There's a lot of boxers who had a lot of heart. One that hasnt been mentioned is Mickey Ward. The guy could take a beating and still found ways to come back and win. I'm surprised he hasnt been mentioned yet
Just off the top of my head and the still active or (were active until a year or so ago):
Corrales
Arce
Vazquez
Marquez brothers
Morales
Barrera
Pac
Gatti
Cotto
Evander
Pavlik
Abraham (saw the Miranda fight and ref help or not only a warrior could've finished that fight).
Vargas
i think it is naturally easier for smaller fighters to look like they are digging that little deeper based on the fact that a Heavier guy is gonna suffer from fatigue sooner & not be able to sustain the intensity for as long ,which IMO means its doubly hard when u are knackered & dragging 16+ stone about and u keep having to go to the well and u are taking punches of an oponent that could possoibly outweight u by at least a stone
what is the weight differential between Barrera and Morales
I guess you missed the 3rd pacman fight?
Actually no I didnt, and I didn't miss #1 or #2 either. I also didn't miss Morales vs Barrera 1,2, and 3 or David Diaz, Zahir Raheem, Carlos Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Injin Chi, Kevin Kelley, Wayne Mcullough, Juan Carlos Ramirez, and many others all in span so short that would have still been considered magnificent if half the big names were removed from the list.
The man had major heart.
Evander Holyfield all the way for a 23 year old in his 11th fight to go 15 rounds with a Tough seasoned pro Like Dwight Muhammad Qawi takes some balls
Ali
Frazier
Holyfield
fucking incredible that hardly anyone has mentioned Israel Vazquez. that says alot about where he stands in the boxing world with fans. shit is disgusting.
heart has nothing to do with getting beat up and KO'd often fighters get knocked the fuck out for too much heart..
getting beat up and taking it and continuing to fight at all costs is exactly what hearts about. i know some fighters have got too much heart but it is what it is.
Hatton, marquez, vazquez, morales, andrade, gatti and holyfield all deserve a mention. But chico was the ultimate warrior. now theres a guy who had too much heart for his own good.

Thats your opinion homeboy and I have mine so lets just agree to disagree. I dont know who in their right mind would take a beating like that and then try to continue. So if its not heart I dont know what to call it.
