Boxers with Great Heart: Who Are They?
Please list your top 5 (or more).
I think Jirov has a Great Heart.
-------------
My list:
Top 6 among HWs (hard to rank exactly):
1-6. Jirov, Byrd, Wlad, VK, Toney, Brewster
Top 5 among other weights:
1-5. Kostya, Ward, JMM, Chico, Gati.
................
Holifield--Will fight till the end
Trinidad-- will always come forward and pressure
Mayorga--Crazy, no style,great chin but no brains
Ali--The best
Ward---Enough said
Gatti---Enough said
Byrd
Holyfield
Rahman
McCline
Tyson....(Not a favorite,but he does have the heart of a champion)
Tyson used to have great punching skills and very good head movement.
I do not think he ever displayed any heart. :cool:
Danny is a conundrum, because he's SCARED TO DEATH when he's fighting...but he's still got a ton of heart!
It would take a real beating to put him down and out at the moment...something not even Tyson could do!
Black
Jirov
I KNOW THIS WON'T BE A POPULAR CHOICE BUT
VLAD K. has never once stayed down off of a KD
he has never quit getting up
against Purrity he was fighting on until his corner stepped in
against sanders he got up each time
and even against Brewster dead tired he got up
not to mention getting up against D williams, and S. Pannel
even though those were flash KD's
he may have lost but he has always fought on.
other guys include
WARD, a club fighter who got to the top (HBO) because of his red organ
Mayorga
and some more guys
who people already mentioned.
Wlad has a Great Heart too. I agree with you there.
My top 6 among heavyweights (hard to rank exactly):
1-6. Jirov, Byrd, Wlad, VK, Toney, Brewster
In other weights:
1-5. Kostya, Ward, JMM, Chico, Gati.
WARD, a club fighter who got to the top (HBO) because of his red organ
yes!!! big ups to Novarasputin, Irish Micky Ward is heart's posterboy!
i think no one mentioned marciano because it's so obvious
