    Will limit myself to Brits in my lifetime. Johnny Owen is the obvious choice. I know he wasn't a champion as such but there can be few purer examples of courage in the face of certain defeat. Read 'McIlvanney on Boxing' and the two essays he does on Johnny. Poignant beyond belief.

    Less tragic but very noble nonetheless mentions.

    Watt - Arguello
    Andries - Hearns
    Robinson - Hamed
    McGuigan - Cruz
    McDonnell - Nelson
    Honeyghan - Starling

    Matthew Saad Muhammad v. Dwight Braxton

    After the 3rd round there was little doubt Braxton would win, but Saad kept trying.
