    Meldrick Taylor rising from the canvas after having his face rearranged by Chavez for 12 rounds and he took a hell of a shot to go down but he willed himself back to his feet

    Sam Soliman in his fight with Jermaine Taylor basically fighting on 1 leg

    Badou Jack making the distance with one of the worst cuts I've ever seen vs Browne

    Juan Manuel Marquez in the first Pacquiao fight battling from the brink in round 1 and delivering a classic

    Lamon Brewster going down against Wlad, lost every round got pounded the HBO crew was begging and pleading for the ref to stop the fight and Brewster came back

    Basically what I want to see in a fighter is never giving up. I've seen so many fights where the better guy wins and the loser just kind of survives. Then there are fights where a guy loses and may even be hopelessly over matched but they go in there and they take their chances and they fight

    notice most of the heart examples I put were not of guys who won. I think it takes plenty of heart to give it your all and still not win.

    Garcia also got Khan with a wicked low blow, but he didn't even take a second to recover.

    Especially with everyone calling him out for his lack of heart and Toemaker excuses, I was amazed he fought on for 5-6 rounds with a fully ruptured achilles, unreal.

    What about his sore toe?

    On a serious note, Danny Williams knocking out Mark Potter with a dislocated shoulder takes some beating!!!

    Edit: Clubber beat me to it.

    Was going to say this too, even though it lead to an incredible moment, it was hard to watch and I was really thinking that Williams should have been pulled out.
