The most RELENTLESS fighter of all time

Hurricane Hank Armstrong for sure.
Other fighters are busy but ''perpetual motion" swang legit haymakers for 15 rounds against bigger men whilst taking mad punishment and performing weight cutting antics.
They simply do not make them like that anymore. He even bounced and bobbed in between exchanges. I'm fairly sure he was on some sort of amphetamine but the footage of what he actually did is incredible and imo, unsurpassed in terms of relentlessness.

 

Michael 'The Great' Katsidis. Man was the very definition of relentless.

Prime Holyfield was relentless and couldn’t be discouraged

 

I'm pretty sure he had an abnormally slow heartbeat which meant he could really ramp up the activity without feeling it the way most athletes would, I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure this is recorded! Either way....foocking beast!

 

David Price

 

That would make sense I guess although I am no doctor.
He had a lot of dirty money backing his bid to get 3 belts at once, some pretty powerful chess players seemed to be using him as a pawn.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was helped along the way one way or another.
He was from an era where coming up the hard way really was unthinkably hard by today's standards.
That bob he had seemed to be developed on the railroads, hammering in steel pegs over and over, probably with the threat of a good whack or two if you weren't going hard enough.
I'm not in favour of that sort of treatment but imo, he was forged in a fire that simply doesn't exist these days.
Closest modern day comparable story would be Manny Pac, unless you've been in dire struggles, i don't think you can possibly develop that drive.

 

I bet knowing you have cement in your hands is a great motivator.

 

Aaron Pryor is the epitome of this

 

Qawi and Frazier. Qawi was like a meat grinder in the ring and the only time I saw Frazier back up was in the Foreman fights.

 

Until he got hit, that is.

 

Chavez!

 

There's throwing punches and moving for 12, then there's throwing haymakers for 15 whilst using a bob and weave as defence and getting tonked by heavier men out of your real weight class as you do it. Hank Armstrong has NO PEERS in relentlessness.

 

Ricky Hatton was ferocious in his prime.
