    Who is your pick for the fighter with the most heart? The one who believed in himself, who believed he could win even when he was beaten. The one who would not quit and never backed down from a fight. Trained like every fight was their last one.

    Patterson and Frazier getting in there with Liston and Foreman after getting blasted out in the first fight is an example of great great heart.

    The more busted up the better! Ok, let me clarify; the fighters that were so beaten up, hurt, bleeding, blinded eyes, broken bones, who fought on, went the distance and in some cases won the fight. I know a guy, broke his hand in the second round in the Garden, and went on to take the unanimous decision. Any guesses?

    EDIT: Coyness is such a low-handed ploy...Charley Young Zivic of course!

    Sonny Liston ... you've got to pull his shoulder to stop him ... he'd die before he quit ...:lol:

    All kidding aside there have been so many I don't even know where to start ...

    Evander Holyfield, Archie Moore and Charles he showed a lot of heart in many of his fights look at his first fight with Marshall as well as the previous names mentioned.
