    Totally agree. I've dislocated my shoulder a couple of times and my shoulder aches when I watch that fight (especially during the clinches). Damn that was an incredible show of heart! :good

    There's probably others but Danny Williams springs to mind.

    Watch the fight - incredible. Think Danny was behind on points and he knocks the guy out one handed.

    It has to go to corrales.
    This man cried because they stopped the fight against floyd. He said hes a warrior and he should have went out on his back.
    and against castillo. was even more amazing because he can back to win.
    and against freitas????
    man chcio showed what true heart was and he will be missed rip

    Joe Frazier in Ali III is my favourite. I also love Marquez in Pacquiao I. The story is he had a flash of "quit" when he was on the duck, decided "**** that" and clawed his way back.

    :good And most notably Gatti-Ward 2 when ward's eardrum was busted and he kept telling gatti not to stop punching. He was fighting three gattis from then on.

    That's not the BEST show it's pretty damn impressive.

    I kinda thought the spitting of the mouthpiece was a ***** move. Still an amazing display of heart but that taints it a bit for me.

    Vargas against Trinidad was the first one that came to my mind when I saw this thread title. To suffer 2 KDs at the hands of trinidad in the very first round. Come back to give Tito his toughest fight to date and still keep trying to fight back after being decapitated in the 12th round. Hell if they hadn't stopped it I think he may have let Tito kill him before quitting.

    as as mentioned above, ali-frazier 3. despite reports to the contrary, frazier BEGGED futch to be let out for the last round when he was legally blind and near dead. that's heart, balls and hate at it's finest
