    I'm talking about guys who know they're outgunned but carry on anyway (without fouling). My top 3 in no particular order:

    Tommy Hearns
    Danny Williams
    Arturo Gatti

    Paulie Mallinaggi (had his jaw broken against Cotto in the 2nd I believe and still carried on til the last bell)

    I would say my boy Miguel Cotto because he doesn't hold even when hurt badly because of his principles but he don't half like a low blow the lad :lol:.

    Arthur Abraham. His jaw in that Miranda fight was grotesque.

    What bout ali??Broken jaw v norton?The way he carried on v holmes....sadly.Guy took a shot, the way he got up from plum left hook from frazier in 14th.Maybe off thread a bit with that comment, more bout who takes a shot i guess.Tho for me all round ali was extemely brave boxer.
    gatti, ward, eubanks good shout,danny williams against klitchko was un beliveable.

    Williams against Potter was more impressive.

    Vargas against Tito he would of kept getting up and put down if the ref hadn't jumped in. Took some massive shots in that fight think there was a left hook at the end made his head roll and he was still trying to get up.
