    What are some fights in which a fighter showed an incredible chin despite being pummeled from pillar to post or just got rocked with a devastating punch?

    The obvious one for me is la motta against Robinson St valentines day fight. He took an onslaught and was still standing when the ref called it off

    Ronald Gavril vs Benavidez II is one from recent years

    Not even a fan of Gavril but he won me over with that display of heart and toughness

    Hagler vs mugabi
    Just look at this round. Those bombs would have knocked out many men.

    That was bad. Ref should have stopped it. Briggs took a terrible beating.

    Holmes vs. Cobb. The fight was basically 15 rounds of Cobb's face being used as a speedbag, with Larry being in less danger than he would have been against an actual speedbag. The fact that Cobb not only finished on his feet but never even seemed rocked by the beating he took is insane.
