    Name just one fighter above all others who for you represents an unbreakable spirit, someone who would not quit no matter how dire the circumstances.

    Bobby Chacon!

    What about Tex Cobb, anyone else would have quit against Larry with the beating he was handing out.

    I think most of the obvious names have been put forward (and my pick is there too).

    But there are many who are deserving of such consideration and so, I'll add Kid Gavilan into the mix.

    Deontay Wilder, although his case might just be a combination of indomitable stupidity and indomitable ignorance.

    Just thinking back on his reaction to the Bowe shots he took. You could literally feel what he was going through when he described it. On HBO's legendary nights show.
