the kind of guy who needed to take a few just to wake him up
Morales, anytime someone rocked him even the slightest bit, he'd return with a barrage of shots, did it in Barrera I & III, Pacquiao I & II, Chavez, Hernandez, Kelly, etc.
Matthew Saad Muhammad
Arturo Gatti
Evander Holyfield
Nigel Benn
Kevin Kelley
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Juan Manuel Marquez
Manny Pacquiao
Diego Corrales
Felix Trinidad
Naseem Hamed
Julian Letterlough
Julian Jackson
Larry Holmes
Joe Frazier
Iran Barkley
Rocky Marciano
Marquez sticks out, & although he was never really hurt, as soon as someone got Marvin Hagler with a big shot or cut him, he would get really mad.
Juan Manuel Marquez and Diego Corrales came to mind. Diego particularly for the castillo fight.
See thats why i didn't list Marvin Hagler or Julio Cesar Chavez, because i could never really tell when they were hurt. I can only think of a few occasions when they actually looked hurt in there prime.Quote:

naseem hamed???
only time he was ever properly hurt in his entire career he pussied out of the fight and never fought again!
if your gonna throw names like that how about audley harrison? ;D;D;D
The knock down where he gets up and tries to attack the other fighter before the ref starts the count is priceless. Sheer anger, hardness and psychosis rolled into one.Quote:

Naseem Hamed was knocked down and stunned many times in his career. What made him exciting is that he had the power, to change a fight around with 1 punch.Quote:

Edwin Rosario :shinner:
Vincent Pettway
Michael Carbajal
O'neil Bell
Luisito Espinosa
Terry Norris
Andrew Golota....not so much for his fistic return but when rocked ya might get headbutted,Bit,Pee'd on etc
Tomas Adamek
I don't know about his most dangerous, but Ray Leonard could really raise the level of his game when the chips were down.
Edwin Rosario coming back against Howard Davis Jr, was one of the best final round comebacks i've ever seen.Quote:

he may not be an all-time great but for my money iv never seen a guy as dangerous as nigel benn when hes backed up to the ropes. logan, deWitt, eubanks, mcClelland are just off the top of my head
Don't know about being 'hurt' though... the guy was very chinny and was susceptible to flash knockdowns.Quote:

In the Migabi fight everytime Marvin ate big shots he fired back like a machine

As already mentioned, Evander Holyfield. one of my favorite clips against Moorer, Bobby Chez was talking about how some fighters are anothers silverbulle and just as he says Moorer is Holyfields guy, Evander Waffles Moorer right on Que ;D
No doubt.Classic.I'd never question Moorers heart again.Looked like some scene from a George Romero film...kept rising for more;DQuote:
