    Im going to go with the impressive Diego Corrales victory over Jose Luis Castillo:happy #1. their second fight proved much different. Chico seems to utlize the spitting out of the mouthpiece tactic well in this fight. It pisses the ref off but works in regards to clearing cobwebs.What seemed to be a sure victory for Castillo with 2 crippling knockdowns against Chico turned tables when Chico came back and won the fight all in a matter of about a minute. Name some other shows of heart that yall have seen.

    Tyrell Biggs winning a fight with a broken collarbone.

    Henry Armstrong fighting without a mouthpiece in the latter rounds, having 30 something stitches, swallowing all that blood, and still beating Ambers.

    Tommy Morrison knocking out Joe Hipp with a broken jaw and injured/broken hand.

    Gene Fullmer is said to have fought a couple rounds with a broken arm against Florentino Fernandez.

    Rocky Marciano coming from behind on the cards to win the title against Jersey Joe Walcott, after suffering a cut and being blinded by a solvent. Also rallying to stop Ezzard Charles in the rematch with that disgusting cut on his nose.

    Meldrick Taylor was said to have swallowed 2 pints of blood against Julio Cesar Chavez, and also suffered horrendous facial swelling (one article I read said he suffered a fracture).

    The examples go on and on.

    Chico spitting out his gumshield twice to buy himself some time is cheating IMO...

    Yes, this. The shoulder was actually dislocated, not for the first time in the fight. Vitali suffered a less serious injury and quit against the far smaller Chris Byrd. No Vitali hate, just saying Danny has the ATG BALLS.

    It was a good show of heart but the mouthpiece tactic never sat well with me.

    he got deducted a point for it. it was one of those i've exhausted all resources type situations. its not the first he has done it either though. your kinda right though. well anyways he found a way to win.

    I know Potter aint Byrd and I know Vitali pounded Danny but Danny has a MASSIVE heart noone can deny that. No need to focus on who was winning etc, the thread is about HEART.
