    Sometimes it is "heart" that causes the better boxer to lose because they prefer to "fight" rather than "box". Also, What people call "heart" could be just better stamina

    Holyfield didn't win the fight on heart, be won it by nullifying Tyons offense, outboxing him and eventually knocking the **** out of him, winning via TKO in the 10th, Evanders heart didn't need to come into play

    I dont really think cotto won that fight against clottey for the record, I think clottey lost that fight. it had nothing to do with heart. clottey inexplicably took his foot off the gas pedal when he could've put the pressure on the fading cotto.

    Most of Rocky Marciano's biggest fights. Walcott I, both Charles fights (especially the second one when Rocks nose was split like a sliced tomato),
    the first LaStarza fight and his last fight ever, against Archie Moore.

    Hatton v Tszyu springs to mind, this might not be a popular one but calzaghe v hopkins, Joe just wanted it more!
