    Watching a classic (Erik Morales-Daniel Zaragoza) made me think about this, like who are in the Arturo Gatti league of never quitting?

    I have a few:
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Gatti, obviously
    Joe Frazier
    Muhammad Ali,
    Bobby Chacon
    Thomas Hearns
    Daniel Zaragoza
    Diego Corrales
    Naseem Hamed
    Tito Trinidad
    Bazooka Limon
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Marcos Maidana
    Cornelius Boza Edwards
    Micky Ward
    Joe Louis
    Hector Camacho Sr,
    Ruben Olivares

    Gatti actually broke in the end. It was pretty clear that in the Gomez fight he was no longer the warrior he had been for nearly two decades.
    And it makes sense. There is only so much one man can take.

    Margarito, fought many rounds against Pac with a caved in orbital while essentially getting blanked, walked through hell in Cotto 1 to break him down, fought on with the same broken orbital on Cotto 2. Even when roided Mosley whooped his ass with a 25 piece combo he was still trying to get up.
