    Hi all just wondering if you can name a few fighters who had not much natural or technical ability but were tough and deteremined and succeeded because of their determination?

    I thought of a mickey ward type, who are some good examples?

    he probably could....i wouldnt be surprised if he said that. Never seen a guy so ordinary in skill lacked one punch kayo power although a decent puncher and natural talent and atheticism achieve as much as he did on grit, machismo, and a hell of a body attack

    Joe Frazier and Rocky Marciano are obvious examples. Neither was physically gifted but both worked extremely hard, never gave up and were extraordinarily self-motivated.
