The Greatest Showings Of Bravery...

what about Billy Collins Jr going the distance against a guy with stone like hands

 

Just about pissed my pants reading the last sentence mate. Brilliant.

:good

 

i'll go with tommy farr against joe louis.
broken nose, 4 cuts rond his eyes,damaged hand and beckoning joe louis at the beginning of the 15th round to "come on" even though it was just bravado.
joe louis said "that boy had some balls"
tommy said "every time i hear his name my nose bleeds"

 

Danny Williams against Vitali? He took a lot of punishment but kept going on.

 

Got this from antother webiste:

Nel Tarleton won multiple Lonsdale Belts despite having only one functioning lung, after having contracted TB as a kid. Nel's final record was 116W (KO 41) 20L 8D. Despite having one functioning lung, Nella went 15 rounds fifty times in a professional career that lasted nearly twenty years

 

Can't have it both ways, he wanted to quit, and only continued when his totally stupid handlers forced him to go on. No bravery, simply trying to keep his unbeaten record by any means possible.

 

So many good answers. I really admired Malignaggi's bravery at the end of the hands of Cotto

 

Arturo Gatti vs Ward 1 (body shot) both deserve mention....Carmine Basilio/Tony Demarco both deserve mention Matthew Saad Muhamid/Yaki Lopez BobbyChacon/Bazooka Limon Graziano/Zale Arthur Abraham vs Miranda..Vitali Klitschko vs Lewis Vito Antufermo vs Hagler 1

 

Vitali Klitschko Quitting on his stool with 2 rounds to go ahead 88-83 on all 3 cards vs 6'0 205lb chris byrd.

 

Shannon Briggs, two time asthmatic heavyweight champion

 

Erik Morales has shown as much heart and courage through out his career as any fighter I have ever seen ... an incredible warrior ..

 

Shut the **** up. You telling me going 8 rounds with a monster punching like Edison Miranda with a broken jaw and blood pouring all over the place isn't bravery? Dick.

 

Redrooster and Senya continuing to post on the classic forum despite being shown to be the purest of idiots.....

 

Riddick Bowe takes that horrendous beating in the rematch against Andrew Golota, and coming back with right hands himself every now and then. That put to bed all the crap about him having no heart.
