    Which fights contain the most impressive displays of machismo and balls in boxing?

    Mayorga hands down. Every time he fights he taunts and puts his hands down and lets you hit him and then comes back swinging. Never a gutless performance.

    Cotto too, the Torres, Judah, Margo, Clottey and Pac fights he overcame adversity and punching power blood and even KD's and won 3 of those fights and lasted into the later rounds in the losses but showed guts and heart doing so.

    Duran when he sticked out his chin to Leonard. Winky when he let Mosley punch him on his. Johnson getting into the ring with Jeffries infront of a crowd of 30,000 people who would have loved to lnch him. Schmneling getting into the ring with Louis in their second fight - no explanation needed I think. Patterson getting into the ring with Liston the second time. Ketchel daring to knock Johnson down.

    Amir Khan allowing himself to be interviewed after the Prescott fight. Most would have walked away, but he manned up.

    I mean you're staring trouble again

    I was thinking more in terms of someone getting battered but still fighting back or someone went blind in one eye but he goes out for one more. Like Cotto getting battered consistently against Margo, but still defiantly swinging back with power.

    Your example is good though, too.
