    Hector "Macho" Camacho - although perhaps his lack of heart for a fight is something that he gets called out on regularly!

    wow Camacho had heart

    how could anyone take a beating like what he got of Chavez

    also he once got arrested for being 90mph over the speed limit while shagging a bird

    Tyson took bombs from the highly overrated puncher and fighter Rudduck? WOW Tyson must have balls the size of boudlers. Ruddock beat Mike Dokes and that is pretty much it with his career so taking his bombs proves nothing. David Jaco ate Ruddock Bombs ass well. Holyfield wasnt a big puncher, Lewis fought like a chicken half of the time and Buster Douglas a nobody took Mike Tyson's heart or what ever heart he had.

    Wlad and Vitali have no heart or balls.

    Mayweather has no heart or balls either, When black fighters call him out he ducks them. His whole career has been based on him fighting slow mexicans..

    Lennox Lewis had no heart, When you knocked him down he stayed down.

    He has never been stopped or quit in a long, hard career though.

    Does no-one remember Nardiello?? His heart was the size of an unfertilized egg.

    we say they have no heart

    but to get in that ring and fight at the high level that these guys do they got hell of a heart, just these real top top guys have that extra heart what makes them great while these guys just have good heart.

    Howard Davis sprung to mind for me too. Great talent, little heart. To the TS Prince Naseem indeed gets a bum rap, he had to take a beating from Barrera and he did get beat badly but Nas didnt give up. Should have fought on for redemption but never did, who knows why?

    The guys that are usually questioned in the heart department are those "on top" and frontrunner type fighters. What you typically see with that style is a guy that dishes it out a helluva lot better than they take it. And some times they don't take too much before finding a way to lose the fight. Usually it's interpreted as heart, but if that fighter was ahead in the bout and steamrolling or dominating the opposition, they'll hang in there and look terrific. It's just a wide descrepency between being in charge and having to hang in there and absorb, and it is a measurement without that wide of a gap on other boxing styles. A fatal flaw, if you will.

    I really never thought of it as a case of heart, but more of unfamiliar waters and that style just not looking good in those scenarios. A guy like Courage Tshabalala comes to mind. Terrific when he's on top of the opponent and strictly dishing it out. Dynamite. Not so good when he has to absorb to stay in the fight. But I think its something of a stigma applied to the frontrunner and on top guys. And it's mostly because they like say a 85-15 % ratio in terms of physically dominating opponents. That's the sweetspot they want and usually keep their opponents in. When that ratio gets dropped, man that parachute sure opens and lots of times it's diagnosed as heart. I always just thought of it as a weakness in their overall game and not a heart issue, but actually a style one.

    Dominick Guinn recently perhaps? Maybe that's not heart, ability?

    Damn, thought Id get him first, if he had the heart of Muhammed Ali he'd actually be pretty decent

    Nas didn't have much heart, he barely trained for the Barrera fight.
