Do boxers fight for fans?

[Fenster]

just to add to that in all his early fights I hadnt seen him ever hurt at all

he went down against Magee but wasnt hurt

Look closer.

He was hurt by some Costa Rican fella in the first round of their fight. He was badly hurt (by his own admission) by Vince Phillips and he was hurt by Ben Tackie (again by his own admission). He spent the second half of the Collazo fight on queer street aswell. Mayweather knocked him out, Lazcano rocked him and then Pacquaio nearly killed him

Magee definitely hurt him in that fight. Don't think it was in the same round as the knockdown though.

In summary, he never had a great chin.

He had a solid world-class chin though. He was never Wayne McCullough or Oliver McCall, but with his come forward style you are guaranteed to get HIT. Hard.

Much better fighters than him have suffered KO's.
