Bravest fighters

Jack Johnson had to fear for his life before, during and between fights. He was truly hated and yet he persevered in the most defiant fashion imaginable at the time. Not sure it's possible to be braver

 

Sam Langford fought anybody from any weight. He fought top tier HWs when he was half-blinded and washed up.

Bob Fitzsimmons was a MW who fought two of the best HWs in the world at almost 40 within a few months (and he stopped them quickly). He feared nobody and I'm sure he wouldn't fear modern giants either.

 

Thanks for all the likes @mr. magoo

 

Battling Nelson..the original Jack Sharkey..Ad Wolgast..Boza Edward's were not mentioned yet

 

Edwards is a good shout.

 

The Hagler fight alone convinces me that Mugabi was one of the bravest of all time. Frank Fletcher and James Green were pretty gutsy themselves.

 

I see Duran, Mugabi, Bert Cooper and James Green mentioned. Tough but each one had at least one fight in which they quit.

 

What fight did Mugabi quit in? As for Cooper, he proved what a brave guy he was after the Foreman fight.

 

Thank you. That gets a like from me now.

 

Modern day Carl Froch fought anyone, home or away and always came to fight.

 

What about a rematch with Foreman?

 

He was more scared of Eddie Machen.

 

That come to my mind too.

 

Norton as well
