    Angulo should be up there as well, even though Kirkland got the better of him.

    Kirkland should win this hands down me thinks.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mayorga is a good call! Maybe not now but those performances against Vernon must have made his future opponents shit bricks! At that time I'd say he was one of the most ferocious

    Check out his fights with Andrew Lewis on youtube. Just full commitment on everything and you can hear the thud of every punch! Lewis must have had a pretty good chin because he absorbs quite a few of those shots full on the face before he cant take any more.

    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!

    I have seen goldfish with more teeth than Rios. Ferocious? Really ? It's quite easy to be ferocious when you don't make weight and have to pay someone to allow you to come in to the ring so much heavier. Until he shares the ring with someone smart enough to make space and make him pay for his come forward style I think it's a bit early to crown him mister ferocious. If he still marches forward after getting caught clean a few times then maybe, but you could make a case for Murray being just as fierce after not stepping back whilst being so much lighter and having that much damage to your face.
