    Heart? Skills? Athleticism? Power? Charisma?

    What say you?

    Not boring, action packed, fast and furious fighters- Gamboa and KHAN comes to mind.

    If a fighter is great I admire humility. That is why my favorite fighter is Thomas Hearns. Never a huge ego and always nice to his opponent after. What I do not like in any sport is ego.

    i think about Rocky Balboa. but he's fictional. Gatti (and Ward) comes close

    Tommy Hearns. I don't think anyone could say anything disrespectful about the hitman.

    HEART.
    Some examples,
    Juan Manuel Marquez, knocked down three times in the first round and gets up to finish his fight.

    Diego "Chico" Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo.

    Arturo "Thunder" Gatti vs Micky Ward.
