What Fighter showed the most heart in the ring in a fight?

Chacon and Saad are always two of the first to mind, for me. Tim Bradley's performance against Ruslan Provodnikov was Saad-like in terms of the fighting heart displayed, and that's high praise.

Mauricio Herrera, that's a latter-day guy with a huge ticker.

 

Khan-Garcia.

MY man tried so hard to let the world know you can't keep a good man down.

 

That's actually a really good shout. One thing you can say about Khan, he always fights his heart out when he's in there.

 

Conor Benn

 

Inaccurate title, some boxers are very charismatic (Corrales, Gatti, Holyfield), so they can touch millions. Lots of poker faced boxers from low level to elite level, endure near death punishment & never show it...In general anybody who chooses to step inside the ring, is in the big heart group.

 

Started rooting for him soon as he got up. The guy could barely stand, wobbly as hell, dunno how the ref let him continue. But the guy didn't even run away, didn't hug, he was gonna go out swinging. And even after the bell he was still trying to come after Garcia. Maybe not the smartest move, but he had fire in his belly.

Next round he gets knocked down again, takes some haymakers clean, and just signals Danny to keep bringing it.

Khan fought stupid, Garcia didn't want the rematch cos Khan could have cruised to a 12 round decision.

That 4th round was insane. Looked like we were in for an incredible fight when he started rallying back like that, was actually eating the kind of hooks that you'd expect to finish him off while throwing his own leather and pushing Garcia back, but then that more innocuous, cuffing one to the top of the head knocked it all out of him again. Real shame he couldn't make it out of that round and get another minute's breather, but it was a good stoppage.

 

Holyfield in everyone of his fights, mans a legend!

 

Marquez.

So many to chose from. He's always getting ridiculed, but Khan had immense heart

 

Billy Conn against Joe Louis

 

Gatti Ward 2 third round. Ward suffered a broken eardrum and finished the fight. Imagine feeling off balance the rest of the whole fight.

Abrahams jaw vs Miranda.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez coming back from three knockdowns and a broken nose against Pacquiao.

Danny Williams fighting with one arm out of it's socket.

Archie Moore coming back from four knockdowns to knock out Yvonne Durell.

Orlando Salido swarming Mikey Garcia after being on the canvas four times.

 

Both Ali and Frazier in the Thrilla in Manilla. That fight was simply war.

 

I'm amazed no one mentioned Antonio Margarito.
