    Marquez he was so heavily outmatched that night yet kept going and made it to the final bell.

    Augustus.

    He took three blows to land one. He clearly had Floyd very uncomfortable despite the fact that Floyd was winning every round.

    Augustus was all guts.

    Gatti took the worst beating dont know if that counts as brave though.
    Hattons the only one who attacked for the whole fight even whilst consistently getting tagged, pretty relentless.
    And Castillo fought 2 smart fights.
    I think Marquez probably gets it being so much smaller moving up massively in weights and was very fearless throughout,

    Where the hell is Marquez? The guy knew (as everyone else did) that he had NO chance even if Mayweather Rex had weighed in at the agreed catchweight. When Floydasaurus came in 2 pounds heavier, Marquez must have known that he was going to get a vicious beating, but he didn't get stopped, didn't quit and fought hard for all 12 rounds.

    I dont think Jesus Chavez gets enough cred for giving Mayweather a competetive fight.. At least up until the mid rounds.. I think i only had May ahead by like 3 points when it was stopped between the 9th and 10th rounds.

    i voted castillo because it was a close fight but after i voted i thought in terms of bravery i probably should have voted Ndou. he tasted a lot of punches but showed tremendous heart unleashing a flurry whilst Floyd was on the ropes albeit largely missing the target. you could tell the punishment Ndou absorbed took away some power in his punches.

    i misunderstood and answered castollo which was where floyd was at his bravest.

    As opponents i' go for hatton. it's all in body language and marquez and gatti would start to go more and more on the back foot.

    Where hatton would just keep coming forward again and again. Whic was Brave and probably a little stupid.But oh well, he had a whole country behind him.

    Didnt Augustus make him bleed through the nose? The man(Augustus) had nothing, he was completely outmatched but kept going, taking those punches and then landed his own.
