    Inspired by Chris Pontius´ Frazier pic thread, I´d like to ask you which fighters are the most inspiring to you?

    For me those are up there:
    - Max Schmeling
    - Bernard Hopkins
    - Roberto Duran
    - Floyd Patterson
    - Jack Johnson

    What are yours?

    Matthew Saad Muhammad for overcoming childhood abandonment to will his way to a world title. Frankie Randall overcoming early losses and a prison stay, to beat then unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez was also very inspirational.
