Hell ye
Id say calzaghe aswel...solid chin...went down once in SMW...n was knocked down by B-Hop, n RJJ, but got up as soon as he went down lolOh yeah thats one thing Calslappy had ...a great heart/chin:boxing:
Every fighter has heart but I'm saying he didn't have the most heart I'm sorry about the way I put it.
The man was more or less knocked out cold by Cooper for trying to carry him into the round he predicted he'd KO him in. Then he gets revived in his corner and goes onto pummel him, indeed stopping him in the round he predicted (5th). Frazier was fairly dominant in their first fight and even after that awesome knockdown he got up instantly. He also stood in front Foreman (who just finishing destroying Frazier) and delivered bombs down the middle timing and stopping the undefeated KO artist. Also beats Frazier a couple times to settle the old score in some of the best heavyweight fights ever. Fights Norton to a close SD loss after suffering a broken jaw in early rounds, then rematches him. Fights Earnie Shavers and gets hit so hard he says he can't remember any part of the fight after that devastating punch, yet still finished and won. Fought 4 of the hardest punches the heavyweight division has ever seen, and did most of this well past his prime. If Ali didn't have the heart he had, he probably wouldn't be the way he is today. I'd say he has more heart than most fighters that were mentioned in this thread.
rocky marciano, he had everything working against him, short, light, short arms, slow. but he would take all the punishment to win.
rocky marciano couldn't carry Larry Holmes jock strap.
your right. joe frazier had a ton of heart, george foreman knocked him down 7 times, and he got back up every time.
