    Muhammad Ali EASILY. No I wasn't around when he fought nor was I old enough during Mike Tyson's prime but looking at Ali and how he reached where he did, the suspension...etc you can't help but pick him.

    Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson
    2 real men.
    Ali said unpopular things in the face of public opinion, held his ground, and was on the right side of history.
    Mike Tyson saw the corruption in boxing and was abused by it, now he speaks out on one of the most historic careers ever with sincerity. He is always honest, even when it's incriminating. Rare trait.

    Morales and George Foreman.


    I love how when he gets tagged and hurt instead of giving up he comes forward throwing combos backing the other guy up. Round 5 of the first Barrera fight was just epic. Its very inspiring cause he is a true warrior with so much heart.


    The Foreman-Moore fight is very inspiring, nobody was giving him a chance, he was way down on the cards and even right as the announcers were talking **** that Foreman was too old and too slow..... bam he puts down Moorer... then as the count goes on close to 8 seconds and the announcers saying "hes not gonna get up" "i cant believe it he did it he did it" The crowd was going ****ing nuts, I dont think Ive heard any other fight with that much cheering.

    so awesome that Foreman proved them all wrong and believed in himself.
