    What fighters at light-heavy and under had the same heart as a Holyfield, Frazier.

    Or Marciano? We all know these illustrious Heavyweight fighters who are known for their tremendous heart, will and courage.

    But what fighters in lower weight division in boxing history had the same heart as the above?

      Those are the guys that are most of my favorite boxers too, the ones with heart, the true warriors, the guys you think of right away when you think of the word "fighter."

        From LHW down? There are way too many!

        I'll just mention one that I think is often forgotten now. Bobby Chacon was the epitome of heart. Forget Holyfield, Gatti, Lopez, Saad etc.

        Check out Chacon: FOTY for 83
