    These are the guys who may or may not have had alot of natural talent, but they were just so tough & had so much heart. Usually they always found a way to win & the fans just loved them!

    These are some of my choices in no particular order:

    Mathew Saad Muhammed
    Jake Lamota
    Bobby Chacon
    Iran Barkley
    George Chuvalo
    Arturo Gatti
    Rocky Graziano
    Bazooka Limon
    Mickey Ward
    Jerry Quarry
