    I like Foreman for this category, Watching his comeback solidified this for me. He was a very wilful man in the ring.

    I thought Riddick Bowe did exactly that in their first fight. That’s my favorite heavyweight title fight.

    Smokin' Joe is the only one that I can think of readily.

    But even then Holyfield had the heart of a lion and it is impossible to split them.

    Ali never quit and he took some fearful beatings in order to get some of his wins. Henry Cooper cut up easily and was limited but was too brave for his own good.

    Floyd Patterson had a lot of heart. He just didn’t have the greatest set of whiskers.
