    But actually if you think about it, it does fit the criteria. Carnera did keep getting up against baer, so yes can see that as a example.

    "Tex" Cobb vs Larry Holmes. National TV. A fight so one sided it made Howard Cossell quit announcing boxing.

    Lots of good shouts here, but one not so long ago deserves a mention, and that is Herbie Hide against Bowe, he certainly put up a good effort, just a little on the small side against big daddy, however Bowe did say a few years back when asked who hit him the hardest, and to most peoples surprise, he said Herbie Hide.

    Braddock has been mentioned already, but I'll second that mention.

    Yes he
    Oh yeah, don't misunderstand me, he did come in to win, and not to just survive. You can't ask for much more than that.

    Nicely put, Bert. The fella in your avatar showed that kind of heart when he fought Holyfield.
