    The "proudest" youve ever been of your favorite fighters? Not necessarily when they displayed the most skill.

    A damaged Roy Jones showing his heart, coming forward and backing tarver up while out on his feet in the last 2 rounds of the tarver rubber match after trying to avoid getting knocked out for most of the first 10 rounds(also coming back and winning round 11 in the first tarver fight).

    Duran beating Barkley after hes been written off so many times and after almost being knocked out by a left hook in round 8 or 9.

    Tyson taking his beating like a man vs Lewis, his entire personal turn around the last 10 years has been nice to watch

    Holyfield HEAVILY flooring Bowe in the rubber match while seemingly having serious health problems after the doctor threatens to stop it between rounds. All 3 fights were an incredible display of courage by evander. His entire career was amazing. You can put that man in the ring with either a dead body or a grizzly bear and he could find a way to make it a FOTY candidate with either one.

    Hopkins performances vs trinidad, pavlik and both pascal fights, especially the first one where he comes back from 2 KDs against a much younger man. I was proud of how he didnt look for a way out vs kovalev.

    Foreman winning the HW title again. What unbelievable determination.

    Marquez pacquiao 1, came back from 3 KDs to salvage a draw.

    Morales vs Maidana was just amazing and everything i said about holyfield applies to morales as well. Great great career. My dad had tears in his eyes watching morales pacquiao 3 when it looked like it was all over for him.

    Bradley vs provodnikov. Im not a big bradley fan but that was an unbelievably courageous display by a guy who felt like the public had wronged him.
