    Joe Hughes.

    The guy shouldn't have ever boxed even as a lowly amateur due to his disability (basically can't use his right hand). However, he has a killer left, and he's very clever with it!

    Right now, he is a top European level fighter, and has been unlucky IMO in some of his fights against some top names. He should have had the Euro title IMO.

    A true inspiration to me and a lot of others. Here's an article.

    Jesse Feliciano was an FNF level journeyman whose determination was basically death defying. He fought Kermit Cintron, Andrey Tsurkan, Alfonso Gomez and a few others. Unfortunately the ridiculous punishment burned him out pretty quickly.
