    Salido.....
    No matter who the foe (Marquez/Gamboa/Mikey) he brought it & never backed down... Never the most talented but he fought his best

    Marquez....
    Getting dropped in fights only motivated him to come back stronger

    Crawford? No disrespect

    But he hasn't had to show it yet, mostly due to his level of comp. We will see what hes made of VS Spence

    Very good list from the OP.

    Honestly, I feel like suggesting Khan. Every time he gets stuck on his ass or hurt he just wants to go wading back in. Could argue it's delusion I suppose but the will he has in himself is remarkable.

    Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward. Two fighters who would not back down for no one, even when badly hurt and out on their feet. Seeing those two warriors collide was a thing of beauty, and we even got to see it three times!

    Also a shout out to my man Kessler. Wasnt afraid to travel and would fire back when in trouble. In the first fight against Froch his eye was badly f***** from his loss to Ward, but he still grinded out a UD.

    For me, Arthur Abraham the German warrior was the most mentally tough fighter. Mohamed Ali was another.

    Froch. If I had to choose someone to fight for my life it would be him.
