    What about Chuck Wepner? His nickname included the term "Bleeder."

    I saw this one fight once of a prime george foreman, destroying some average joe, the guy kept getting up for more several times, while he had no shot in hell at winning.
    I cant remember his name now (and no it wasnt frazier), point is true blood and guts and warriors might be some of the guys that arent really known at all, the talentless journeyman who takes beatings in wars for paychecks and lost dreams, rocky types.
