    Agree with some of the names mentioned, Chacon,Saad,Lil Red,Gatti,Morales,Marciano but if i were tp pick one it would be Carmen Basilio i think he epitomizes the never say die attitude better than any other fighter i have ever seen his fights with fellow Hall of famers Fullmer and Robinson are good examples of that, undersized with his eyes a complete mess and taking a beating at times he never stopped going forward, his wars with Ray Robinson,Fullmer,Ortega,Saxton,Gavilan,Demarco etc are legendary its a testament to his warrior spirit that he was involved in The Ring Mag fight of the year in five straight years, and despite being involved in all these wars and having take a great amount of punishment hes still going strong in his late 80's early 90's what a legend, One of the biggest badasses in the history of the sport.

    Nigel Benn.

    The Dark Destroyer, at his best what a warrior, but don't forget the Watson fight. He had the fight beat out of him.
