That aren't often cited for said weakness. People will throw out Naseem Hamed, Acelino Freitas, Mike Tyson and whoever else they have a minor dislike for (Why Tyson I'll never know) But what fighters lacked a reservoir of willpower and guts that usually aren't called out on it, in your personal opinion.
Freitas' heart was taken by Diego Corrales, he was never ever the same fighter mentally after that loss, shame as I thought he boxed beautifully and won all of the first 7 rounds.
Mike Tyson had serious heart, it was his emotions that he could not control at times... But thats what made Mike... "Mike" Mike Tyson always went out fighting, Buster Douglas once mentioned in a post fight interview... "That he never once saw, defeat in Mike's eyes...no matter what he hit him with..he was fighting back"
Tyson ate some monster ****ing shots from Ruddock, Lennox, Holyfield without folding. He had plenty of grit.
Fenech later in his career fits in nicely here, when his thuggish nature and general ******* attitude came out in spades. His lack of balls in the Holiday fight was evident.
Fuch Atlas, Tyson had heart. He took his beating from Lewis like a man, the reason he bit Vander's ear was because he was using his head as a battering ram.
I probably would have bit the ****er too, what with his love of headbutts and even punching you in the balls AS he headbutted you. See the Dokes fight.
What happened there mate? Haven't seen much of Fenech but he is apparently an absolute ***** by almost all accounts.
He just gave a terrible, weak performance and was going down from pitter pat puncher from a volume guy who couldn't crack an egg.
I dont like to say had no heart but a guy who tried to get out of fights when they were turning into fights was Golota. Bit Pou'ha, headbutted Nicholson, Quit versus Grant and Tyson and fouled out twice against Bowe. Personally i rate him abilitywise up until the Grant fight, such a frustration
Bruce Seldon. He did show some heart at times but it's over-shadowed by his blatant quitjobs throughout his career.
